Zitate
Marcus: [Address on the Television] My fellow Washingtonians, my name is Dr. Marcus Grange. And I come before you today with a warning. As you reel from the desecration of yet another symbol of your great democracy, know that this is just a balancing of the scales. The ignorance and petty political games of your elected representatives have caused untold damage to science. They're the ones who have brought this retribution down on your heads, and none bear more responsibility than Senator Jason Aldrich. Senator, you like to talk about drawing a line in the sand when it comes to government waste. What about the waste of years of a man's life, hm? Breakthroughs that will never be made because you valued the almighty dollar above the pursuit of knowledge. I'm here to tell you that this is just the beginning. The people of this city will continue to pay for what you've done, and when I'm through, if you're not already dead, the survivors will run you out of the ruins on a rail. Just think: if you hadn't canceled Thunderhead, you'd be able to do what I can do. Control the weather itself. I've realized a dream that men have had since the dawn of time. The desecration of yet another symbol of your great democracy. Petty, political games have caused untold damage to science. I am Thor, I am the God of Storms, and I will have my revenge! The almighty dollar above the pursuit of knowledge. But this is... the beginning.

For real?

Given the title of the movie, and the list of cast, you know what kind of movie you are in for already from the start. The title itself was an indicator of this going to be bad.

The story was really thin and it was so far out there that it was just so very hard to buy into it. I mean, a scientist taking revenge by using storms and lightning because his project funding was taken away. Come on, it was just not plausible.

One thing that the movie had working for it, was the semi-adequate effects. The special effects weren't all that shabby, nor were they top notch state of the art. They did, however, serve their purpose well enough and it showed what needed to be shown.

The cast in the movie were not on the heavy-weight scale of acting, but there were some decent enough performances here. Just don't expect any award-winning performances.

I had a hard time getting into this movie, and "Weather Wars" is just another drop in the ocean of low-budget disaster movies. There are so many similar movies out there, equally stupid and thin-storied, and it didn't extinguish itself in any particular way. There are far better disaster-themed movies out there. "Weather Wars" might be worth a watch if you are a fan of anyone on the cast list, but otherwise it is a stale lukewarm experience.

Having seen the movie, I can honestly say that it is not a movie that will make it to my screen a second time.
