Where I Got It: Netflix

Summary: An oil rig accidentally drills into an underwater volcano, unleashing an unstoppable tornado! Indeed, the tornado gets so powerful that it picks up Navy cutters like tinker toys. Then it makes the sky rain oil, then fire. And somehow the oil rig does not get scooped up like Wizard of Oz... somehow. Additionally, the big tornado seems to hover in just one spot for almost the whole movie! Don't ask too many science questions. You won't get answers as to how the sky can catch on fire. You won't get answers about ships weighing hundreds of tons can get catapulted into the air. You won't get answers as to what nanotubes have to with bad weather. And you certainly won't get answers as to how an 18" drill bit can create... a Super Cyclone!

Review:

Another ridiculous Asylum disaster movie. The continuity errors in the first 10 minutes alone had me rolling with laughter. This is just so incredibly unbelievable. Somehow a drilling platform creates a super tornado somehow connected with a volcano. Yeah right! Notice that the summary is longer than my review. Basically this is horrid. Just an small example of the ridiculous: Repeatedly we are told there is a severe storm present, yet shots of the actors show them in clear sunny weather with well defined shadows. Last note: I remember when Ming-Na was on ER and could actually act. What the hell happened?
