La Colère du ciel

This Canadian sequel to the 2001 American Lightning: Fire from the Sky is an underwhelming affair from start to finish and feels so very unnecessary.

What I mean by that is, a sequel......to THAT?! Really!? I mean the first was better but still just your generic Scyfy channel-esque movie. It wouldn't be so bad if there was a connection between them but this is an entirely new tale.

Starring underrated Joanna Pacula and overrated Nick Mancuso this hops over cinematic release, fails to be a straight to DVD and gets relegated to regular repeats on the free channels.

It tells ultimately the same story, a "Super" storm is coming and an expert in the field of erm....lightning has to save the day. Trouble is nobody believes her! What shall she do?

Well she leads a very boring film that manages to pale in comparison to the already mediocre first movie. Full of overwhelming volumes of pseudo science, a generic script and instantly forgettable sequences this is a bit of a mess.

A weak addition to the library of even the most hardcore disaster movie fan.

The Good:

Joanna Pacula

The Bad:

The "Nobody believes them until it's too late" trope is really tired

Too much pseudo science

Whole thing just comes across very phoned in

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Jiffy gas should be a real thing

The movie industry doesn't like Big Ben
