gregorybundy I can't believe "The Asylum" is still in business. Evidently they make several of these horrible movies per year and spend about $100,000 per movie and boy can you tell it!!! Every actor or actress that is featured in one of their movies is either a washed up has been OR is on the verge out of the movie limelight; Tera Reid, Ian Ziering, Monica Keena just to name very few. If any actor or actress wants to commit Hollywood suicide, do a movie made by "The Asylum". I can't believe critics gave high ratings for Sharknado and Sharknado 2. There aren't enough sharks on the planet for either one of those movies to be anywhere near realistic!!!! I mean......I'm flying 41,000 feet in the air in a 747, and I look out the window and I see a couple of sharks floundering around on the aircrafts wing??? Even if a movie is cheesy it still has to have some believability to it and 99.9% of "The Asylum" movies are just plain idiotic, unrealistic and dumb. I guarantee CGI effects and the story lines were done by second graders on an Apple LisaBottom line; if you start to watch a movie and the beginning credits say "The Asylum" either turn it off or go watch grass grow because either choice will be more entertaining!!! "The Asylum" doesn't care anything about movie making as an art form, they just want to make as much random garbage flicks as possible and hopes the unsuspecting public will pay a decent amount of cash to watch them.
pegusus27 So bad, so awful that you just can't look away. I'm sure there are similar films out there but I haven't seen one this bad for many a year. My family kept asking me why I was watching and all I could think was it is was like watching a train crash. You know its awful but just can't look away. So do yourself a favor. Rent, download, catch it on the box. You just need to see how it is possible that something so poorly acted, directed, edited, filmed, produced and released can ever make it onto our screen. Seriously this could have been made by an 8 year old for a school assignment. If you want a positive out of this movie the time you take to watch it will provide a talking point, and a reference point for zero out of 5 stars!
Aspya I watched this movie because I like Ming-Na Wen. I've seen her in several TV shows where she did well. That's it, that's the end of what is good about this movie. I'm about to go and blow torch my retinas for watching this movie. It starts out awful but gets worse. Most of the cast would look bad in a village hall production so how they made it onto a film set is anyone's guess. Maybe they just opened up the studio hung a sign that said "free doughnuts" and cast whoever walked in?I need 10 lines of text for this to be a review so I will have to say more. That's more thought than I wanted to waste on this movie. The physical acting is laughable, people swaying the opposite way to the camera ruining the "we're being shaken about" effect and then magically not being effected by physics as soon as they have a line to say. The pauses and facial expression that are supposed to convey something about what's being said are so bad and mistimed I would swear these people are aliens doing their best "honest we are humans" impressions. I think Nicholas Turturro and Mitch Lerner must have had a side bet going on who can make their part the most ridiculously bad without getting fired.
TheLittleSongbird I was curious and had little else to do, so I tuned in to Super Cyclone, not expecting much but at least some watchability. In evaluation there is nothing really watchable about Super Cyclone. If there are two things at all that sank Super Cyclone the most, I have to most definitely agree with that it was the special effects and the acting. Okay I knew the special effects were not going to be great, they rarely are in low-budget movies, but you do expect to see some kind of effort. These efforts actually look as though they weren't even trying, everything looked cheap and unfinished and even when against the choppy editing and dully lit settings they looked incredibly fake. If you are looking for the worst representation of rain in any movie, look no further than Super Cyclone. And no I'm not kidding. The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen, I have to agree that to call the acting terrible is an insult to the word terrible. The only person to actually looks as though they are trying is Ming-Na, and she's only okay here.The story is another major disadvantage in Super Cyclone. No surprises, no suspense, no thrills, no sense of fun are to be found in the entire movie, considering that these are what makes a good disaster movie to say that this was a major problem is being too generous. There are far too many frustratingly stupid or insultingly unrealistic moments, it is paced in a pedantic fashion, the disaster scenes are so lifelessly done and predictable and the emotional moments are very forced, giving you little more than a who cares? vibe. The characters are stereotypical(all the disaster movie clichés and done terribly), are too bland in development to be remotely relateable to any audience and are made to do obnoxious things that not only makes you hate the character but also makes the scene further unbelievable until it was so hard to stomach. Then there is the dialogue which reeks of cheese and awkwardness, flat direction and very generic music. In conclusion, the only thing that is a disaster is the movie itself. 0/10 Bethany Cox
