This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Sorry, this movie sucks

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This is SO formulaic... nasty happenings, big storm ... there's the smart woman with the stressed face, the bad guy who snarls all the time and reaches for his gun, the smart-arse kids ... Oh come on, you guys, think up some other scenario PLEASE!Mind you, of course, it's standard day-time telly and that's when I'm watching it so .... my fault, I guess!

This is a low budget Sci-Fi flick that surprises, the movie stands out due to its stunt work and special effects that are more polished than expected.The plot goes as follows, when an unidentified object is shot down by the military and crashes into Puget Sound, it sets off a series of strange weather phenomena: tornadoes and lightning storms that are spreading. A scientist (Esai Morales) and his fiancée (Ona Grauer) has to work together, find answers, and stop the storm before it becomes global.The movie has moments worth looking into, one example is where a tornado demolishes the Space Needle which should remind you of the beginning of 10.5 if you've seen it, another example is how the scientifically engineered organism that lands in Seattle can cause a runaway greenhouse effect and ultimately a global storm.There's nothing too special here, just some good old fashion fun, the film is watchable, I'll say that.

Someone bored and with gullible imagination will spill cold drink in the popcorn and lack jawed enjoy seeing the city of Seattle try to scurry to safety. Well, it came from the sky. An unidentified object is tracked over the state of Washington and lands in Puget Sound. A dark, murky cloud spreads in the water and soon wetsuits rise to the surface without human life to be found. The Seattle sky starts turning black as officials inspect the watery debris. Lt. Commander Emma Peterson(Ona Grauer)is assigned to try to identify the mysterious threat and arrange security for the city. Her fiancé, scientist Tom Reynolds(Esai Morales), is unable to sit still and ignore what is going on, so he sends their two teens(Jared Abrahamson and Mackenzie Porter) home, unknowingly putting them right in the path of the developing superstorm. The city is in chaos and somehow we are to believe this family will figure out together how to stop this drastic calamity before it grows into something that could actually cause world alarm. We see almost 200 scenes of the Space Needle, Seattle's iconic identify and computer generated destruction to the city. The movie is not even filmed in Seattle, but Vancouver. Acting is more like going through the motions and its a shame the talents of Morales and Grauer go wasted. Also in the cast: Michelle Harrison, Jay Brazeau and Martin Cummins.

As I've said many times before, I have made no secret of disliking a vast majority of SyFy's output. A couple are tolerable without ever being great, but a lot of them are either lame or bottom-of-the-barrel. As bad as they are, there's something about their awfulness that not only is compulsive but at times can amuse me. From reading the premise, which is the sort of nothing-new, silly sort of premise, I wasn't expecting much, but Seattle Superstorm actually was worse than I expected. It, even for a low budget TV movie, is a poorly made movie, with editing so slapdash it made my head hurt and special effects that are among the most cheap-looking and cheesily used of any effects in a SyFy movie since Titanic II. The dialogue is incredibly insipid, especially about when they are talking about who is going into the tank to release the water, and the story is dull and predictable with the positioning of the manual valve in a position where anybody about to open it would die was beyond stupid. I got a good laugh with the lightning obliteration scene, but that was it. The characters are among SyFy's most irritating and stereotypical, and the acting is very poor, Esai Morales is okay, but everybody else is just bad especially the 16 year old girl who not just once but twice comes up with a save the world solution and the grandfather who acts like he is in a different film altogether.All in all, SyFy have done worse than Seattle Superstorm, but it is still a train wreck. 1/10 Bethany Cox
