If I could give this movie a minus score, that would be generous. This is an awful movie. Terrible plot, terrible acting, terrible writing and terrible graphics. It tries to be "Twister", but fails, miserably. And what is with Darryl Hannah's face? She has had so much plastic surgery or something, she doesn't even resemble the Darryl we all know and dislike. Maybe that's her goal, I don't know, but watching her was PAINFUL! The whole movie is painful to watch. I think it was also trying to be a "global warming" warning, but they even screwed that up. As they said themselves in the movie, "the ice age eventually melted, and man wasn't even around then". Exactly. Global warming my aunt Fanny. This was just a terrible terrible mess of a movie. I am mad at myself for losing two hours to this horrible movie.

The only thing that stinks worse than this movie is roadkill or the contrived and debunked science of global warming that they spout during the movie. The global warming is of course the cause of the hurricanes. The acting is OK i guess, But only OK. The rest of it is pure Bull.... well, I won't say it.I do not like shows that keep jumping from one time to another. this one is terrible in this regard. It almost makes the move unwatchable.I have always been a Daryl Hannah fan but I think she should have saved all of us the agony of seeing her in her faded glory and just stayed retired in her "carbon neutral" home. It figures tho, these Hollywood types always have to jump on the bandwagon if there is a new environmental cause.Don't waste your time with this tripe. I wouldn't feed it to my dog

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen; from a horrendously written story line (borrows from 'Twister' a lot) to inane dialogs and substandard acting. The second half of the movie I fast forwarded a lot because I could no longer watch Darryl Hannah's therapy flashbacks. OK, we've learned at the very beginning of the movie that she lost her parents in a storm hence her current interest in hurricanes ('Twister' rip off) but to drag those flashbacks throughout the movie was nothing more than sadistic. Nothing new was learned about her as the main character nor was it related to the development of the storyline in any significant way. The scenes would flash from a plane in distress to the calmness of her therapist's office every few minutes, thus breaking the continuity in the story. There are no special effects to alleviate the pain of watching this. As the film progressed it also dived into banality after banality. I think that there should be a fine instituted for script writers, directors, and actors who churn this kind of garbage. say, abstain form making movies for a year?

Darryl Hannah does her best as a tortured meteorologist whose tragic past leads to her to risk her life tracking hurricanes, but the plot is slow to start and bad but not even so bad it's laughable.Most of the action takes place on board the plane so badly made it falls to pieces doing the job it is supposed to be suitable for, while on the ground the director of the National Storm Center refuses to heed her warnings (for a director of such a facility he seems unable to understand the significance of the data he's sent her to collect and unwilling to listen to anyone else's analysis of it).Single dad Dylan Neal is the reporter Hannah hates at first sight, so naturally they're an item by the close of the movie. The other crew get brief back-stories (divorced, baby on the way) except the only non- Caucasian character who isn't deemed important enough to worry over. Guess which one survives? (the baby trump card plays yet again)Worst of all, the movie ends as the hurricane hits landfall, so this a movie about a hurricane that doesn't in fact feature a hurricane. I wasn't expecting Oscar material but I was expecting an average storyline well told. Disappointing.Check out "Medusa's Child" for a really claustrophobic on-board thriller, or "Locusts" for a Neal movie that's average but at least is silly fun.
