Supercell

If after seeing the poster and reading the synopsis you thought that this was probably a (very) low budget version of Twister, you were right. It's sufficient if you must kill some time and there's nothing else at hand, but you certainly won't choose it for a re-watch any time soon. The story is thinner than thin, the acting is mediocre if I want to be generous, the special effects are hardly there. The script is not annoyingly bad, mostly because it's a soulless copy of other similar movies. Not much to remember, it's a movie as light as a feather. One dimensional characters do exactly what you expect them to do, and then the movie ends.

Here's The 4K Lowedown on "Supercell" (PG-13 - 2023 - Blu) Genre: Thriller/Disaster

My Score: 6.6 Cast=7 Acting=5 Plot=7 Ending=7 Story=7 Intense=7 Pace=6 Suspense=7 Disaster=8 Epic=5

A teenage boy runs away to follow his fathers footsteps as a legendary storm chaser despite his mother's wishes.

"Rule number one...always make sure you got at least a half a tank of gas." This is a low rent version of Twister, but they showed real tornado footage from a storm chaser and put it on a green screen. I loved the homage to Bill Paxton in the easter eggs and there were a couple good scenes, but you have to be a sucker for disaster movies to make this worth a watch. I am that sucker...I enjoyed the movie. RIP Anne Heche.

Like others, I was expecting it to be a newer Twister, but they missed the mark. It was just dull and meandering around. Lots of inconsistencies throughout and barely showing any action.

Like Twister it centered around a parent who had been killed in a storm and was about storm chasing and using a gadget that would do something to help early storm detection (although they never really explain what the heck it does).

That is where the similarities end, the rest of a kid trying to discover more about his dad and doing so by being fairly annoying. There are much better storm movies out there including Into the Storm or even the Hurricane Heist which isn't great, but more entertaining.

Well, I have to say that I was expecting a tad more from this 2023 disaster movie titled "Supercell", especially since it was a brand new movie and having a cast ensemble with some fairly established names on it.

All I knew about "Supercell", when I sat down to watch it was that it was about what the title of movie indicates. So I figured that chances were that it would be a good movie at least. So of course I opted to watch what director Herbert James Winterstern had to offer.

Writers and Anna Elizabeth James and Herbert James Winterstern delivered a watchable enough script for the movie. However, I have to say that it was a fairly generic plot, and in terms of excitement and thrills, then "Supercell" just didn't have what it took. It might have huffed and puffed, but it was not with much force.

And I am rather surprised at how generic and nondescript "Supercell" turned out to be, especially with the likes of Skeet Ulrich, Alec Baldwin and Anne Heche on the cast list. The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, but the character gallery was somewhat monotonous, and I didn't really care if something were to befell the characters or not.

Visually then "Supercell" was okay. The special effects were bland actually, and I wasn't impressed.

If you enjoy movies about tornadoes, then the 1996 movie "Twister" is still the best choice.

My rating of "Supercell" lands on a four out of ten stars.

With a great cast I was expecting so much more. Title should of been dysfunctional family that try's not to chase storms. Watched the entire movie hoping it would get better, but alas no. The back ground music didn't match what was happening it made it lead into something great was going to happen but nothing. You never get to see any great action scenes everything just leads up to something but falls flat. At one stage I thought the son was a teenager with well below average intelligence as he did some enormously stupid things and his behaviour was like that of a child. Sorry to say but 4 star was very generous and do not recommend this movie at all.
