The Big Apple comes under threat yet again in this cliché-riddled disaster movie from schlockmeister Tibor Takacs. This time it's mini tornados causing made-for-TV chaos, leaving deputy mayor Sebastian Spence and his meteorologist wife Nicole de Boer racing to save the day. Realism is the first casualty of this global-warming fallout, as sudden gusts of abysmal computer effects compete for unintended laughs alongside beyond-stupid dialogue. Unnatural performances exacerbate this air of implausibility, with de Boer in particular struggling to emote in even the most supposedly dramatic situations. The ineffectual end result makes the cataclysmic destruction feel tedious rather than terrifying, before limping to a damp squib finale.

Plot Summary

Disaster thriller starring Nicole de Boer. A series of tornados hits New York City, ripping up landmarks and decimating the population. Young meteorologist Cassie Lawrence believes that she holds the key to halting the path of destruction, and fights to convince the sceptical authorities that her daring plan of action is worth trying out.
