The weather has never been as dangerous as it is in 500 MPH Storm (2013). Well, maybe in any typical Syfy Channel movie
the weather is a dangerous element especially when man has something to do with
as he does in this film. Nathan Sims
(Casper Van Dien) is enjoying the day with his family when he is informed that his
friend and colleague Simon Caprisi (Michael Beach) has turned on his
experimental weather machine which goes out of control creating massive
hurricanes that rip across America. Now
time is running out as Sims must get his family to safety and find a way to stop
his machine before it creates a “hypercane” that could destroy North America.
Unfortunately, despite the very Eco-friendly message of the
film it’s riddled with bad acting and horrible CGI visual FX which take you out
of the film. Dien is not a stranger to
these types of films since most of his career in the past decade has been of
this variety. He does the best that he
can but there isn’t much that he’s given.
Written by Kuang Lee and Hank Woon Jr., the film also
suffers from the fact that as ludicrous as the idea is no one seems to be
having any fun in the film least of all Dien.
Supporting characters are more annoying than normal to the point that
you wish some of them would just die and the film slugs along through its 86
minute run time. A film to avoid if
possible.
