Another Three Mile Island

Since this film was a product made for the Science Fiction channel youwould expect to have all kinds of unearthly creatures from space ornewly rediscovered earth monsters in it. For Atomic Twister you wouldbe wrong.The title is terribly misleading. No monsters arise from a tornado. Atornado is the cause of things, in fact a couple of them hit a nuclearpower plant creating all kinds of problems for acting director of thefacility Sharon Lawrence.The plot is completely ripped off from both The China Syndrome and thereal life Three Mile Island near disaster from 1979. In many waysAtomic Twister is a throwback to the disaster films of the Seventies.Stars Sharon Lawrence, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, and Corbin Bernson givedecent performances in a disaster film that has all the standardclichÃ©s of same. Still it's an unusual product from the Science Fictionnetwork and easy to take.

Atomic Twister is an atomic joke

What a technical piece of junk. The viewer is supposed to believe that anuclear power plant is staffed by about 5 people??? There is only onesecurity guard???? I think we will be seeing this on Mystery ScienceTheaterreal soon.

really awful :(

Never thought someone will produce such a braindead thing in thismillenium.The authors definitely never seen an atomic plant, nor a twister, anddarednot let anyone near the film who even heard something. I better believeinaliens on flying saucers bombingEarth than a plant left running on 4people,with no connection to anything in the world, including firemen andelementary infrastructure.Actually I did work for a plant, it has internal fire station wits severalvehicles, and external band on alert -- I also have seen that externalcommand arriving in 1 (one) minute of the fire signal.Sute it is not in US, there security on such plants is likely different,isn't it?

Blow nukes

I saw this on TBS the same night another Turner station, TCM showed THECHINA SYNDROME. Ted must really have it in for nuclearpower.I did enjoy this more than most made-for-TV disaster movies. It kept thestupidity down to a minimum (such as "This is going to make Chernobyl looklike a firecracker"). Sharon Lawrence looked great running around in a tanktop t-shirt with wind whipped hair and a grease smudgedface.

So Bad, I laughed till I nearly threw up!

Wow. And I thought made for T.V. movies were supposed to be bad, be thiswasone was the crappiest thing I've seen in my life! They should give out aspecial Razzie for made for T.V. movies.The plot was so stupid, a nuclear power plant could be destroyed afterbeing attacked by a series of twister... and now the reactor couldexplode!(Dun Duh Daa!) If you need a good laugh, but not a good movie, watch thisone! I gave it a 1 of course, there are no negatives.

nucular??

OK I have to say this was one dumb movie. I would have had to change thechannel except that I can't pass up the opportunity to see Mark Paul inuniform, awww yeah. (Guys would probably not mind seeing Sharon Lawrencegettin all greasy in a white tank top either.) The acting in this moviestunk to high heaven and the dialogue was so cheesy, not to mention thatnothing made sense and the characters inspired more yelling at the screenthan any thriller I have seen in years. Yeah, the portable radio is ouronly link to the outside world during a nuclear crisis, let's leave itoutside during a tornado. Good idea. Unfortunately this movie even ruinedMark Paul for me when I heard him pronounce nuclear "nuke-u-lar."Ugh!

If it weren't for Sharon Lawrence

In my mind, Sharon Lawrence can do no wrong. I have to believe that shedesperately needed money when she made this movie, because that's the onlyway to explain her choosing this script. And, if that is the case, I canrespect her choice. Everyone has done things they're not necessarilyproudof for money. But, if she truly believed in this turkey, then I may havetorevoke my adoration of her.This movie is just pure swill, plain and simple. Pretty people inunrealistic situations. I'd rather watch (read: suffer) through "She'sAllThat" or "Sixteen Candles" if I really wanted that type of plot. Burn thepoor, wasted celluloid that was used (and I mean that in ALL senses of theword) and, if at all possible, punish the writers and director.

Amazing Dramatic Thriller

One of the greatest film masterpieces i've ever seen. An excellentmixture of suspense, drama, and comedy. The climax; when the town isabout to explode in a nuclear holocaust, a tornado is baring down on aover-turned car that is leaking gasoline and sitting on the edge of acliff, with a young girl in it, when Jake heroically put himself inharms way to save the girl, who was his ex-girlfriend, just in timebefore the car plummets over the cliff. Our hero Jake again proves hismanhood as he stares down death by facing off against a semi-truck. Themovie comes to a suspenseful end as the nuclear supervisor shows herskills as a diesel mechanic to save the country from disaster.

Non-Start Action.

It would take a committee of romance writers to pack as many cliches intothis small community beset upon by two disaster moviesconcurrently.The story is set mostly outside police cars being battered by loose pagesofscripts from stories that had one. The beautiful people in perfect makeupmust have been airbrushed by the first tornado, because the busting bosomsare pointless. The absence of nipples in all that augmented cleavage, andthe anti-technology political stance, add good family values that will be aboon to tv historians of generations to come.Not bad enough to watch, but you can always hunt for continuityerrors.

A Tornado of exhilaration!

