500 MPH Storm

I do not mind low-budget movies at all, there are still movies that are so but are still entertaining regardless. 500 MPH Storm was low-budget and not at all entertaining. I'll forgive any movie for being low-budget, I will not forgive one that looks as though no effort or heart went into it, and it is in this category where 500 MPH Storm falls under. It is difficult where to begin with criticising but one of many things that struck me was how severely underacted the movie is. The smallest plank of wood is more animated than any of these actors, who from their phoned-in delivery of lines and wooden presences look as though they were held at gunpoint. Even for a low-budget movie, 500 MPH Storm was so cheaply made you do find wondering why did they even try. The editing is choppy and blurry and the special effects looked unfinished and would be more at home in a low-budget movie from twenty years ago. The dialogue is so awkwardly delivered and repeats itself to the point of you getting a bruise from hitting your forehead against a wall, and the story has no life whatsoever with the disaster sequences poorly edited and lacking in thrills or suspense. The scientific errors and unbelievably idiotic moments are so numerous to list and would be better documented in a 500+ page novel. The characters have no development to them and infuriate you in how stupidly and obnoxiously they believe throughout. The music is overbearing and has no flow, while the direction indicates someone who had little to no idea as to how to direct the action, actors or anything. To conclude, just awful and irredeemably, an amateur's job all around and in the worst possible sense. 0/10 Bethany Cox

Over the years I've seen a bunch of bad movies and I thought it cant get worse ... well, till I saw this disaster. No worries about a spoiler. I can't tell the end!.

The worst acting I have ever seen. Awful special F/X, unbelievable Storm (when it's 500mph how can a regular car escape without any troubles), weather, fire (even I can do better with AfterEffects), 3D Animations what so ever computer effects ...

My Summery: I would rather be tortured with a 24h Teletubbies Marathon than watching this movie again or be forced to watch the rest. Who ever financed that movie mus have too much money. In that case he can write me a cheque.

With the title itself, you already know 'this is going to be one of those movies'. And yes, that is exactly right. Another disastrous disaster movie. But still, there is just something alluring to these cheesy and bad CGI disaster movies that keeps me coming back. Perhaps it is to see just how bad it is that does it.

Regardless, then "500 MPH Storm" is a disaster at 500 mph, indeed. The CGI effects in the movie are horrible - as to be expected. And you don't really buy into this being a 500 mph storm at any given time throughout the movie.

And for some odd reason, as almost every single time, in these type of movies, the destructive forces of the natural disaster follows hard on heel in the wake of our main characters. I guess mother nature has it in for the main characters, throwing just every single bit of poorly animated CGI effect their way.

The story in "500 MPH Storm" is right out of the "let's make a disaster movie" guidebook; people have created some device that wreaks a natural disaster of grand proportions and is unable to stop it. Just who creates a machine without a failsafe shutdown system anyway? Regardless, then it is up to a small handful of people to save the world. Do they? Well, you already know the answer to that.

Yeah, this is one of those excruciatingly predictable movies!

The acting in the movie was wooden and painfully rigid. And the dialogue offered the characters in the movie didn't really help anything along in a good way either.

If you enjoy campy and cheesy movies with horrible CGI effects, then you might find some fun in "500 MPH Storm", otherwise, don't waste your time on this movie.

I know this was before Fire Twister but I watched them out of order so I didn't get to point out that they are the same movie on my review of that mess. The only difference is that in this movie they combined the characters of the scientist who knows how to stop it and the hunky action hero into one role for Casper Van Dien. It's extremely odd that he was the star of both movies but they were written and directed by different people. Just like the fire twister, the 500 MPH Storm only follows him and yet he has no problem avoiding it. Of course the cgi is terrible and the dialogue is some of the worst to ever be captured on film. The conversations Van Dien has with his family are brutal. The only cool thing about this movie was that there was a Spider-Ham hot air balloon. I'd only recommend watching this if you are going to watch Fire Twister also so you can see that they are the same movie.

let your enemies watch this movie. you will not be a suspect. because they will die of heart attack because the movie sucks big time! what the H is Casper doing in this crap. my 4th year class could make a better movie than this director. if there is lower than 1 rating, this will be the movie. WORST MOVIE EVER!!! i didn't even finished it because it's disgusting!! the CGI is like a grade school doing it. the actors sucks big time. the costumes, everything sucks in this movie. I could write all the invectives in this movie and it would not be enough to describe this terrible movie. It really sucks big time. I wonder why IMDb included this in there list.
