Super Cyclone (2012) Reviews
Something is definitely not right...
'Something is definitely not right', that quote is taken directly out of the movie, and it can very well be used to sum up the entire movie. As soon as I saw 'The Asylum' written on the screen at the very beginning of the movie, I feared that this was going to be bad. That The Asylum had returned to their horribly bad disaster movies after a couple of actual decent non-disaster movies in the past couple of years. And boy was I right, this was bad on so many levels. I have seen a lot of really bad and questionable disaster movies, and "Super Cyclone" definitely is right up there in the top 5 fighting for the number one position. For starters, there are so many continuity errors in this movie that you just sit there and shake your head in disbelief. For example, for a super cyclone of that magnitude to be in effect, the ocean was unbelievably calm, with only lazy waves rolling about. And also the sky in my of the shots, especially aboard the off-shore rig, was changing between dark and storm-like to clear blue and almost cloudless - make up your minds already? Or the fact that the ocean was on fire and the rig was on fire, but then in some scenes neither ocean nor rig was on fire! Then lets take a moment and talk about the special effects (or lack thereof). The computer animated rain was just horrible, and it was so fake that it wouldn't even fool a blind man. It was without a doubt the worst CGI rain I have ever seen. It could douse the car, but it left the road and nature dry and untouched. And the same with the time it was raining oil! It soaked and drenched the car, but the environment was spotless and clean. Why is it that The Asylum always have to resort to have a video sequence and then use the same sequence over and over again? It is ridiculous. Especially the scene where a tornado picked up a ship, and then shortly after the ship was returned to the ocean. And guess what? Yeah, you guessed it, they just reversed the video clip and used that. I was laughing so hard at that. Flaming hail? Seriously? Who comes up with that? Hail is a form of solid precipitation, that consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice. So for hail to be on fire and falling from the sky? Come on, no one is that stupid to believe that for a second. Flaming ice, hilarious! The scene with the bursting dam should also be mentioned, not only because it looked so painfully fake, but because for some reason that huge amount of water abides to the physics and shapes of roads. I loved how the wall of water was able to turn a curve and come straight for the car, where it would otherwise (had it followed the natural laws of physics) continued straight ahead into the trees. It just have to be seen to be believed. I have never seen anything that stupid. Or what about where the people were trying to get over a felled tree, and the guy just stopped midway and just stood there extending his arm, thinking 'yeah, I will get across if I just keep extending my arm!' and then got sucked into a sinkhole that just magically popped up and took him. That was just insulting to everyone. That guy's behavior was just so appalling and unrealistic. Not to mention the security officer and his companion aboard the off-shore rig, who just upped and decided to jump into the boiling ocean! What was up with that? Who would do that? Speaking of boiling water. We were lead to believe that the ocean was boiling! But there was no bubbles in the water to indicate the boiling temperature. Nor did blisters or red markings appear on the skin of those people who were in the water, supposedly being boiled alive. If you go for something like that, at least have the courtesy to make it appear as it is actually happening, make the audience buy into it. Well, all the ranting aside, then there was good things to "Super Cyclone", not many, but some. The good thing about the movie, and the fact that I actually managed to suffer through the entire movie, was the acting. They had actually put together a good enough group of people. Mind you, it is not award-winning acting here, but it is above amateur level, which makes it bearable to behold. Most memorable in the movie was Ming-Na (playing Dr. Jenna Sparks) and Darin Cooper (playing Colonel Lee Chadwick). If you enjoy a good natural disaster movie, then stay well clear of "Super Cyclone", because it doesn't deliver and it will not blow you away. Then you are perhaps better off with a choice like "Volcano". However, if you enjoy a campy and cheesy natural disaster movie in which the biggest disaster is the special effects, then hang around for the approximate hour and a half, because "Super Cyclone" is about to rock your world.
worst movie ever, waste of time
Horrible graphics, bad acting, complete waste of money and time!!! I have Nothing nice to say about this movie!! I have seen many of the actors in other movies or show and like most of their work but this is a movie they should all be embarrassed to admit they are a part of! I plan on letting the video company know they should pull.it off the shelf and will request my rental fee back. Now if only I could get back the 90 min of my life I wasted trying to watch it. Trying to submit my review and they are saying I have to have ten lines of comments but the movie was so.bad I can't even write ten lines of crap describing how awful the movie really is. I hope no one else has the unfortunate experience of renting and wasting time and money I hope no one else had the unfortunate experience of wasting their time and money on watching this movie
More like Super-catastrophic Cyclone
I was curious and had little else to do, so I tuned in to Super Cyclone, not expecting much but at least some watchability. In evaluation there is nothing really watchable about Super Cyclone. If there are two things at all that sank Super Cyclone the most, I have to most definitely agree with that it was the special effects and the acting. Okay I knew the special effects were not going to be great, they rarely are in low-budget movies, but you do expect to see some kind of effort. These efforts actually look as though they weren't even trying, everything looked cheap and unfinished and even when against the choppy editing and dully lit settings they looked incredibly fake. If you are looking for the worst representation of rain in any movie, look no further than Super Cyclone. And no I'm not kidding. The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen, I have to agree that to call the acting terrible is an insult to the word terrible. The only person to actually looks as though they are trying is Ming-Na, and she's only okay here. The story is another major disadvantage in Super Cyclone. No surprises, no suspense, no thrills, no sense of fun are to be found in the entire movie, considering that these are what makes a good disaster movie to say that this was a major problem is being too generous. There are far too many frustratingly stupid or insultingly unrealistic moments, it is paced in a pedantic fashion, the disaster scenes are so lifelessly done and predictable and the emotional moments are very forced, giving you little more than a who cares? vibe. The characters are stereotypical(all the disaster movie clichés and done terribly), are too bland in development to be remotely relateable to any audience and are made to do obnoxious things that not only makes you hate the character but also makes the scene further unbelievable until it was so hard to stomach. Then there is the dialogue which reeks of cheese and awkwardness, flat direction and very generic music. In conclusion, the only thing that is a disaster is the movie itself. 0/10 Bethany Cox
awful
bad acting,terrible special effects, how convenient to be sucked up in a tornado and land nicely on four wheels then get out and have beautiful weather , or having wind and oil( I thought they struck lava) on the windshield and noticing that the vegetation was still and serene. The same on the rig were all hell breaks loose, explosions,fire,lava, etc... but in the cabin, nothing was happening and seeing the camera going in circles around the people who cannot decide what to do next and outside, it was sunny and no smoke, in another sequence, you see them hosing on the ground in front of the fire! like they inserted clips from somewhere else and the list goes on and on, I just cannot find what made sense during the film apart from the actors earning a living, good for them ! the whole film was clips inserted here and there from someplace else and no efforts done to make the special effects more believable, I was left with the impression that all they wanted is to get the film out the quickest possible without reviewing anything to make a quick buck on the least possible effort, that's what you get when that happens, I was very deceived
complete and utter waste of time
As in the summary described, it was a "complete and utter waste of time"! The acting was so bad, I could just sit and laugh (and cry deep inside). The CGI effect, let's call them effect were just out of perspective, and so cheap, just sitting and watching made me realize that tonight I will cry myself to sleep. The driving scenes with the bad white studio background where two guys hopping inside a SUV, was just hilarious, the shot "taken" inside the F-16 as it flies above the rig, and something on the rig explodes, next cut we see the people on the rig, NO smoke, NO explosion, just MADNESS, and it wasn't even a mythological movie. Also the acting of some of the characters were just so funny that I had to watch it to the end.