The before and after faces of N.Y.P.D Blue Â Sharon Lawrence and MarkPaul-Gosselaar Â team for this eccentric, and somewhat small-time rip-offofJan De Bont's Twister, salvaged thanks to it's energetic performances andbrief originality.With an intro that reads like Twister Â boy watches as his mum is sucked upinto the guts of a tornado Â Atomic Twister ends up in revelling in it'sowninnovation by mixing a nuclear power plant into the path of the heavenlypunishment.Without warning, the Plant finds itself rocked by a twister; and it's hand,Corinne Maguire (Lawrence) must sweat it out and put her employees and thetown's population before all else for the greater good. Jake (Gosselaar),the young boy who watched his mother's demise at the start of the movie, isco-incidentally now an expert on all things whizzing, and so plays townsavoir to the chaotic streets.Its touches of Hollywood are there, but unlike many B-grade actionthrillers, Atomic Twister crosses a hurdle with its authentic performancesand exhilarating situations

This is way too fake

As the person said before, a nuclear power plant cannot explode.The reason is that the uranium used in atomic bombs have a much higherpurity then in power plants. Therefore, it is impossible for anexplosion to occur. The worst that could happen is that the core meltsthrough the containment chamber and spreads a lot of radiation out.And unless the tornado ripped out the control rods, which ispractically impossible as the control rods are dispersed around thefission material, then it wouldn't be hard to control the meltdown. Allone needs to do is lower the control rods to absorb the excessneutrons.

Very unbelievable story about twister attack on nuclear power plant

This is one off the worth action movies I have ever seen. How stupid dodirectors and producers think people are to believe movies like this?Firstof all the start of the movie. What has that got to do with everythingelsein the movie? The only thing it does is drawing a parallel with the muchbetter movie `Twister'. This is just trying to get a free ride on thesuccess of that blockbuster. After that it goes downhill with the story.Besides the personal issues between Corrine, Jake and his ex girlfriend,which are pretty ridiculous by the way, we have a nuclear plant in regionwhere there twisters (odd) with its mean electricity source in the openair(unbelievable) and, like that isn't enough, the emergency generatorsrightnext to it. So in a twister aria its expected there heavy things flyingaround from time to time, what is the chance that the transformator is hitin those cases and if it does where do you won't the back-up system to bewhen that happens? Yes, as far away form the main system as possible tominimize the chance of losing both systems at once. If that's not enoughyouput a woman in charge of a so called professional unit, who start shuttingdown systems who are, surprisingly, needed later to save the plant and thehole town. Who ordered the shutdown of those systems? Nice professionalbehaviour!! However, it gets whores. The standard communication meanscrashso they set up an alternative com link using a portable radio. This radioonly works outside. After agreeing to keep contact every 15 minutes, theyleave the portable radio outside in room with the doors open so the windcanget this not so heavy radio and remove it from the premises. Never thoughtthat could happen duhhh? All those errors create a leek in the pipesystem,which shakes abnormally hard for pipes underground away from the storm.Thenthe 'pro's' have to act fast to prevent the plant to meltdown. In thisstagethe pro's starting waste all the valuable time with apologies for al theunbelievable error's they made or start looking at parts of the machinerywith, I'm guessing at this point, high hopes that plant saves itself. Intheend some genius discover an extra diesel engine, which is for a changebuildinside. Luckily the engine starts just in time to save the plant andsomebody convinced the female supervisor to stick to her job in stead ofstarting to search for her son who is reported to be alive and justmissing,probably riding towards the plant and therefore easy to picked up by thedeputy Jake. And after this we still say that nuclear power is one of thesafest power there is, which gives stupidity a new meaning. You obviouslycan tell that I enjoyed this movie so much that I had an urge to chairthiswith al of you, and save a few people their money.

Adding water to the pool so the producers could take a bath!

I thought it might be from the 'Airplane' stable and expected LeslieNielson to suddenly appear to check out the reactor with hisstethoscope. Admittedly, it was made for TV so we don't expectHitchcock or Spielberg, nor do we expect quality performances but thisfilm was sunk by clichÃ©, incoherent direction, wooden acting andafternoon soap-opera production values. At every crisis, when we aretold everything will go critical in three minutes, we are diverted toanother lengthy scene with sloppy, sentimental kids and policemenovercoming their past personality disorders, termagant truckers and'authority' being challenged. The three minutes must have been uptwelve times and counting in the second reel - but this directormanaged to remove any potential for tension by flabby timing,irrelevant digressions and unintentional humour arising, I suspect, outof a complete lack of empathy with the subject. The cast run about likehysterical hens - even Homer Simpson makes a more convincing safetyofficer - the technology is plain daft - the dialogue and action isdrenched in the sort of syrupy saccharine emotion which seems todominate the American film industry - and, of course they all 'lurve'each other at the end- The house collapses but the corpse's makeup isintact and the little boy finds his crash helmet before he takes hisbicycle out on the freeway! One of the cast prays at the end and so, Isuspect, does the producer!

