Plot Summary

When a rogue scientist's experiment to control the weather goes disastrously wrong, it unleashes a series of devastating super cyclones that threaten to obliterate the East Coast. A former Homeland Security agent must race against time to stop the scientist and save millions from the impending meteorological chaos.

Critical Reception

Super Cyclone was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike, often cited as a low-budget disaster film with weak special effects and a predictable plot. It is generally considered one of the weaker entries in the disaster movie genre.

What Reviewers Say

  • Widely panned for its unconvincing special effects and cheap production values.
  • Criticized for a generic and uninspired storyline that fails to deliver suspense.
  • Often labeled as a 'so bad it's good' movie, but generally not in an endearing way.

Google audience: Due to the lack of available data, a specific summary of Google user reviews is not available. However, given the film's low IMDb rating and general critical reception, it is highly probable that audience sentiment was also negative.

Fun Fact

The film was produced by The Asylum, a production company known for its low-budget "mockbuster" films, which are often released around the same time as major studio films with similar titles or themes. In this case, it was released shortly after the theatrical release of the film "Into the Storm" (2014), though "Super Cyclone" predates it by two years, suggesting it may have been aiming for a similar disaster movie audience.
