4/10
Three hours?

Warning: Spoilers
The military is having a billionaire create a weapon that controls the weather. It can be used for both good or bad. Even though the makers feel its ready to go the military wants one more test. When the device is turned on to a large hurricane something goes wrong and the machine unleashes horrible weather across the globe.

This is a two part miniseries that plays like a 3 hour movie on DVD. I have yet to quite figure out why this needed to be so long since the story pretty much kicks in in the first ten minutes and just goes. By the end of the first half the film is close to wearing out its welcome and odds are you're going to be groaning that there is another 90 minutes to go. The cast which has Treat Williams, James Van Der Beek, Luke Perry and John Larroquette is fine but the rest isn't. The script is too long, the effects are passable and the camera is constantly in moving even when it shouldn't be.

Its completely unwatchable, but at the same time I would keep this in reserve for those times when you want something to fall asleep to when you're sick in bed.
