anyone who complain about peter jackson make movie too long should sit through this cbs event . there about 45 minute of story pad by 2 hour of unnecessary subplots and feature bland by the book tv drama clichés . bad science be a staple for crappy weather disaster movie and so i be not go to complain about that . silly science can be fun to watch if it execute in an amusing fashion . what kill this movie be it 10 subplots . all of which could be excise without destroy what be suppose to be the central plot . the one character that be entertain to watch in category 6 be tornado tommy and despite be a very annoying stereotype . note that i also do not bother comment on special effect . their quality should come a no surprise . not recommend .
