Stormageddon (2015 TV Movie)
3/10
Don't Expect Any Oscar-Worthy Performances Here
4 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
A real dog of a movie. But I wasn't really expecting anything different. A bunch of X, Y and Z - list actors and actresses fresh from acting school coupled with a few hacks who call themselves writers and directors and toss in Adrian Paul for good measure and you've got yourself a SyFy movie for the ages. This convoluted nonsense is part Terminator, part Day After Tomorrow, and part every other SyFy channel "movie" that you've ever had the misfortune to sit through without slitting your wrists. Where to begin? Something about drones being taken over by some unknown entity and some weird looking bald dude without eyebrows who for some reason has an identical twin, and for extra effect are called Cain and Abel. Then you've got this psycho government agent who simply goes around taking head shots at everyone he can for no reason whatsoever. There's this terminator like guy who has really bad long hair and is in need of lessons on how to use a razor blade properly who is the "good guy" and of course you've got the hot little chick who works at the local newspaper who gets sent a cryptic video cassette that turns her life upside down. The least that the director could have done is give the audience a gratuitous bra and panty shot of her as a way of thanking us for watching this garbage. But alas, that was not to be. So, Yada yada yada, time passes, people fight, people die, then the characters wind up on an oil rig out in the middle of the ocean fighting for their lives and the fate of humanity. I really didn't know what the hell was going on in this movie. If you've got a couple of hours to waste then go ahead and watch it. But I think you'd be better off seeing how many times you could rub one out in the time that this movie runs.
