Lightning: Fire from the Sky (2001)
Unbelievable!
To call this movie anything but fantasy would be wrong. From the start to the end every fact of science is ignored just to make this movie. Where to start? First, lightning does not lope along power lines - it moves at nearly the speed of light. Second, power lines are protected from lightning. Lightning does not bounce around inside of buildings and randomly hit people. Lightning cannot travel through water pipes and come out of faucets. Lightning strikes the tallest object, not the ground randomly. A car struck by lightning does not have its tires melt. There is no generator towed by a pick up that can power an entire hospital, let alone through an extension cord. Propane is not stored in vertical tanks. And the kid's rocket couldn't lift the weight of the wire more than a few feet. Watch this movie as a disaster - not as a disaster movie.
Windtalkers (2002)
An Insult
This movie is an insult to the Native Americans who served as code talkers during the War. It should be retitled "Nicholas Cage - A Self Serving Piece of Trash."
This is too bad, as had it been faithful to the book and to history, this could have been a very inspirational and positive movie. The battle scenes are worse than any of the WWII movies starring John Wayne, et al; as pointed out there are just too many scene where people escape from what should have been a deadly situation. This movie ranks with "Pearl Harbor" as one of the most disgusting fictionalizations of history ever put on the screen.
