Devlin (Toby Wynn-Davies) is the head of a team that are investigating tornados, hoping to harness their power to be used in a way to benefit humanity. The trouble is that it doesn’t seem like they really know what they’re doing, and when a tornado takes one of Devlin’s team away and it catches fire, it becomes far more dangerous than anyone anticipated.

Pierce Moore (Daniel Godfrey) is a man with a dark past, he lives alone and that’s just how he likes it. However, his past is about to catch up with him as a gang of criminals invade his house and want the information that he has. The likelihood of both of these threads coming together is rare, but stranger thing have happened.

Firenado is a natural disaster movie directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield and Scott Jeffrey who have garnered some attention for their upcoming movie, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Until that onslaught of your wholesome childhood memories being ruined occurs though, Frake-Waterfield and co. have put together a generic twister movie to keep you entertained.

Unfortunately, if this is the pique of their imagination of what they can do with a very limited budget, then their most famous creation may be a huge disappointment.

The problem with natural disaster movies is budget, the types that you love to see on the big screen such as Twister, Volcano and San Andreas have all been designed with the effects and stunts in mind to give then audience a thrill. It doesn’t even matter that there is very little plot or characterisation.

However, if you have no budget and a big idea then your characters and plot better be interesting enough to watch. This is where Firenado falls short, because it feels very much like the production was aware of its limitations, but didn’t have enough of a good story or characters to keep things going.

There is a certain amount of fun to be had with it though as you can imagine the likes of Christopher Lloyd, Jason Statham and even Jack Black making appearances that the movie seriously wanted to evoke. However, with a hero who delivers his lines like he’s been dubbed by another actor and characters that nobody cares about, Firenado is about as forgettable as it should be.
