That was an excellent one.
Simply A Masterpiece
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The movie poster of Storm Seekers shows Daryl Hannah as an attractive young professional female. The movie itself though shows Hannah as a very unprofessional and utterly unattractive woman who has a psychological problem so profound that she compulsively puts the lives of her crew in danger. Now that could have been fine if the acting was good and the plot were worth the wile. It isn't. Nearly all the action takes place inside the cabin of a plane rigged as a flying meteorological laboratory. Every thirty or so seconds the director serves us with pale flashbacks to meetings between Hannah and her psychologist that are so incredibly boring because of the unbearable shallowness of the dialogs and the stupidity of the psychology which make it impossible to feel any sympathy. There are more flashbacks, to the time where Hannah was a child. And weird scenes with Hannah watching and holding white lily's that ignite spontaneously. I guess these scenes are there to give the movie a sense of intellectual and spiritual importance. They don't. Hannah has always been bad at acting and bad acting is what she does in this movie. But there were times when you could forget about that and just watch her sovereign beauty. She has lost all of her beauty unfortunately and so there's nothing left to watch. Here's a preview of what you may expect: the plane is falling from the sky while going in the eye of the storm. Hannah gives the pilot a serious advice: "You have to get the plane up, Henry". And this was one of the least stupid lines. This movie is an embarrassment to all intelligent beings. If you watch it, you'll not be just wasting your time, you'll be deeply offended.
The only thing that stinks worse than this movie is roadkill or the contrived and debunked science of global warming that they spout during the movie. The global warming is of course the cause of the hurricanes. The acting is OK i guess, But only OK. The rest of it is pure Bull.... well, I won't say it.I do not like shows that keep jumping from one time to another. this one is terrible in this regard. It almost makes the move unwatchable.I have always been a Daryl Hannah fan but I think she should have saved all of us the agony of seeing her in her faded glory and just stayed retired in her "carbon neutral" home. It figures tho, these Hollywood types always have to jump on the bandwagon if there is a new environmental cause.Don't waste your time with this tripe. I wouldn't feed it to my dog
at first i wasn't quite sure what to make of this made for TV movie. it wasn't that bad actually, although Daryl Hannah seems quite out of place, doesn't seem to fit her character very well, the plot centers around a reporter who climbs aboard a hurricane hunting plane, they all suit up and fly through the eye of the hurricane, our main character has issues with hurricanes as when she was a little girl she lost both of her parents to one. during the film you see bits and pieces of the interview she has with her psychiatrist and you also see "flashback" of the hurricane that killed her parents when she was a child. the stormchasing sequences are very good also,, this is not a bad TV movie, and the plot seems solid enough,, i just think Daryl Hannah was out of place ,, out of her element in this film.
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen; from a horrendously written story line (borrows from 'Twister' a lot) to inane dialogs and substandard acting. The second half of the movie I fast forwarded a lot because I could no longer watch Darryl Hannah's therapy flashbacks. OK, we've learned at the very beginning of the movie that she lost her parents in a storm hence her current interest in hurricanes ('Twister' rip off) but to drag those flashbacks throughout the movie was nothing more than sadistic. Nothing new was learned about her as the main character nor was it related to the development of the storyline in any significant way. The scenes would flash from a plane in distress to the calmness of her therapist's office every few minutes, thus breaking the continuity in the story. There are no special effects to alleviate the pain of watching this. As the film progressed it also dived into banality after banality. I think that there should be a fine instituted for script writers, directors, and actors who churn this kind of garbage. say, abstain form making movies for a year?
