TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I'm NOT gonna ruin this for you (it'll do that all on it's own). No, I'm commenting on the fact that I recorded it on my DVR, because it was on the Science Channel, and I thought it was either a 'what if' show, or a show about a hypothetical massive storm hitting somewhere in the U.S.Within...oh...30 seconds, something seemed...'off.' So, I Googled the names of some of the 'scientists' because they didn't 'seem' to be REAL scientists. I was a little shocked to find out SUPERSTORM was NEITHER of what I thought it'd be, but rather a schlocky straight to the discount bin 'movie' MADE in a pseudo-doc style.In summary, since I've been told to 'tone down' my review and what I wanted to say - I'll leave it by just saying this flick - from what I saw, is terrible.

I saw this show on the Discovery Science channel. For those familiar with the extremely low-budget graphics, animation, and photography of the Science Channel, this was quite an exceptionally well-done show.They have real actors, high-quality graphics, and a very interesting story-line. I thought it was very entertaining and suspenseful.Tom Sizemore played the government bureaucrat very believably. For those of you familiar with Stargate SG-1, "Martouf" is one of the main characters, "Lance". The tension between the scientists was very compelling as each had their own research and points of view, but their own opinions required constant re-evaluation as the situation changed hourly.Well done science program.

I stumbled onto this movie by accident. What a mess!! Its only artistic value was that of a train wreck. It was difficult not to watch for a while to see how many ways they could do a bad job.First the photography. I'm sure the filmmakers will wax poetic over using video and bad camera-work to give an impression of "reality". All they did was give an impression of lack of aptitude.Then the acting... Except for Tom Sizemore (and even he wasn't doing such a great job) it was Afternoon at the Amateur Hour (and that's being mean to Amateur Hour!) As for the direction, it consisted at attempts at shaking the camera in lieu of direction.Oh, and the sound was ludicrously bad, as if they had used a Mic from a video-cam (which they probably did).I'm asking you, what's the point of doing a movie like this if you're not going to even try to do it well?

SuperStorm came to our screens in the Uk over the last three weeks and despite reservations with the plot and the fact that this has been done before in Hollywood Blockbusters, I was kind of looking forward to seeing it. I wasn't disappointed. taken off the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the mini series, takes us into the world of weather manipulation. Something that a few years ago would have been unheard of, is now a reality and becoming less like science fiction every day. The storyline has some interesting ideas and dilemmas. If only we could change the course of a storm we could save the lives of thousands of people every year. However Mother nature has proved many times before that she isn't one to be tampered with or tamed and with discovery, comes great risk and even possible failure and tragedy.I won't tell you the plot, as you will have to see it yourself to understand, but to sum up, SuperStorm poses us questions and offers answers. With fantastic special effects and a strong cast and funding from both sides of the Atlantic under the banner of the BBC, SuperStorm is a must see in my book.Watch it as a piece of fiction, but ask yourself the question.....what if.Enjoy.
