When an unidentified object is shot down over the waters of the Pacific Northwest, an excavation team is sent in to retrieve it. Moments later, a dark cloud spreads through the water and empty wetsuits rise up, floating ominously on the surface leaving no trace of the people behind. As Seattle officials inspect the debris, the sky grows turbulent, seemingly instigated by the smoke coming off the wreckage. Major Emma Peterson (Ona Grauer: V, Stargate Universe) is handed the task of identifying the threat and securing the city, while her fiancé, scientist Tom Reynolds (Esai Morales: Caprica, 24), keeps an eye on their two teenage children. However, the scientist in him is unable to ignore the strange occurrences taking place around him and he sends the teens home, unaware that he is putting them directly into the path of danger. Now the family must find each other in the midst of the chaos and work together to put a stop to the storm before it spreads beyond their control and annihilates the planet!

Good movie
Good movie, even though you can deduct what will happen or how it ends.

The world almost ends..........starting with Seattle.
I'm almost certain this could never happen. Those pesky Russians lobbed something into space eons ago and wouldn't you know it, it belatedly/suddenly heads for Seattle one rainy day and has to be shot down, which creates an even bigger mess, because there was a really bad experiment on-board. Thank goodness it happened on a day when scientist Tom (Esai Morales) and his intended (Ona Grauer as Lt. Cmdr. Emma) were in town with their bickering teens so they could handily save the world (and what was left of Seattle). And what a break, a Russian geezer (Jay Brazeau) happens to be passing by and it turns out that he's just the guy needed to explain the biological weapon they shot down. Too bad they first have to deal with a megalomaniac dope with a gun he's not afraid to use. He's miffed because they won't let him blow something up. How rude.I had oodles of fun watching this mess of epic proportions. The characters were all stock. Just about everyone is plucky. The dialog is very gung ho. Ona Grauer does macho like no one can or should. The story is fanciful. People run and scream. I saw more close-ups of shoes than I ever wanted to. At least it had a dandy moral: the family that saves together stays together!It's crap but it's funny crap.

They finally "thread" the the Seatle Sky Needle!
I ordered this today. I am a collector of schlocky disaster/monster/horror "B" movies from The Asylum and othercrank-'em-out-this-week movies. I prefer the titles that cost less than $13 [for superstitious reasons]. I cannot be-lieve that I missed THIS one (I just ordered it after searching previous orders).I'm popping some corn right now in anticipation of how CHEESY this will be. If it sucks, I'll edit this and tell you ALLabout it. After all, it DOES h-a-v-e Esai Morales in it. Bring it on!

Beware of Life From Another World
Great SyFy channel movie that I saw when first was on the SyFy channel. Great special effects, drama and a man made storm that should of never happen. This storm was some countries mad science project that some how in a sane moment saw the light and sent this horrible nightmare of man's doing into very deep space. Now we are safe...oh how they thought until the space craft drifted to earth and was pulled in by Earths gravity. You need to watch how the story is laid out

Playing off Seattle
Well, not for sure if this was fun because I live in Seattle and it was fun to connect with known scenery. Or - if it was another disaster film, this time placed in Seattle. There was a different spin but it didn't seem plausible as far as such quick outcomes. It would be fun for the teens and preteens though, because young people make major contributions in survival. It doesn't push the brain or stress much... so why not? Enjoy while conversing and having fun with friends over popcorn.

UFO or Russian made object?
A soon to be new family - mother (a Major in the service) with one daughter and father (a scientist) with one son will marry soon. The soon to be new family kids hate each other and don't want this marriage to take place. They are all in Seattle close to the Space Needle. The parents are teamed up to find out what this is and how to stop the heavy rains and hurricane-force winds before it annihilates the whole planet. It's a pretty good story.
