Fantastic!
Best movie ever!
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
May contain plot spoilers.Judd Walker is a widowed misogynistic farmer pestered my alien tornadoes. We never get to see the aliens because they are made of energy and are causing tornadoes because...???.. maybe we beamed "Gilligan's Island" into space? Judd meets up with a cleavage storm chaser (Kari Wuhrer) to prove to the world even the most disgusting man can land a babe if they save the world together. Her name is.....wait for it....Gale.Judd has a daughter Kelly (Stacey Asaro) who is under the impression that the only way she can get accepted into the University of Malaysia is to study hard and save the world from green funnel tornadoes.Of course aliens attacking Chicago is not enough action for any film shown on SyFy, there must also be MIBs who hamper us from saving us.This is standard low quality SyFy fare, Asylum grade entertainment.No f-bombs, sex, or nudity on TV version. Kids should like it.
You thought sharks into tornadoes was crazy, wait until you see this. Under the name of Tornado Warning (not to be confused with the 2002 film) on the original DVD packaging and in a re-release under the name of Alien Storm (why it was re-released in the first place beats me) this film delivers cheesy fun that has a good mix of drama, comedy, and suspense about aliens taking the form of tornadoes and the attempts by the government and main characters to stop them.The tornadoes destroying Chicago reminded me of Category 6: Day of Destruction, whether it was coincidence or not I found it to be nice.I had some difficulty finding a region 1 DVD, when I bought it and watched the film again to refresh my memory since it's been over a year since I've seen it I felt like I got my moneys worth.
Jeff Fahey is the only reason to watch this movie. In fact, most of the movies Jeff Fahey leads or costars in are like that. Oh, wait a minute. I just thought of another reason to watch this movie.Imagine your great Aunt Mildred sitting on her sofa in front of the TV with her friends Gladys and Harriet. They are sipping some tea which they spiked with a bit of whiskey and are giggling while nibbling on their sugar cookies. They are watching this movie and appropriately gasping when the tornadoes appear or when someone gets sucked up by a tornado (a comical vision which offers no real fright) or when the bad guy puts on his rough act with the good guy (serious overacting here by nearly everyone in the movie but for Jeff Fahey and the lady who played his daughter, Stacey Asaro). Great Aunt Mildred leans forward and shouts at the TV, "Aw, shut up ya big bully!" Friends Harriet and Gladys loudly agree between giggles and sips of tea.If you want a B movie which has some good stuff with a few laughable things in it, this isn't it. There is no good stuff. But there's lots of laughable things in it. Watch it with Great Aunt Mildred. It will make her happy. Seriously. She deserves quality time with you.
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.
