Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Marshal Phipps The DVD cover art is very misleading, it depicts a tornado in city that hurls a car that is about to fall on an observing child, that never happens in the movie. What made me chuckle was the tag line "this movie will blow you away", the only thing this film does is blow my expectations away.This film is more about a family drama revolving around a tornado tragedy rather than something along the lines of a large scale disaster.While this film isn't bad it disappointing to me because of how the flashy DVD box cover art tricks the wandering eye. The tornado sequences is what allowed me to get through the film since that's what I've been wanting to see, for what the film is worth it's a decent drama film though it tends to stumble in some places.
Chismchick1 WOW!.. from the get go u will think.... "what the.." then... "get off n run stupid!..." then.. "just grab her little butt n run!!..." THEN......"why the hell am I still watching this?!.." The way the storm came over the trees WITHOUT displacing them in any kind of way is laughable! Maybe this is a comedy... Who knows.I do know this movie is lame from the beginning. I'd be embarrassed to be associated with this movie. I assume this is a 'foot in the door' for some new young actors to get their face out there or for some desperate actor taking on whatever role they can to grab some money to make ends meet.. Cause DAMN!!! really???!!XP
mhenderson40 I'll give this one a (huh?) out of ten.In terms of plot, we have another Twister clone, only without the budget, and without the F/X, and apparently without a screenwriter who's seen the last 17 Twister clones already made. Compared to most Lifetime fare, Tornado Valley really doesn't stand out from the pack, good or bad. It's a bland, formulaic, run of the mill childhood tragedy, adult baggage, dysfunctional family flick that keeps Hallmark and Lifetime from being 24 hour infomercial channels.Now for the good stuff. We have the Storm Protection Center in Norman, Oklahoma (in reality, the Storm Prediction Center in Norman), a name which got some giggles from me. What, they have a national storm shelter in Norman? "Hey, there's a bad storm, let's head up the Storm Protection Center." Then there's Matilda, a device that looks like a plasma globe from Spencer's Gifts at the mall, which can not only help with predicting when and where tornadoes will, but will also prevent "billions of dollars in collateral damage". Huh? So, I'm to believe that Matilda can teleport crops, forests, and office buildings out of the path of a tornado? Maybe it's the funky patterns in Matilda's plasma globe that will distract the tornado from hitting people and buildings? Remember to keep an eye out for the eco-nadoes. No trees, grass, or small forest animals were injured in the making of Tornado Valley, because these tornadoes only eat humans, houses, and tractors, refuse to drop any hail or rain, and are only slightly windier than a ceiling fan. Could be Matilda working subtly from the start...
dbborroughs I wasn't really gripped by this film and my attention wandered. I think the plot goes something like this: Little girl who lost her mother to a tornado grows up to be a TV weather person. She returns home and deals with the past and the present. At the same time the government is tentatively setting up an agency to monitor tornadoes. It all comes together in the end for big tornado that once again threatens the now grown up girl and her loved ones.Bland TV movie like story is a great deal of talk bookended by a tornado at either end. For me the film was lost when the tornadoes turned out to be rather weak CGI effects that never really look threatening. One would have thought that a film about tornadoes would have spent some money on making them seem menacing, but thats not the case. The rest of the film is okay but you really won't care because there is no pay off with a threatening storm.I'm take a pass.
