This movie is a bit dull, and is nowhere near as good as the original. I know we are supposed to suspend our disbelief, but I found it incomprehensible that these twenty-somethings are the only people who seem to know what to do in a weather emergency? You'd think there was no advance warning system, no first responders, and none of the background actors seem to know what a tornado is.

I imagine that the special effects must have looked good on a big screen, though.

Overall I found it boring, not suspenseful, and the lead actress cannot keep her British accent under control. She is supposed to be an Oklahoma native, and she was not believable whatsoever.

I was a child when this movie was made, and I finally got around to watching it now. Perhaps children would enjoy it. I can't see how any adult of average or better intelligence could sit through this annoying garbage without getting a headache. The humor is pathetic (a dying man kicks an actual bucket down a hill--HILARIOUS!), all the actors mug shamelessly--I guess they think it's funny? I didn't smile or laugh even once. The misogynistic jokes about women are cringe-inducing. Really a waste of talent and of everyone's time. It's a shame, because I'm sure a lot of money and effort went into this project.

I notice other reviewers have given this a low score for the reason that they hate the individuals in the series. Well, I hate them, too, but I am reminded of an old saying: "If you can't set a good example, you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning."

I think these people are complete idiots, with the exception of the one lady named Erika, who seems pretty sensible.

They're showing us, by example, where deranged thinking leads people. We can watch and learn, and also be entertained.

Anybody who looks up to Ayn Rand needs to re-think their value system.
