Diagonaldi Very well executed

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

dwpollar Storm War (2011) DVD I watched titled "Weather Wars" 1st watched 8/3/2014 – 7 out of 10(Dir-Todor Chapkanov): Exciting and well-written movie about a scientist who's funding is cutoff by the government on a project where the intent was to use weather as an asset channeling it into a weapon for the country. The senator who dropped the funding becomes a target to the elderly scientist years later as he's perfected his research and is using it as revenge. The main evil character is played by Stacy Keach – his two sons and a former assistant try to help the government track him down before he kills a lot of people. Keach's character poses initially as a bum to plant a tracking device on the Senator and then let's lose the energy sources that create the weather anomalies. Keach does a great job in this role and the rest of the cast carry the load well despite the somewhat inconceivable plot. The director, Todor Chapkanov, keeps the story moving with the only flaw being an attempt at throwing in some romance, which in my opinion, was un-necessary. Otherwise the story flows well and keeps your interest to the very end. The Senator's character is sometimes too hardlined and formulaic as far as being the no-holds barred rough guy, but the other characters are believable. The sons are two totally different personalities – one following in his father's footsteps and the other going the other direction – which makes for an interesting collaboration. As the father continues bringing down his haters the group work well together to try and bring him down and stop the ultimate destruction of the city of Washington D.C. This, in my opinion, was an un-expected gem where this genre is usually too over-the-top for anyone to pay attention --- but they make the possibility seem believable making the movie work.

evening1 The only two things I liked in this film were Stacy Keach's craggy face and his utterance of the word "nigh." The premise of this Syfy stinker is inane: Crazy weather scientist gets dissed at Senate hearing and decides to take revenge on the world -- by destroying it.Keach is the only known actor in this film and his recognizability adds a smidgen of interest as he rants between a sandwich board, warning of Armageddon. No one in surrounding D.C. would ever suspect this grizzled hobo of possessing an iPhone -- let alone being able to use it to wreak meteorological mayhem. I watched this with my 10-year-old and when I complained of implausibility, he defended the plot, saying, "He's a scientist!" as if to account for the loon's awesome powers. The outlandish storyline here resolves in a surprisingly humdrum way. (How many previous movie villains have dangled by a hand, then dropped?) In all, this was very, very silly with a few OK weather effects.

llarian-2 I was bought Weather Wars (aka Storm Wars) as a joke gift DVD. In the UK, the DVD cover shows a flooded Capitol Hill with with the Supreme Court building being "attacked" by a twister. Odd, because there's no flood in the movie.The discrepancy becomes bigger when you read the description on the back of the DVD box: "A young scientist revels in the creation of a supercomputer that can stop the effects of climate change and catastrophic weather. When the computer's artificial intelligence advances it creates deadly storms to stop the military from controlling it or shutting it down. It's up to the scientist to outsmart his own creation..." Sounds great, huh? Kind of Day After Tomorrow meets Terminator. Only that description bears no relevance to the plot of the movie. In the film, the young scientist is chasing down his own deranged father, who has somehow learnt to control the weather and is wreaking revenge on the US Government. No super-computer with advanced AI is ever mentioned.In saying that, what they've produced is actually okay. The plot's a bit silly but the performances and SFX are reasonably for what's obviously a low-budget movie.**SPOILER** The end leaves the door open for a sequel. That probably shouldn't happen.

jaybird023 The best thing that can be said about this movie is that they spent money on special effects.Otherwise the screenplay wasn't good, the acting was sub-par, and the storyline just atrocious.I've seen a lot better movies on ScyFy before and this was definitely not one of their better attempts.I recommend you avoid this one unless you want to see a bad television movie.I'd basically give this movie a 0 but that's not available so I'm sticking with 1 star because it's really just that bad.
