A different way of telling a story

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I was a little put off right at the beginning when the movie jumps right into the story with not even a bit of introduction. That was followed by a story that was entirely unoriginal combined with the fact that to me at least it didn't seem to flow very well. The acting was at best OK; the performances from a little known cast a little too wooden in my opinion. The basic storyline - the earth being threatened by massive lightning storms that somehow threaten the start of a new ice age, with the climatologist Valery (Joana Pacula) being the only person who understands what's happening, but who can't convince anyone in authority of it - had some potential, but was burdened with the introduction of far too many "soap opera" elements. The most obvious of these was the entirely superfluous subplot, which was never well developed anyway, about the return of Valery's sister from prison. The science was also pretty weak. Everything seems to happen in a matter of a few hours, which seemed far too short a time to devise a solution for the storms and then to implement the solution, and then there was the reference to the last ice age having begun "about 2 million years ago." What? As far as I know the last ice age began about 100,000-120,000 years ago and lasted for about 100,000 years. Not a very good movie at all - but I have seen worse. 2/10

Wow. Quite possibly one of the worst movies I have ever watched. As an environmental scientist I shook my head and smirked through most of it, then wondered why I sat through it. Ridiculous science aside - the plot was awful - it had potential, gratuitous destruction of the gas station near the beginning was fun to watch (medicore special effects aside), but this movie really didn't pull it off. The family storyline was completely redundant to the plot of the movie, and the acting was really sub-par.I'm all for weather 'sci-fi' movies if they have an entertaining plot, e.g. "Twister", "Volcano", "Dante's Peak" - all somewhat 'unrealistic' weather-type movies - but all in a plot category somewhere far far above "Heaven's Fury" a.k.a. "Lightning: bolts of destruction".The writers could have done a much better job with this movie. Truly awful in all aspects.

Decent flick. Special Effects were good at times, but sometimes the buildings being struck by lightning looked like my sons' models. Science part is horrible, but movies are for entertainment escape, not educational. Acting was alright, but I felt Nick Mancuso & Pacula could have made their characters better. Could have been better if Pacula's character was casted differently. I usually like her, but I felt she took away from the character. **SPOILER** With the world in peril, I found it strange if not hilarious that there was only one military personnel on the "task" force as well as very little government "thinkers" I guess they put all their budget into the special effects.

Lightning: Bolts of Destruction is a film made for television in special effects wise. The story line is one that you see in most weather movies. It's the dark side of nature at its brightest. The movies links the past with the future and the present on different planets. It's a must see for any weather fan.
