Please don't tell me you rate a movie like this based on scientific accuracy!
It's a made for TV action thriller type movie called Atomic Twister for crimeny's sake.
I personally love this move because it has all of the things I look for in a movie like this, and I'm surprised at how clueless so many reviewers are for not understanding this movie and judging it for what it is.
1) Things go bad. Then while trying to figure those things out, things go from bad to worse. Rinse and repeat at least twice more for a really good movie. This classic movie maxes out the "things-go-bad-a-meter!!!!
2) Sorry ladies but it's a man's world when it comes to these kinds of movies so guess what #2 is? And I don't mean bowel movements. Yes that's right, babes. This movie has 3 built in mega-babes IMO. Sharon Lawrence is proof of the existence of a higher being, period. The baby sitter playing twister? Seriously? That little boy is my doppelganger I swear. He's a frigging genius. And the sheriff's daughter, oh yeah!
3)The authorities always act like they're god, and anyone below them better quake in their shoes when they speak. Uh huh, sure, that kind of attitude always works out so well for them.
4) Last one. There's always a super genius guy, or rarely even a gal, who has been wronged by the system and sets out to vindicate themselves by making at least one really stupid move. That puts everyone else in danger.
All of those requirements are in full force here and its pure entertainment from start to finish.
Sorry but anyone who actually tries to take this seriously, and claims to for instance be a physicist or work in the atomic energy field need not comment here because you're just plain missing the point, and just plain wrong.
Seriously, to paraphrase William Hurt in The Big Chill. "Sometimes you just have to let art flow over you." This one flows over me just fine because I don't take it seriously; I take it the way they meant it to be taken, as a fun crazy sometimes silly joyride. One that makes me very happy every time I watch it. Heed my advice and enjoy people, it's only a silly movie.
