Superstorm Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
U.N. Owen I'm NOT gonna ruin this for you (it'll do that all on it's own). No, I'm commenting on the fact that I recorded it on my DVR, because it was on the Science Channel, and I thought it was either a 'what if' show, or a show about a hypothetical massive storm hitting somewhere in the U.S.Within...oh...30 seconds, something seemed...'off.' So, I Googled the names of some of the 'scientists' because they didn't 'seem' to be REAL scientists. I was a little shocked to find out SUPERSTORM was NEITHER of what I thought it'd be, but rather a schlocky straight to the discount bin 'movie' MADE in a pseudo-doc style.In summary, since I've been told to 'tone down' my review and what I wanted to say - I'll leave it by just saying this flick - from what I saw, is terrible.
wmhogg I saw this show on the Discovery Science channel. For those familiar with the extremely low-budget graphics, animation, and photography of the Science Channel, this was quite an exceptionally well-done show.They have real actors, high-quality graphics, and a very interesting story-line. I thought it was very entertaining and suspenseful.Tom Sizemore played the government bureaucrat very believably. For those of you familiar with Stargate SG-1, "Martouf" is one of the main characters, "Lance". The tension between the scientists was very compelling as each had their own research and points of view, but their own opinions required constant re-evaluation as the situation changed hourly.Well done science program.
akajohncastle SuperStorm came to our screens in the Uk over the last three weeks and despite reservations with the plot and the fact that this has been done before in Hollywood Blockbusters, I was kind of looking forward to seeing it. I wasn't disappointed. taken off the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the mini series, takes us into the world of weather manipulation. Something that a few years ago would have been unheard of, is now a reality and becoming less like science fiction every day. The storyline has some interesting ideas and dilemmas. If only we could change the course of a storm we could save the lives of thousands of people every year. However Mother nature has proved many times before that she isn't one to be tampered with or tamed and with discovery, comes great risk and even possible failure and tragedy.I won't tell you the plot, as you will have to see it yourself to understand, but to sum up, SuperStorm poses us questions and offers answers. With fantastic special effects and a strong cast and funding from both sides of the Atlantic under the banner of the BBC, SuperStorm is a must see in my book.Watch it as a piece of fiction, but ask yourself the question.....what if.Enjoy.
little_tim With an upto date and very reflective view of the real world issues surrounding weather, the storyline of this series is interesting and probably closer to truth than might be immediately apparent.Some solid cast support some largely unknowns as slightly unbelievable scientists, and I found some of the acting a little poor, however, the overall premise is extremely intriguing and I look forward to the developing of this series. I would definitely recommend putting aside an hour of your evening on Sunday, as nothing better on at least, and I hope you are all as pleasantly surprised as I was.
