It tried to take itself way too seriously for the kind of film it was. I love bad films, but bad films that are fun to watch. This didn't have that cheesy campy feeling that a lot of the bad films who know they're bad films have.
So there's conspiracy theories, assassins a magical "save mankind" fuel that's good to save everyone, even if it does cause a semi sentient fire twister, that looks for heat and fuel source. It sounds like it should be the kind of tone a SyFy original would have. But it's actually played very straight, even though the concept is ridiculous.
There's even a pretty brutal death scene between a bad guy, and a journalist.
