Well, with a movie title such as "Firenado", then let's just face it that expectations for a proper movie aren't really high, now are they? Yet, I still opted to sit down and watch this 2023 movie on the off chance that it would be so bad it was enjoyable, much like the "Sharknado" movies.
On the plus side, then writer Tom Jolliffe delivered exactly what you would assume from a movie titled "Firenado"; which was an absolute dumpster fire of a storyline and script. Yeah, the movie was bad, so very, very bad. But not in a way that it become enjoyable to watch. Nay, "Firenado" was just downright a lousy movie experience. The storyline was almost non-existing and so simplistic that you could essentially just watch the beginning and ending of the movie, as everything in between just felt like filling.
The only familiar face on the screen for me was actress Nicola Wright, and she is not one that is known for having an abundance of top notch movie nicks on her belt.
Visually, then I will say that "Firenado" was actually surprisingly good. Now, hold your horses, because I am not saying that it was a great visual experience, not at all. But the CGI effects in "Firenado" were much better than I had anticipated them to be. However, the visual effects just were hollow as the was no existing storyline to enjoy.
If you enjoy natural disaster movies, then you know that the vast majority of such movies are usually rubbish. I have to say that directors Rhys Frake-Waterfield and Scott Jeffrey delivered a movie at the very bottom end of the scale.
"Firenado" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this so you don't have to. And I miraculously endured the entire movie.
My rating of "Firenado" lands on a one out of ten stars.
