An unexplained, local split in the atmosphere causes a series of total unpredictable, yet devastating tornadoes. Rookie fireman Brian Flynn gets trapped in the underground sewage with his girlfriend, deputy mayor James 'Jim' Lawrence and climatologist Dr. Cassie Lawrence's niece Lori. Mayor Leonardo of New York initially refuses to pay proper attention to the phenomenon, a 'reelection threat', so the alert status remains too low for long. Atypical lightning discovered inside tornadoes adds unprecedented dangers. The Lawrences and aeronautics renegade Dr. Lars Liggenhorn conceive a possible solution by launching rockets, but NASA's Dr. Quinn overrules them, imposing standard silver iodine.

I love this movie so much

TrueHello

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The film has brief moments of attention grab like the disaster sequences, other than that you start to lose your interest in the film after those parts are done. The movie suffers from a slow pace and a plot that is dull.NYC: Tornado Terror is terrible, I recommend you only watch the film if your expectations are low or if you're watching only for the action.

I'm studying in college to be a Meteorologist,and while some of the movie was a absolute joke, some of it wasn't. The truth is Global Warming has been happening.Global Warming is simple it is the earth warming. Right now we are at a standstill,but in 2012,and 2007 there was a significant amount of ice melted at higher latitudes. As for Tornadoes,and there relation to global warming nothing, or very little is connected to that yet. As for the giant ball of lightning traveling through the building that was hilarious,and stupid. I would rate this movie a 6/10 for a aspiring MeteorologistA 3/10 for a regular(3 because you may laugh through most of it)I don't know which movie has more laughs this,or batman,and robin with Arnold Schwartzanegger,Uma Thurman,Chris O'Donnell,and George Clooney*this is kind of a spoiler.

I like disaster movies. I even like the bad ones. But this - this goes beyond bad into utterly dire.The characters are walking, talking clichés straight out of better disasters movies. Every single plot point is signposted ages before it arrives, and every situation is utterly predictable.The writing and directing between them manage to suck all tension and excitement out of the story. The writing is obvious - and dull - and there is no build-up of tension at all. This is quite a talent. This writer has made a tornado hitting New York mind-numbingly dull. And the direction is of the 'point, shoot, move on to the next shot' variety.As for the effects - c'mon guys, you've been doing special effects for nearly 100 years now - you can do better than this! Don't watch this. ever. It's two hours of your life you'll never get back and you'll regret it.

So the special effects weren't special -- well, the lightening and St. Elmo's fire were pretty good. And why send up an F-117 Nighthawk as a cloud seeder? Why not, it's a movie. Hey, they coulda used an SR-71 Blackbird. That is the best looking aircraft ever. Could something that looks like a mini-MLRS reach 65K ft? Well, maybe. Is the science legit? Just as legit as global warming. If you think this was bad science, be sure you miss "Meteor Storm." The acting, particularly from the principles was unexceptional, but quite reasonable for the genre. I recognized Sebastian Spence, but I absolutely missed Nicole de Boer as Dax from "Deep Space Nine." She was, once, a hottie.Plot, well there has been a lot worse. I was a little surprised that the eminent meteorologist didn't recognize a dust devil when she saw one. Girl's gotta get out of the city more. Actually, for this kind of flick it was amazingly cliché free. I mean, nobody got stuck in the elevator (again, don't see "Meteor Storm" if you don't like disaster flick clichés -- it is rife with them). I got a little bored with the kids wandering around in the tunnel -- do they really have those on Liberty Island? But the potential boyfriend got fried. I mean, those two did not have a happy ending. How outré is that?
