Lightning: Bolts of Destruction (2003) Reviews
I was pulling for the lightning.
How bad can a made for TV movie get? We may have a new standard here. Besides the fact none of this movie made any sense which I can tolerate, the writing and acting was so bad it makes me think that even I could make living writing cable movies using nothing but tired clichés and nonsensical plot lines. I just love the fact that as the world is about to be destroyed, all that these wooden characters could talk about was how they were going to reconcile their unbelievably mundane family issues. It was almost as if the supposed devastating lightning storm (which we see destroy various world monuments in what can only be described as "Plan 9 from Outer Space" quality special effects) was a subplot. I saw this at 2 AM after getting home from a function and not being able to sleep. It was either this mess or paid programming, I regret not turning to watch the Ronco guy.
Lightning Bolts of Destruction: I'm being a bit generous
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
Great idea that died in a flash
Decent flick. Special Effects were good at times, but sometimes the buildings being struck by lightning looked like my sons' models. Science part is horrible, but movies are for entertainment escape, not educational. Acting was alright, but I felt Nick Mancuso & Pacula could have made their characters better. Could have been better if Pacula's character was casted differently. I usually like her, but I felt she took away from the character. **SPOILER** With the world in peril, I found it strange if not hilarious that there was only one military personnel on the "task" force as well as very little government "thinkers" I guess they put all their budget into the special effects.
Don't go outside, don't watch this movie
I thought Cabin Boy was the worst movie I had seen, until this one. Manquito was even better. This movie was made according to the disaster movie formula to the letter. One person figures out the danger, antagonist too worried about money or career to heed warning. Doesn't even heed warning not to go outside. In the middle of the disaster the heroine tells her son, "You are adopted and oh, by the way, the world is about to end." The ending is very predictable. The acting is terrible and so is the plot. And the craziest thing in the movie is that the fighter pilots for the US air force look like they are wearing storm trooper costumes from Star Wars. But, I did learn that there is positive lightning and negative lightning.
"Lightning" the future
Lightning: Bolts of Destruction is a film made for television in special effects wise. The story line is one that you see in most weather movies. It's the dark side of nature at its brightest. The movies links the past with the future and the present on different planets. It's a must see for any weather fan.
