Super Icyclone

Yep, another formula disaster movie. They do not even try to mask it with any plausibility. According to the climatologist, Jill, played by Brigitte Kingsley this just cannot happen. Hope your windows are closed and cats are inside.

We are lucky that they use all the standard cliches with straight faces. You may miss sharks but the tornados can spit out just as lethal ice spikes. Even more luck is that we do not have to wait half way through the movie to see icy action.

They follow the formula perfectly so we can guess what happens accurately. The fun is in seeing that they do it correctly not logically. We get lots of stay in the car scenes. (I know you are not supposed to stay in the car in a tornado movie.) One of the highlights of the movie is cell phones that no longer get service and other cell phones that stop working when the lights go out.

I cannot believe they gave up eating spaghetti for a romp in a hot tub! Which reminds me one day you need to watch "Eating Raoul" (1982).

At least this movie should put a little spike in your life. Some people may think this movie sucks. But that is what it is supposed to do.
