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.

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Let's be realistic.
Awesome Movie
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
What COULD have been a good movie with a strong message about climate change ? turned out to be a melo drama in disguise.While I DID watch this movie at no cost ? I STILL want my money back.So, the girl hurts her LEFT LEG but he helps her walk by having her walk on her bad leg and he supports her on the side with her good leg.This movie damaged me in some way.But wait, if mysterious tornadoes aren't enough, how about some ball lightening. I kept asking - it that Brad Pitt ? AVOID this one unless you like dog food mixed with hot wax from crayons inside sausage wrappers dipped in jelly baked at 700 degrees F for 9 hours and then frozen in liquid nitrogen.
So I'm usually up for watching a good action flick. But this one just kills. Literally if the acting wasn't bad enough the burning of my eyes from the crappy special effects should be a good idea how bad this movie was. I know that I am never going to get back that 3 hours of my life. The red spot when you saw it as one person commented really did remind me of something you would see on Star trek the original series. I would not be recommending this movie to anyone. Yet another Canadian movie that for some reason they can't have it happen in a Canadian city always has to be the good old USA that has to save the day give me a break. No offense meant.
Typical type of disaster movie, with some nicish effects, if a little bit green!At one point I thought they were going to call Ghostbusters as the green ecto plasam descended on NY.This file is let down with some poor acting specially Nicole de Boer (Dr. Cassie Lawrence) who acts like she's the most important person in the world!Worth a watch if you have not much to do (as i did, watched it on CH5 UK) and its on TV would not go out and rent it, guess thats what you get for made for TV movies, not sure if it made the Cinema but doubt it.
Since i'm a big tornado "fan", i tried to watch the movie last night on TV. The good thing: a Tornado movie! Woehoe! But that sums it up.The movie excelled in BAD acting! And never seen crappy fx! We are in 2008 and the fx look worse then they did in Twister (and those were already very bad). Let me give u an example: the first 'big' twister u see, appears just offshore to Ellis Island (u know, Lady Liberty and stuff). But it appears in ... blue sky. Now even idiots KNOW u need clouds for tornadoes. OK OK, u see SOME clouds, but more like little sheep flocking in the sky. Suddenly, out of nowhere, some black clouds appear and a crappy tornado forms in less then 3 seconds and tears of the arm of lady liberty (which blocks the way of 2 young, hunky but now trapped stars). There is not 1 Tornado movie on the market that truly creates an actual funnel, and this movie is not worth one minute of your time! See something else!
