As you probably know, the typical motion picture that's made with a connection to the SyFy network isn't exactly high art, and "Alien Tornado" is no exception. In fact, it's several notches below the level that would be considered "low art". One good thing about it was the performance by David Jensen, playing the creepy Armstrong character, who actually makes for a slimy villain. Actually, that is the ONLY good thing I can think about this movie. The movie suffers from poor direction, ranging from making a death of a character incomprehensible, to failing to make it clear a town has been decimated, a fact that we only find out in the following scene. And there is also terrible special effects, dumb dialogue, stupid character decisions. You name the problem, this movie has it. It's no wonder the SyFy network changed its name after several years of airing terrible movies like this - who wouldn't want to distance themselves?
