How actors can go with errors and lies in script is beyond me, hundreds of thousands & millions of years what rubbish, the earth time and time again even by some of the top scientists on the planet, has disproved this and proved the earth as God says is only about 6000 years old not millions, it is called the theory of evolution not the fact of evolution. Evolution is controlled by a cult who force it into schools, they are called (Smithsonian) these people hate god and want you to believe your not created by an almighty being but a bacteria, an animal who has no use or importance what so ever, if we are millions of years old how come 100 years ago we had nothing, it just in past 100 years or so we progressed with inventions etc, there are flood legends in over 250 cultures globally telling of the flood of Noah (NOT RUSSEL CROWS NOAH, HE WAS PURE EVIL AND THE FILM WAS A COMPLETE LIE) NOAH WAS A JUST MAN A KIND AND GODLY MAN, NOT THE MAN Hollywood MADE HIM and absolute proof it happened, evolution is taught and brainwash people with lies and false evidence, science definition 1 test, 2 observe 3 conclude, not 1 make up, 2 do not test and do not observe 3 believe in fairy tails, look at drdino.com or go to noahthemovie.com and wayofthemaster.com watch the videos and evidence about earth, the flood universe etc, if we are millions of years old why the earth still magnetised, magnets do not last millions of years, teaching evolution is what made Hitler the man he was, he was brainwashed by Darwin, who did not invent evolution Darwin was brain washed by the guy who made up evolution, big thumbs down on this film

This is one of those movies that is so bad it's good. Some writer somewhere heard the term "positive lightning" and decided to create a whole script around it. A great drinking game would be to take a chug every time someone says, "Positive lightning." I especially enjoyed when lighting would follow a pole or wire slowly enough that people could react and jump out of the way. Or better yet, slowly enough that someone could outrun the lightning and push someone else out of the way. The science in this movie is so awful I really would not know where to start. I did not catch much of the human drama, because I was laughing too hard at the cheesy special effects and mangled physics. (Someone really needs to tell these scientists what a Faraday cage is.)

As drama, Lightning: Bolts of Destruction wasn't too bad. It was a typical low budget TV disaster movie: fun to watch with lots of lightning fx. The story was ok and the acting was fairly good.The science however:*******************MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW**************************Give me a break, please. Sun spots cause a giant super cell thunderstorm with positive lightning - more powerful than regular lightning - to form all over the world and combine into one huge storm. This will cause the jet stream to dip down to earth and cause an immediate ice age which, along with the lightning, will destroy civilization and most of humanity?????????!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is stopped by an giant EM pulse put out by a R&D power station at the magnetic north pole that reverses the earth's polarity????????????!!!!!! I may be a lit major who specialized in pre-modern British poetry - but even I see all the holes as big as the Grand Canyon in this scenario. Credulity is lying on the floor whimpering in pain. 5/10 - mostly for the pretty lightning effects and decent acting.

Interesting concept, tho a lot of time was wasted on the usual academic in-fighting and the sub-plot of Pacula raising her sister's son was not really necessary to the plot and, in my opinion, distractd from it.
