I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This movie is absolutely terrible. The acting is stiff and bad, the GCI is crappy and the overall plot is cancerous. It all feels like it was made by a 10 years old.

Another in an endless stream of cheap disaster movies filled with washed-up leading actors, nobody supporting actors, and lousy CGI. This one's got Casper Van Dien in it - no stranger to the genre having also appeared in 500 MPH STORM, which is pretty much interchangeable with this movie. The story is about a private company who devise a new and deadly form of fuel, which then gets caught up in a twister and refuses to be extinguished.As with so many of these films, almost the entire running time consists of a central family who find themselves caught up in an almost sentient disaster which then proceeds to chase them all over the country. Shots of the fire twister chasing a jeep must take up at least half of the running time. The acting is wooden, the characters are made of cardboard, and the movie exudes cheapness from every poor. I love the over the top nature of the evil company which sends a machine-gun toting hit squad after any witnesses to this man-made catastrophe; totally over the top and cheesy with it. The only positive I can find to say about FIRE TWISTER is that the CGI effects aren't quite as terrible as is the norm for this genre.

First off, I normally don't post reviews, but this film compelled me to.It's a Saturday morning, and I ended up watching this TV movie. Please save your self 90 mins (because you'll never get them back) and don't watch this. From the poor CGI, cardboard acting and terrible story line this film watches like a turd covered in puke, gently heated would smell like...absolutely terrible!The flaming twister is some shots is no wider than a street so all it needs is a hose down from a fire engine and it would be out....but noooooo, not in this film.

First of all the synopsis is wrong. In the synopsis it spoke of a mysterious orb, an oil rig on the ocean, and had an air of supernatural terror to it. The film never even touched on the ocean, it wasn't on a rig and it did not have much to do with oil. In fact the film started out with five friends placing an anti oil banner on what they thought was an oil drum. They find a bomb that nearly kills them which starts the fire twister. It wasn't oil, it was a super fuel that would replace oil, cleaner, longer lasting, and synthetically made. Again no mysterious orb. The five dupes, um friends, five friends, must join forces with the creator of this super fuel and find a way to destroy the fire twisters. It makes me think that the dupes, um friends, never watched that John Wayne movie about fire fighting oilmen, a very large explosion to kill the fueled fire, it took them nearly the entire movie to think what a firefighter would have determined before it hit a populated area. That is to say nothing about the attempt at bravado showing for the bad guys mercenaries (made me think of someone with down syndrome trying to act like what they saw on TV, funny to some degree but not to be taken seriously).
