Despite it looking the contrary, I don't take pride in criticising the majority of the SyFy channel's movies. Not all of them are bad actually, but even the best ones have flaws to them. While Tornado Terror is nowhere near SyFy's worst, it is down there among their many terrible movies. I have seen worse editing, but that is saying very little as it is very hackneyed here, and the lighting is dull even for a disaster movie. The special effects are also really awful, crude and very fake-looking and further suffer from heavy over-use. The script is unbearably corny, where I could have been biting my nails or admiring an intelligent line I was laughing unintentionally at the cheesiness at some of the one-liners. The story suffers from being very sluggishly paced and predictable in structure. This and how the effects are used throughout are the reasons why Tornado Terror feels so diluted on the suspense factor. The characters are irritating and not much is done to develop them, while the direction is sloppy and the acting leaves an impression that the actors had forgotten their acting lessons, if even that. On the whole, just terrible with no redeeming values. 1/10 Bethany Cox

So I'm usually up for watching a good action flick. But this one just kills. Literally if the acting wasn't bad enough the burning of my eyes from the crappy special effects should be a good idea how bad this movie was. I know that I am never going to get back that 3 hours of my life. The red spot when you saw it as one person commented really did remind me of something you would see on Star trek the original series. I would not be recommending this movie to anyone. Yet another Canadian movie that for some reason they can't have it happen in a Canadian city always has to be the good old USA that has to save the day give me a break. No offense meant.

Once again, we get a movie made by Canadian filmmakers that doesn't take place in Canada but instead the United States. Actually, given that distinctly Canadian movies tend to be boring arty stuff, I don't blame these filmmakers for trying to pass this off as an American movie. Anyway, I guess I found a few positive things in this movie. The general production values look decent - plenty of extras in the backgrounds, well-lit scenes, and looking like some decent money was spent at some point. Plus, it's hard to totally knock a movie that has the guts to not only kill kids, but dogs as well. But that's about all I found positive about this movie. Most of the computer generated effects look TERRIBLE, for one thing. The script is filled with familiar stuff like a stubborn mayor who won't listen to those who know the real danger. And calling this movie "Tornado Terror" is odd, seeing that the tornadoes only appear at the beginning and just before the end, leaving a long, dull, middle section. Move along, folks, there's nothing here you haven't seen before (and better.)

Well... seems this came out during the time that the major networks were having their "green" week... They release a movie that blames global warming for tornadoes that attack NYC...Global warming is a myth that rich people created to try and make the poorer/dumber people to believe in so they would not use as much natural resources... Pure garbage...Anyway... this movie is a result of the global warming hysteria crowd that tries to spread their lies...PS - This movie was terrible and pathetic... Why watch a movie that is the same thing as MSNBC?
