Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Marshal Phipps This film starts off strong and manages to keep its strength to the end. For a TV movie it does impress, the tornadoes looks surprisingly realistic and the characters are developed enough to where you can easily sympathize with them during their conflict.On a technical standpoint the film stumbles due to the inaccurate depiction of a nuclear power plant. If tornadoes were to hit a nuclear power plant in real life a meltdown would be extremely unlikely due to the multiple fail-safes, a good example of this is when the Davis- Besse Nuclear Power Station was struck by an F2 tornado in 1998, the reactor core automatically shutting down after external power was disabled when the switchyard was damaged, power was restored without incident. Interestingly enough, this incident inspired the movie, though very loosely.Atomic Twister is an enjoyable film with suspense and humor here and there, I recommend you check it out.

amkbcj I found this movie to be entertaining and a lot of fun and after all isn't that what movies are for: fun and entertainment?No, there was no great scientific accuracy on tornadoes or nuclear plants but who cares? It isn't a documentary. The acting was pretty good from a great cast and the characters are likable and believable. The story line was entertaining and exciting even if it was not based on hard core reality in all areas. This movie held the interest of my family and friends from start to finish and the comments on heroes and villains alike kept coming. All in all an engaging movie and with popcorn and snacks added it makes for a great Saturday night.

TheLittleSongbird What is there left to say? Atomic Twister is nothing more than an atomic mess. I suppose there is some novelty value on viewing, but again that is if you are watching the film in the right mood. For me I actually was finding myself laughing at all the logical fallacies that have been outlined very well in previous reviews, at the scenes that were meant to have been set in a nuclear power plant but actually looked like they had been shot in a room under someone's house and at the truly unbelievable, stilted dialogue. Atomic Twister also has the increasingly contrived relationships that formed the very predictable and already far-fetched in concept story, the unlikeable and stereotypical characters and the terrible acting from all involved with Sharon Lawrence overacting and Corbin Bernson has been much better especially in Psych, where he's used much better. All in all, some may revel in its awfulness, if not it will physically hurt to watch it. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Scriptorius Yep: total trash. Every time the script brought in another detail my response was either disbelief or pain. The whole movie is a study in the "how not to" of film making. A nuclear plant in the US was actually hit by a tornado well before this movie was made. It shut down safely and its back up systems functioned as required. Does this movie highlight any serious technical, social, or other reasons why nuclear plants are endangered by tornadoes? NOT! I always wondered why a "plot device" is a bad thing -- don't all plots rely on them? This movie is an example of why plot devices that are noticed, noticed to the point of being shoved at the viewer, really are annoying and disrupt continuity. Speaking of which: a lot of continuity problems. The whole movie is one giant plot device: atomic plot twister indeed. The characters and their relationships seem very contrived. Some key dialog between Jack and his (?) girl are totally unbelievable considering their circumstances. The movie is supposedly set in West Tennessee: sure didn't look that way to me, either demographically or geographically. I could understand a naive person thinking that a fire hose and a fuel transfer hose could be or would be used interchangeably -- but not the on-scene fire department officer. There are a lot of technical problems: nuclear plant design, nuclear plant operations, sheriff department procedures, etc. None of the professionals looked professional -- they looked like actors without even a superficial background on what the character's job required. The movie consistently dissed about every type of worker in it. Some reviewers have described this movie as a comedy because it is so bad. For me, it even fails to be funny: mostly painful to watch. Was this the director's fault? Very noticeable when some characters tell themselves why they're acting the way they are ... as if memorizing what the director just told them. I just wanted to scream, DON'T DO THAT! Oh well.
