Console best movie i've ever seen.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Marshal Phipps For what Ice Twisters is worth, it's not bad, this is one of the better Syfy tornado films. While the plot does remind you of Storm Chasers: Revenge of the Twister (if you've seen it) this film focuses on the characters working together to resolve a major issue rather than a personal struggle around a tragedy.The CGI is a noteworthy improvement (given the standards of Syfy) and the steady pacing keeps you watching. I can't say too much about character development since I was more focused on the plot and action.Ice Twisters is a good B movie, in the end I felt satisfied since I didn't feel bored at any point while watching the movie.
Uriah43 "Charlie Price" (Mark Moses) is a former scientist who has quit his profession in order to write science-fiction books. One day while at a book signing ceremony in a small Oregon town the weather suddenly changes and a tornado rips through the main street. Not long afterward he notices a former colleague named "Joanne" (Camille Sullivan) taking water samples and immediately connects the bizarre change in weather to her sudden appearance . After coaxing her and another scientist by the name of "Frank" (Robert Moloney) he finds out that they work for the Federal Science Foundation and that that have indeed been manipulating the weather as part of their research. Yet, while they have been able to change the weather they gradually realize that they cannot control it and this leads to disastrous consequences. At any rate, rather than detail the rest of the story and risk spoiling the film for those who haven't seen it, I will just say that even though the formula was pretty standard it was a fun movie all the same. Naturally, as a made-for-television movie there really isn't anything too graphic or risqué but then it wasn't necessary anyway. Although I didn't care for the rather far-fetched ending I thought that the overall action and special effects were essentially okay and the actors played their parts pretty well. That said, while this certainly isn't a great movie by any means I still found it to be a satisfactory movie all the same and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
Juergen Eichermueller I was disappointed with the movie. There was just something missing that one can't really place their finger on. Was it just me or was there too much trite in the plot? Acting so-so. I couldn't figure out why the twisters froze everything in their paths: entire landscapes, buildings, trains, etc. but did not freeze the car that the heroes where in. They had the ability to just drive through the ice twisters. As the twisters approached the Big City, the cars in the streets did not appear to "notice" what was heading their way. Nothing was mentioned in the movie about the population of the city. Did the people just all disappear? Really weird. It is not a movie that I would go out and purchase.
m-qasimraza I watched this apparently EXTREMELY low-budget movie based on one review i read on IMDb; i should have read more. It starts off a little abruptly but hey, some great movies do. but in its course it becomes a VERY bad mix of "The Day After Tomorrow" and the classic "Twister". Put those two movies together with really bad graphics and a beyond-amateurish cast and you've got Ice Twisters. whats more, they even chose the name "Jo" for the female lead (same as Helen Hunt in Twister). At times i couldn't believe how expressionless most of the actors were, especially when they were staring at a totally fake-looking ice-tornado coming their way. And in this one sequence with the fighter jets - the fireball that ensues? jeez, i could render the fire better.to sum it up, i registered with IMDb for the sole reason that is to warn people about this crap-fest of a movie. save your money and 1.5 hrs.. buy your girl some nice flowers instead.
