I am an avid fan of all sci-fi including the old 50's stuff but this was so, so bad it was embarrassing. I was only trying to kill a bit of time before the wife picked me up but nearly ended up killing myself. I must admit I do watch even the worst films to the end, but started daydreaming about how I was going to fix that loose piece of wallpaper behind the TV and missed the end. Poor acting/story to say the least and Baldwins was the worst I have ever seen....poor dialogue...vacant {I was going to say thoughtful!} stares into nowhere. The best line that had me in tears was to the captain "They sent in an assault team sir". I only saw two men attack the fully guarded base! {Think A team} Fairplay Baldwins professor colleague helped pull his acting performance up...shame because he has done a couple of good films. 3 out of 10 due to the not so bad special effects for a TV movie. If your going to watch it, think of your worst enemy then go and make friends with him....you will get a lot more satisfaction!

In an effort to use dark matter as a weapon a storm of dark matter is created threatening civilization and so on. (You know the drill now fill in the blanks) Okay SCFI channel original style film is silly but it plods along at its own clip and remains watchable through out. Give the cast points for trying to sell the utter nonsense of the plot. This is not something I'd search out but if nothing else were on... but frankly there are worse things to be watching on a rainy Saturday afternoon, I know having seen a great many of them.5ish out of 10.

I had to stay up with my young son last night and thought Dark Storm looked vaguely interesting compared to the other pap on offer. No. It was the aura of car crash TV that kept me watching. A fat Stephen Baldwin acting worse than my armchair does. My word, I've never seen anyone so bad in a film. His scientist sidekick and the villain at least were professional and I could believe they were actors, but Mr. Baldwin gave the standout worst "acting performance" I have ever had the misfortune of sitting in front of. Whatever you do, do not waste an hour or two of your precious life on this utter shower of *&^%. Spend the time more fruitfully in staring at a blank wall, or cutting your toenails.

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...
