U.N. Owen I'm NOT gonna ruin this for you (it'll do that all on it's own). No, I'm commenting on the fact that I recorded it on my DVR, because it was on the Science Channel, and I thought it was either a 'what if' show, or a show about a hypothetical massive storm hitting somewhere in the U.S.Within...oh...30 seconds, something seemed...'off.' So, I Googled the names of some of the 'scientists' because they didn't 'seem' to be REAL scientists. I was a little shocked to find out SUPERSTORM was NEITHER of what I thought it'd be, but rather a schlocky straight to the discount bin 'movie' MADE in a pseudo-doc style.In summary, since I've been told to 'tone down' my review and what I wanted to say - I'll leave it by just saying this flick - from what I saw, is terrible.

wmhogg I saw this show on the Discovery Science channel. For those familiar with the extremely low-budget graphics, animation, and photography of the Science Channel, this was quite an exceptionally well-done show.They have real actors, high-quality graphics, and a very interesting story-line. I thought it was very entertaining and suspenseful.Tom Sizemore played the government bureaucrat very believably. For those of you familiar with Stargate SG-1, "Martouf" is one of the main characters, "Lance". The tension between the scientists was very compelling as each had their own research and points of view, but their own opinions required constant re-evaluation as the situation changed hourly.Well done science program.

mandyprotakov I stumbled onto this movie by accident. What a mess!! Its only artistic value was that of a train wreck. It was difficult not to watch for a while to see how many ways they could do a bad job.First the photography. I'm sure the filmmakers will wax poetic over using video and bad camera-work to give an impression of "reality". All they did was give an impression of lack of aptitude.Then the acting... Except for Tom Sizemore (and even he wasn't doing such a great job) it was Afternoon at the Amateur Hour (and that's being mean to Amateur Hour!) As for the direction, it consisted at attempts at shaking the camera in lieu of direction.Oh, and the sound was ludicrously bad, as if they had used a Mic from a video-cam (which they probably did).I'm asking you, what's the point of doing a movie like this if you're not going to even try to do it well?

MrTAToad Having seen the last episode, I can say that overall it was a pretty interesting docudrama on weather modification, possible subversion and the moral dilemma's that go with it.It had a companion series that looked into the science behind weather modification and the previous attempts at it, both military and non-military.The main real problem with this mini-series, is the camera work : Quick inserts of actual storms interjected with black and white frames at weird angles, whilst giving a picture of menace, just didn't feel right. Its as though the director wanted to be arty for arts sake. Unfortunately, this sort of thing seems to be catching (eg Hot Fuzz).It can also be slightly slow in a few places - possibly an attempt to pad the episode.The characters all chance over the 3 episodes, from the very unlike-able programmer of software for predicting hurricanes, to one that started to crack up, each one was interesting.There wasn't a particularly happy ending to the series - most of the people in Stormshield die. You also only get to slightly seem the ramifications of an unauthorised modification and the attempt to modify that.
