I found this to be a really boring disaster movie that I watched. The idea on combining a nuclear meltdown and hurricane isn't a bad idea and could show how much in danger the characters are in. But the results are pretty bad. The whole nuclear meltdown is really boring since its more of a waiting game with two characters trying to deal with this AI while waiting for someone. The AI is the worst part about the movie since it won't shut up and keep repeating lines throughout. And isn't that smart since it the one who almost cause the disaster. The hurricane part feel like a afterthought since it not brought up that much and there is no danger from it. Even they added in things that has no purpose like the pregnant woman. Also, the minor plotline with that business guy is completely forgotten near the end of the movie. The characters are mostly bland and doesn't have anything interesting about them. And the acting itself feel stiff and some feel like it dub in. The ending ends abruptly and is disappointing.
Nuclear Hurricane is best forgotten and should not be watched.

One cliché after another that fuels some awful acting. There is a lame attempt at a lesbian relationship, that would make any lesbian cringe. The programmer keeps trying to hit on the heroine, her partner, the sheriff. There is a hurricane and the probability of a nuclear plant meltdown, yet the 'maintenance man' is more concerned with eating and his lunch break - right up to the last five minutes of this disaster. A woman gives birth in a barn in the middle of a hurricane and immediately thereafter is able to run briskly up the road to a house as if she had just made toast where she, the sheriff, and the clueless programmer are met with, "oh a baby!" I won't waste the reader's time writing about the dreadful writing, acting, editing, production (de)-values in this waste of film. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Its a movie trying to be serious but becomes laughably bad. A movie that's fun to make fun of.
Saw it on Prime, had a sandwich and diet coke. Thought I was on a coaster of a ride, but never thought I was seeing a crash. First 10 minutes was a thing about a helicopter rescue gone bad, never would think that was the best part of the movie. I love stinker movies, but this is very hard to watch.
Great premise and plot let down by poor writing and directing of a somewhat weak cast. Many plot points just didn't tie together. Nothing else to say.
