StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

andrew jones This slop doesn't deserve a long review,so here it goes.Bored one night, nothing good on TV saw this....you know how it goes on.Here we a have fat Stephen Baldwin putting in zero effort. I've seldom seen a more lethargic performance from any actor. It really is worth watching just to see an "actor" get away with doing so little.The story could of been of slight interest in some ways, but then so could taking the lid of a tin of paint and watching it go hard.Any tiny good points or sci- fi elements are totally ruined by Baldwins asmatic,lazy and stilted acting. Awful

Michael O'Keefe Sci-Fi Original written and directed by Jason Bourque. Don't take over-seriously, but enjoy some decent special effects. A group of scientists on a top secret military base make a discovery that may even be bigger than the Atomic bomb. Code name Eruptor, a device that supercharges matter and changes its molecular structure of its target. The project malfunctions and a top notch scientist Daniel Gray(Stephen Baldwin)is personally effected by 'Dark Matter'...infected is more like it; and it allows him to at will change weather and surrounding atmosphere. This project also has the ability in the wrong hands threaten the entire world. Is Armageddon far away? Maybe guaranteed boredom. Baldwin shows effort, but just not enough to change this stinker. The cast also includes: Carrie Genzel, Gardiner Millar, Camille Sullivan and William B. Davis.

bluejayfusion While I'm not sure what constitutes a spoiler, I can tell you that 'Dark Storm' constitutes a really bad "Sci-fi original" mini-movie. Stephen Baldwin looks and acts terribly- as a protagonist, it is quite difficult to relate to him at all as his performance is beyond flat. The special effects are better than most made-for-TV movies but do little to capture the imagination. There are bad guy minions in this movie that look like ninjas and a fair amount of scenes in which the character's voice inflection is completely inappropriate, not to mention the fact that instead of at least attempting to fake scientific jargon, lots of questions are answered with, "I can't tell you that, it's classified," or "it's so complicated, you wouldn't understand." Try me...

John Esche It doesn't get much sillier than this for the serious sci-fi buff, but as low-expectation, old fashioned "Saturday afternoon matinée" diversion, it's entertaining enough.A slightly overweight Stephen Baldwin, in a follow-up to an even sillier 2006 sci-fi opus, "Earth Storm" about using bombs to put a crumbling moon back together, invents a weapon using "dark matter" (apparently a more photogenic, controllable version of anti-matter) and generatable thunderstorms. Naturally, things go awry, foolish military men make stupid, ill-considered snap judgements causing even greater problems, traitors steal the weapon and (reaching the heights of "Marvel Comic silliness") Baldwin absorbs some of the "dark matter", making himself a self-generating (but only defensive for some reason - until the villain does it) weapon! The big screen Spiderman films made as much scientific sense (why can't screenwriters give us entertainment with stories JUST as exciting that gets the science right and doesn't insult our intelligence!?) but had more consistent characters and motivations.If you can ignore the basically incredible weapon which is the McGuffin which gets the plot rolling, the piece is fun on its own terms - no worse than Disney's 1979 "Black Hole" (which famously made its title dark star a glowing whirlpool). The Disney had firmer scientific underpinnings but worse acting and special effects, so it's sort of a fair trade off.The always engaging Rob LaBelle makes a fine scientific sidekick (who actually does most of the work - not to mention acting), and Gardiner Millar as the chief villain is solid - even when the special effects have him reenacting the last scenes of the first Indiana Jones film.Undemanding fun, but keep your expectations low.
