I like lightning and storms but this movie bombed in every way. This should probably be rated a 1 but I give it a 2 for effort. Lots of explosions and things burning but soooooo many errors and just stupidity on the characters. Could of been worse but barely. You have three things in this movie, Hysterics, Monotone Emotions and things blowing up that wouldn't happen in reality not to mention the stupidity.
This has a lot of people just standing and or waiting for the something to happen. Lots of inaction or just stupid actions. You have two storms that are converging on a town while the areas around it are getting hit as well yet nobody does anything but a teen that's obsessed with storms and even that is much of nothing but sending a warning by setting of the towns storm sirens when it's too late.
You would of expected this from a movie from the 50's or 60's but for 2001, this bombed in every way. The special effects were lights and explosions when things would melt rather than explode and if this amount of electricity kept hitting the power grid, the relay stations would've blown. This is a 100 year storm that supposedly has the potential to last forever if something isn't done to stop it. That something, blowing up a fuel depot in the hopes of heat breaking the storm.
Not sure who they were trying to reach but this, besides watching things go boom, was grueling to watch. You even had some great actors that had potential but nope, even they bombed. You have the screamers and the rest were so monotone it was boring to watch. Save yourself the time and just watch something, anything else.
