what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This film could have been good. Instead we got another SYFY movie. The whole idea of Aliens is always great and having Aliens control our weather (and tornadoes) is a really fun concept to play with. Aliens controlling tornadoes to say destroy big areas to lay foot for a bigger plan. Like the city destroyers in independence day, the tornadoes could level whole cities and towns and then the real aliens could land.

Wow, what a superb movie! Simply masterful. You would think that this movie would be a cheesy, over-dramatic, and poorly directed film as it comes from Syfy, but gosh darn was I surprised. The actors are quality and I wouldn't be surprised if they land a big role in a major production based on their performances in this movie. The overly dramatic gestures don't bother me at all. The chubby woman, who uses a scooter occasionally, can run too. I can't get enough of her running in the movie. Too bad she gets sucked up by the alien tornado. She was the best actress in the movie. The super sassy girl. who is clearly in her late 20's, who plays a 17 year old girl is not annoying at all. Her running isn't annoying either. And oh my! How could I forget?! The special effects are award worthy! It's amazing how people are getting sucked up by tornadoes and their hair isn't even moving. Must be some good hairspray they have on set. I could go on and on about this movie, but go ahead and watch it yourself. Hope you enjoy as much as I did ;0) ... This movie was so good that I entirely forgot it was about aliens.

This is the worst film I have ever seen. Low budget, bad acting, and terrible story line. There was no proper character introduction or development and so there is nothing likable about any of the main characters, apart from maybe the dad (Jeff Fahey). The film doesn't give enough background about anyone to develop. You got all the basic facts about the main characters right at the beginning as though that was enough, so they ended up being very one-dimensional. The so-called storm-chaser scientist was really annoying and it was very hard to believe that was her job. I found the film slow moving in the middle the plot was laughable. Although it is a sci-fi film, it is no X-Files, believe me! Actually picked it up because the cover looked interesting. However, I realised afterwards that the cover of my DVD had nothing to do with the actual film! Also, the names listed in the description were spelled wrong or just wrong altogether! Don't waste your time!

We all know the drill on SyFy channel movies. You can't compare them to anything other than previous SyFy channel movies. With shoestring budgets and B & C grade actors (mostly C), they crank out their "original" movies with regularity and zero surprises.Alien Tornado did not break this tradition. This one was just slightly on the low side of the scale. The script was ridiculous, the characters thoroughly unappealing (I'm used to that), and the CGI SFX were only average. Now that home PC's with the latest processors can do the third level CGI that SyFy utilizes, you'd think they'd use the savings to ramp up the writing or actor expenditures. They don't. This one didn't even have any former stars in a cameo role.The only reason to watch these things is because you're stuck at home and nothing else is on. And, of course, because you can figure out the plot by the first commercial break, and after that you can leave the room for a few minutes at any time and not worry about missing anything vital to the story.This one was so completely silly and contrived that even hard core fans of SyFy movies will be disappointed. Not to worry. They'll be punching out another one in a few weeks. Ice Twisters vs. Alien Tornado perhaps? Paul Birkett wrote both. You know he's thinking about it.{EDIT: On May 2nd 2012, this movie already had a name change. I guess the producers didn't like our IMDb comments.}
