i hope that matt dorff original script for this be much good ( there be sign of it dialogue that should happen well before big f or x scene ( to introduce character ) that would make sense much early and be jam in later in the time line while perhaps the original script be for a longer running time . but maybe not in any case and this reek . every character be uninteresting and and everybody speak expository passage a if they be speak the word of god . there be character that be entirely expository dianne wiest secretary abbot be just awful and explain thing to her assistant ( and incidentally u ) and in endless speech that no one would say to anyone and ever and in real life ( when she isn not explain thing to her assistant that she already know and her assistant explain thing to her that she already know . _ there be character who be entirely one dimensional the evil power company guy while the pilot who will just not shut up about his personal life and concentrate on his job . the well mean power company superdooperuber hacker guy who can crasheverything in chicago ( include the phone ) and then give the oh no what have i do speech ( but not leave himself a back door . ) . the crusade reporter who abandon her principle at the drop of a hat . the power company shift supervisor who abandon his post in the middle of the bad crisis in chicago since the fire with no consequence . hospital abandon by the doctor and nurse during the crisis ( i be not kid and that in the movie . ) oh yeah and and it fill with hollywood morality clichés generally woman be good and men be evil and unless influence by a woman ( the ultimate be the punk with the gun deprive of a woman influence and he literally go insane ) while an evil stupid act ( like what the reporter do with hacker bozo ) be all right and so long a you amean well . evil men die and capitalist evil men die as horribly a possible and everybody else live ( well and except randy quaid ) . and do i hear someone say that the nuclear electrical power generate station have to shut down because there wasn not electricity to run the safety system ( think about that one ) . there be one ray of sunshine ( if you will pardon the expression ) randy quaid basically play his character from independence day ( you know hello boy i be baaaack . ) this time a a storm chaser with an infinite range suv and superdooper battery for his camcorder . nevertheless and they kill him mostly and it seem and so that the audience will appreciate that tornado be pretty dangerous thing ( kinda shallow and that . ) give this one a pas .
