Marc Mitchell This is possible the very WORST film I have ever seen!I must confess that I only caught the last 40 minutes of this appallingly dreadful excuse for a SciFi movie. Indeed, I find it astonishing that this film was actually made in 2008; I REALLY didn't think that this kind of unforgivable garbage was still being made. The only reason I continued to watch it until the blissful end was because EVERY scene was hilarious as it just kept getting worse and worse. A bit like one of those songs you absolutely HATE but can't help turning up the radio when you hear it playing again.The acting was amateurish, at best. The science was inexcusably non-existent The plot was predictable and quite clearly a figment of the imagination of someone with absolutely no idea what he/she is talking about The budget for the whole movie must have been infinitesimal The sets were laughable!Two atomic bombs are needed so they just pop along to their local atom bomb storage hut and TWO blokes lift one onto a truck! The same diesel truck that can later be started by swapping out the battery from a small petrol car. Changed, I might add, in about 30 seconds. The alternator, too, was changed in the same time and just happens to fit an enormous 10-ton truck! So what about the starter motor?The wife is driving out in the country and brings the car to a stop and a man holding a gun walks up to the car from nowhere - who only becomes visible when he sticks his hand in the window. So an EMP causes blindness, too?After he and the car get fried, a teenage miracle worker decides that he can resurrect this useless automobile.An EMP is supposed to neutralise all circuitry in its path, right? So how was this boy able to connect a few wires to something or other inside the engine bay of a petrol car and have the same phenomenon charge the battery from a metal rod stuck with gaffer tape to the body of the car? And what about this same dipstick's comment "You don't need a battery to run a car". So where do the HT sparks come from for the plugs?This seems like one of those American movies where they start with an actor/actress for whom they want to find a film - ANY film - so the studio recruits some talentless wannabe scriptwriter to cobble together a pile of rubbish that they all believe the American public will stomach and then try to make money out of it while perpetrating a fraud on their poor, unsuspecting audience.I could go on and on and on and on with this moronic catalogue of idiotic nonsense but what makes the whole thing unforgivable is the assumption that everyone watching this cr&p is stupid.I'm sure that there are some people who would have found this entertaining, for one reason or another, but I feel that the vast majority of people would find this litany of incompetence and hubris an insult to their intelligence.

Trombonehead As a Canadian, I can only say I am embarrassed and saddened that my country makes such total 100% garbage as this pathetic movie. One would think that after many years of major productions, we could come up with cinema that stands up with the rest of the world. But it's pretty obvious that our film business is a total joke. The sight of Vancouver's perennial DJ and Man-About-Town Terry David Mulligan dressed up as a General, is so utterly hilarious and totally absurd that it defies description. Everything about this movie STINKS. Story, acting, directing, special effects----you name it, on every level it's got to be one of the most God-awful pieces of junk ever.

wfergie It was fun watching this movie, as it shows how good, really good movies are difficult to make. In a world that surrounds itself with electronics, movie goers have become familiar with how all things electrical work. It's not good enough to come up with some bad science, illogical concepts or half hearted graphics to satisfy a savvy audience. If the Director can't afford good graphics, get good actors, can't afford good actors, write great dialogue, no great writing, choose beautiful scenery..... but don't combine the least of everything and expect to have a memorable product. Polar Storm is the perfect storm of all the worst that B movies possess. Now that I've unloaded on this half-hearted attempt at a Sci-Fi video romp, It has some redeeming features. Canadians watching this will recognize places they know, we get to see some newbies put in front of a camera and watch earth take a licking and keep on ticking. The best line , and perhaps the funniest ....when sonny shouts to Stepmom hanging on for dear life over a bottomless crevice...." Don't let go!" If you like to see what not to do as a Director, this is the movie for you.

dbborroughs The magnetic polars are disturbed and realigned with the result that there is much death and destruction as mankind tries to solve the problem.Not particularly good science fiction film might have worked had their been more money and some better people before and behind the camera. The first problem with the film is that the special effects aren't special. I'm all for the suspension of disbelief but there is a point where it becomes much too hard to disbelieve. Almost every effect in the film is computer generated and since there are so many I don't think the effects crew had any amount of time to do them properly. One or twice or now and again you might have been able to forgive it but the scenes of epic destruction is just asking too much. On the plus side its so bad it distracts you from the uneven performances and the plot holes you could drive a comet through.Clearly I'm at the negative polar on this film and think you should pass.
