Description and/or Review: 

Includes bonus movie "Storm Cell" 92 minutes. MEMBER REVIEW: A cheesy B-movie combo of TWISTER and THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, which sees Oregon plagued by an outbreak of government-created tornadoes which additionally have the power to freeze anything in their path (apart from the protagonists, of course). The resulting film is as silly as they come, made on a low budget so there is plenty of talk and not so much disaster. When the weather outbreaks do hit, we are treated to flying CGI cars and hilarious shots of people/buildings turning to ice as the tornado passes over them. I do not mind a bit of cheese like this, but the rest of the film is so poor as to make actually watching it just not worthwhile. The acting is extremely wooden, and the characters anything but true to life. Nobody seems to show any emotion and you wonder whether those involved are all Stepford creations. The thrills are nonsensical and short-lived, and the supposed technological explanations ridiculous. Sadly, this is exactly what I was expecting from a "Syfy Channel" television movie, and I got it.
