llarian-2 I was bought Weather Wars (aka Storm Wars) as a joke gift DVD. In the UK, the DVD cover shows a flooded Capitol Hill with with the Supreme Court building being "attacked" by a twister. Odd, because there's no flood in the movie.The discrepancy becomes bigger when you read the description on the back of the DVD box: "A young scientist revels in the creation of a supercomputer that can stop the effects of climate change and catastrophic weather. When the computer's artificial intelligence advances it creates deadly storms to stop the military from controlling it or shutting it down. It's up to the scientist to outsmart his own creation..." Sounds great, huh? Kind of Day After Tomorrow meets Terminator. Only that description bears no relevance to the plot of the movie. In the film, the young scientist is chasing down his own deranged father, who has somehow learnt to control the weather and is wreaking revenge on the US Government. No super-computer with advanced AI is ever mentioned.In saying that, what they've produced is actually okay. The plot's a bit silly but the performances and SFX are reasonably for what's obviously a low-budget movie.**SPOILER** The end leaves the door open for a sequel. That probably shouldn't happen.

TheLittleSongbird Okay, Storm War( aka Weather Wars) is not a good film, but I didn't think it was a terrible film either, better if not by much than the usual standards of SyFy movies. I did think the special effects and acting are a little above average, especially compared to the shoddy effects and non-existent acting plaguing other Syfy movies, and the photography was decent. However there a lot wrong with it, and it is a lot of the usual problems, cheesy dialogue, editing that can be all over the map, stereotypical and bland characters, a structurally thin and implausible(especially the main idea) story and a predictable ending. In conclusion, not terrible, not good, if anything I got a very lukewarm experience out of it. 4/10 Bethany Cox

filmblogger82 I really enjoyed the movie. However, there were moments that I felt like I was watching a movie on Hallmark or Lifetime. My wife enjoyed the relationships between the brothers and Samantha love triangle and the father reuniting with his son at the end of the movie. When my wife is enjoying a movie, it normally means that she and her girlfriends are huddled up around the TV watching a chick flick. I twisted her arm to watch it with me and she gave it a 9 and I gave it a 5, so the average is 7 which is what I rate this movie. I thought that Stacey Keach did a great job as well as Jason London, Erin Cahill, and Wes Brown (who I had never heard of before, but he is working on a lot of current TV series based on IMDb resume). So, if you are looking for a real movie, Storm War is a good choice! But, if you want another campy SyFy movie with horrible effects, poor lighting, and laughable acting...then you shouldn't watch this movie! Storm War was in no way perfect. The senator was a really bad actor...he didn't even know what he was saying sometimes. Long time television actor Gary Grubbs even looked like he was off his game. The main characters are all solid, but the supporting cast were average at best. The visual effects were actually really really good and way better than I expected from a SyFy movie. So, there are lots of things that I liked about this movie and some that I didn't like...but overall it is worth the watch!

jaybird023 The best thing that can be said about this movie is that they spent money on special effects.Otherwise the screenplay wasn't good, the acting was sub-par, and the storyline just atrocious.I've seen a lot better movies on ScyFy before and this was definitely not one of their better attempts.I recommend you avoid this one unless you want to see a bad television movie.I'd basically give this movie a 0 but that's not available so I'm sticking with 1 star because it's really just that bad.