Columbus, OH

SPOILERSThis is quite possibly the worst made for TV movie I have ever seen. Ofcourse it is still fresh in my mind. I have chuckled all day whilethinkingof it. I think I'd even watch it again because it was such an unwittingcomedy. The portrayal of women in this little fiasco is by far the mostnaÃ¯ve and immature rendering that I've seen in quite a while. We aretreatedto the irrational ex-girlfriend who dumped her fiancÃ© because he wouldn'tset a date who is furious that he's dating girls who hate her. Granted Iknow women who are like this, but I am really tired of this same personrepresenting my gender in Hollywood. The kind of women who demand anexplanation before they will step away from the explosive device set to gooff in 2 seconds. The character does this when asked to leave town andinstead of obeying her father she has to run down to the department anddemand an explanation. We're also treated to the shift supervisor whowantsto leave her post to go in search of her son in the middle of a meltdown.She also cleverly leaves the phone, their only contact with the NRC, in theopen doorway so it can get sucked out when the second tornado hits. Thereare some movies that are so bad they make me angry this really wasn't oneofthem. I laughed a lot. I really enjoyed the part where they have to shutdown the main reactor manually. The shift supervisor, the man who thinksshe only got the job because she is a woman, and some idiot wearing a KissT-shirt who must have been someone's relative to get the job. If nuclearplants are really run by these kinds of people we better all start diggingshelters. They go to shut down the main reactor and the main supervisorshows up to tell them they have 3 minutes to do it or he locking them in.They react by staring at each other. It cuts to scenes of other peopledoingstuff and back to themÂ.still staring at each other and shuffling theirfeet. It gets down to 1 minute and the old guy pipes in that he will do itsince he screwed up and shut down the electric pumps. The two react bygoingÂ.ok and hauling ass. I was gasping for breath at this point. The bestpart was the tornado that snuck up on a guy. He was on his cell phoneasking if anyone had issued a tornado watch or warning and turns aroundthere is a tornado coming right at him. So the shift supervisor comesacrosshim feels for a pulse and then just leaves him lying there. This ispre-meltdown stage. This is supposedly someone she knows and works with andshe leaves his body outside the building and goes about her business. Ifyouget a chance, and have nothing else to do, be sure to catch this cinematictriumph.

Where's the DVD

I loved this movie but then again I am a natural disaster freak. Movieslike these are my favorite type. I think that it could have been betterbut when a movie is made for TV people tend overlook the fact thatthere could have been more done to increase the worth of the movie. Ithink that Mark-Paul did a good job as a cop and Sharon Lawerence wasbelievable as the shift manager. They could have added a bit more tothe movie and made the movie a lot more powerful and gripping. Oneminute the plant is in complete danger and the next they have theanswer and things going to be OK. They should have played up thedisaster a bit more. It may not be the most popular movie for adultsbut for young adults and teens this is a great movie for them to watchand my daughter loves it. Over all the movie was very good and forpeople 13to 30 it is a great movie and I would give it a B. I would betempted to give it a higher grade if they would just release it on DVD.Shows worse than this manage to make DVD why can't this one.

Insults average person's intelligence

From Meteorology to Nuclear Physics, this film shows complete disregardfor basic common sense. One security guard on duty at a nuclear powerplant? How long can one tornado stay on the ground? It takes fourpeople to run a reactor? Sharon Lawrence over acts at every opportunityand not entirely sure why her blouse is one size too small. It is soobvious that the film is written and produced by people who areprejudiced against nuclear power. Every aspect of the power plant'soperation are made up and so far from truth that I wonder if it is moreof a vehicle to persuade people to reject completely nuclear power,than a film with some artistic liberties. I laughed most of the waythrough the film. It would have earned more stars from me if they hadbeen honest and listed the film as a comedy.

What in the..............

You would think at least one bonehead who decided that this movie was agoodidea could have thought to ask someone from the weather service, a policeofficer, and someone from the nuclear industry a few basic questions.If this was intended to scare and/or stir up controversy, it needed to bedone in such a way that made people believe that it could really happen.This was absolute nonsense.The only way I would watch this again is if Mystery Science Theater 3000ranit. But those guys would be laughing too hard to make anycomments.

Let's scare the public about nuclear power.

This is without a doubt the most propaganda styled movie about nuclearpowerI have ever seen! So many catch phrases were used, you'd think someonewrotethe script from a stack of bumper stickers! Anyone who is dumb enough tobelieve anything in this movie deserves to be lied to.

Tornadoes terrorize Tennessee.

A TBS Production for TV that kind of falls short. A series of powerfultornadoes threaten to destroy a nuclear power plant in Tennessee. Some ofthe F/X are interesting, more interesting than the story itself. SharonLawrence is the unrealistic hero; but she looks oh so good running around ina white tank top trying to save the plant. Also impressive is the eagerMark-Paul Gosselaar as the whipping boy of the police unit. Also in the castare Corbin Bernsen and Fraser McGregor. My favorite scene is where McGregor,who plays Lawrence's son, tricks his buxom baby sitter into playing a gameof Twister so he can look down her blouse. Scenes at the power plant aremade to look so technical they lose realism. Hardly enough to get your bloodto pumping.
