if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Dolph Lundgren stars as Air Force pilot ace Jack Halloway, a family man and all around tough guy who finds himself involved in a conspiracy which involves a stealth plane that can tip the scales in the arms race and such has been stolen, not by a foreign competitor but by American War mongers who have been passed up for promotions and ignored by their country in this deadly boring Lundgren flick. Dolph Lundgren has made some fun B.movies but Storm Catcher isn't one of them. Starting with the lack of action, not much happens and the majority of such takes place on an air plane. Such would be acceptable if the dogfights were fun (Via Top Gun, Iron Eagle, Blue Thunder etc) but these are woefully boring. The story is completely boring and clichéd with bland villains and lame conspiracy subplots that go nowhere. As for Lundgren he clearly looks bored here, he refuses to act and barely puts any effort in filming his fight sequences. The best thing one can say is that there is some graphic violence that threatens to make the movie sort of interesting (usually because of it being hokey) but this is just a dull movie all around. With Lundgren's resurgence on the big screen, one can look at this movie as a personal low in Lundgren's career. Indeed something like The Punisher, Showdown In Little Tokyo and Universal Soldier were ridiculous movies, but they were fun. Storm Catcher on the other hand is just ridiculous.* out of 4-(Bad)

I was going to offer serious comments on just how terrible this movie is, and how many ludicrous technical errors it contains. But I can't. It's just stupid, stupid, stupid. A more enjoyable time can be had by turning on the water in the kitchen sink and watching it trickle down the drain. Or see how many light bulbs you can hold in your mouth. Or pick your nose and look at it with a magnifying glass. Anything beats this movie. Anything.

This is dismal. A very weak cast offers predictably poor performances, and a very weak story about some sort of military conspiracy by a secret Special Operations force against the US Government simply serves to confuse the viewer, because it's impossible to really sort any of this out. Obviously recognizing the inherent (and huge) flaws in all of this, the writers choose to inundate us with extreme violence, mega shootouts, stabbings, etc., but it all just adds up to a dreadful movie and a waste of time for anyone who makes the mistake of watching it.1/10

Need I say more? In several of the slow-mo gun fighting scenes you can actually see the silencers on the guns bend and wobble! In slo-mo! Close-up! What were they thinking when they decided that not only were those scenes to remain in the film, but that they should slow them down to make it easier to see the gaffes!Add to that extremely bad (painful!) acting, a thin plot, and some highly implausible physics (continuing to fly the plane after ejecting one of the seats!), and you get a really bad movie.It wasn't bad enough to just switch off, mind you, but then again I'll watch practically any movie.The only saving grace, that gets this movie a 2 instead of a 1, was the rather cool footage of the stealth bomber.
