3.0 out of 5 stars Standard Made-For-TV Science Fiction Flick, February 14, 2010

This review is from: Ice Twisters (DVD)

This SyFy Channel original film is neither outstanding nor awful; it's about what you'd expect for a movie made for television.

Since Amazon doesn't offer a synopsis, here's the rundown: The Federal Science Foundation has developed a means for creating storms, only their first major experiment goes wrong; the result are tornados that freeze everything in their path. Enter Charlie Price (played by Mark Moses of Mad Men and Desperate Housewives), a former scientist turned fiction writer, whose novels generally involve weather disasters. Price finds himself pitting his scientific and writing knowledge against an impending weather nightmare that threatens nearby cities.

The good news is that the majority of the cast are heavily experienced in television, so the acting is decent compared to most straight to video movies. Charlie Price's dry humor keeps the dialogue moving, though not especially interesting. The movie also deals with a competitive dynamic between Price and a younger scientist, though a subplot introduced between them is never returned to by the film's end.

While the movie's concept is somewhat original, the film overall is average in every respect. If you're a fan of science fiction movies, this would make for an adequate rental on a slow afternoon. I can't see anyone actually buying the DVD, though, unless they're a big fan of Mark Moses.

4.0 out of 5 stars above average B film, April 2, 2010

This review is from: Ice Twisters (DVD)

as a devotee of 50s sci-fi, this reviewer has rather a soft spot for B or made for TV films especially in the science fiction genre. It always occurs to me that the director, actors and crew are probably grateful for the opportunity and very often their hard work, within the constraints of a tight budget and schedule, are very much in evidence. Admittedly in this movie liberties are taken with science and some of the actors' reactions (to 'cgi shot to be inserted here' scenes) are a little underplayed but on the whole this is a good, tight 'renegade weather' movie that held my attention from the first to the last minute. A poor relation to 2012 it may be but it proves a huge budget is not required to produce an entertaining sci-fi film and in a comparison of dialogue and character rendition with 2012 for me Ice Twisters wins hands down.

An other movie that show what can happen when man tinkers with the weather, they may think they are helping but if it goes wrong this movie shows what can happen. I don't say this could happen but a possablety good special afects and story .
