Manthast Absolutely amazing

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

vicdru1 I am only 21 minutes into this movie and already there are more holes than pound of Swiss cheese. For instance: A massive storm, the boat is rocking all over the place, people scrambling for cover, big waves, the whole nine yards. One man falls over board into a perfectly calm, what resembles a black bottom swimming pool. Later they're in the kitchen of the boat - everything on the shelves and counters are in perfect order, like they've not been touched at all. Not too mention, the sky is black, thunder crashing, winds blowing and yet strangely on the deck of the ship, the sun is shining and there is no sign of even a mild breeze anywhere. And the acting - WHERE do they get these people that play in these horrible, boring, ridiculous, so called disaster movies.

skyking-14 Usually, even the worst of the SyFi movies are relatively watchable for their comedic value if for no other reason, but this one is clearly one of the exceptions! Any budget in excess of $25.00 was a gross waste of money. I gave it one star only because negative stars are not offered... had they been, I'd have gone with a -3 stars.The few recognizable actors clearly mailed in their "performances" and the special effects are so bad that in many cases they would've been more credible if shot with a hand-held camera and the camera had been jerked around periodically... so many shots of explosions and high seas, yet in most of the interior shots on both the boat and the oil rig showed no movement at all.Even had they resorted to the typical SyFi expedient of throwing in a handful of bikini-clad Playmate wannabes in danger, it couldn't have bumped this one up a single star.

egocandy Did you know every Dynastic Hollywood family has a JV squad of alternate relatives? Your Coppollas, your Baldwins, pretty much all the Arquettes? They are kept hermetically sealed in case the alpha celebrity ever needs an organ transplant. Occasionally they are allowed to exercise and are even humored to workshop their acting, provided no one shall ever see it. It was thusly that Nicholas Turturro was permitted to appear in "Super Cyclone".Nick Turturro plays an engineer, we know this because the script says so. Also he is dressed in a jacket and tie with jeans, in the costuming choice of a high schooler who doesn't own an actual suit but still wants to play a grown up in a play. He is named "Travis", which is almost as believable as an Asian woman named "Joanna Sparks" Ming Na plays "Dr. Joanna Sparks" who works for N.O.A.A. an agency she never identifies but pronounces as "No-Ha" which really sounds like a trendy L. A. Sushi/fusion restaurant. This has nothing to do with her ethnicity, it just sounds like a restaurant, and it must be pretty popular because everyone gives her access. As to why someone from a trendy restaurant has a PhD, it would be weirder if she didn't.Dr. Percy Cavanaugh rounds out this Brain trust triad as an exposition sounding board and disaster fodder. He seems like a Devry testimonial that is destined to end badly. They land via digital chopper on what we're told is an oil rig and in no way is the facility plant of a community college.Somehow a geologic event is set off by 2 workers tightening or loosening a valve in the lowest level of a parking garage. These two workers pay for their mistake in the cleanest death by burns scene in medical history.Exposition comes from a disembodied female voice we can only assume is either a news reporter or the Mic is picking up an actress in the next sound booth recounting the plot to an Asylum movie she turned down.The led singer of "Sugar Ray" has taken a hiatus from music to work on an oil rig and spend more time with his hair. He tries to conceal his voice behind a terrible impersonation of the Sergeant from "Full Metal Jacket" but everyone knows. He claims to be a safety officer in charge of 100-105 men, 97 of whom we never see. I suspect the others are trapped in a diversity training so mandatory, they may not leave to fight a full scale rig fire. The 8-10 who remain bare a remarkable resemblance to the Steelworker Dancers in Billy Joel's "Allentown" video.Anyway, this "storm" seems to be occurring on what Seattle would call "The Sunniest Day of The Year" with a rain that has a terrifying defiance of physical properties; it can specifically soak a car but none of the surrounding land or roads, it remains solidly in foreground, and it is flammable when frozen. That's right, "flaming hail" You know it's a crisis because BOTH members of the US Marine Corp are frantically pacing the High School from "The Breakfast Club", which BTW is still as deserted as it was 28 years ago.Our team of scientists move to land and make a colossal discovery; an actual black person in Topanga Canyon. This man is also the only African-American Tea Party/Survivalist, making him a .00003% anomaly. Before the team can document their find, they easily disarm the subject and take his truck, illustrating perhaps why this demographic is nearly extinct.Their low impact Runyon Canyon hike turns serious when Dr. Cavanaugh decides that rather than walk over a log, he will dramatically recreate Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" with him as Adam and Joanna sparks as God or vice versa or... anyway he meets his "Red Shirt Destiny" by being inexplicably sucked into a sinkhole that targets him very, very specifically. As in, it is massive but spares people 11 inches away. Whatever he did to that sinkhole, it was pretty angry. A wall of water kills the only two characters I had any sympathy for; two guys in a camouflage truck who are either a golf club lawn crew or the entirety of the US Army.So then... You know what? I am out.

sixpack-3 I do not normally say that a movie is horrible. I try to look at the intent of the film,the budget, etc. I know that SyFy Channel movies are not good, that is the fun in watching them... knowing how bad they are. But this film is just plain awful. It was made with such little care that it seems as if the people who made it were hanging around in a parking lot making this film with the camera on their cell phones. This film is completely and utterly ineptly made. Here is an example... part of the film takes place on an oil rig out in the middle of the ocean. OK, I understand that you had no budget and could not afford to film on a real oil rig so you had to film at a land based industrial complex. No problem, that is how films are made. One piece of advice... if you are filming at the previously mentioned land based industrial complex as a stand in for your oil rig in the middle of the ocean try not to capture the trees and telephone polls and streets with cars driving by. This was painful to watch.
