Tornado Warning is as Syfy channel as it gets. It could be called the quintessential syfy channel film. It has TV movie production qualities, an all encompassing armchair science plot depriving mediocre characters of either development or intelligence or coherent sentences, there's a littler person, and also a government conspiracy to make things that extra bit special.
The majority of the runtime consists of said characters whining, moaning and complaining at one another whilst and alien possessed tornado occasionally pops up to remind us that this is not a drama on lifetime.
I don't know about this one. The story is sheer stupidity and it makes it hard to engage the film for very long. But, this is not a film that meanders that much. There are no stupid sub-plots that chew up running time or characters who are unbearably irritating. Every five minutes I drift back into the film, I am utterly surprised by finding out that the story has moved along and that I might have missed something. Something unbelievably stupid probably, but still, the film has pace. It's a good TV movie. Adequate background noise for when you're studying or something.
