HEAT WAVE is one of these movies produced to fill up the schedules of the SyFy Channel . It's one of those tired plots of " scientists race against the clock to avert an eco disaster " hoping the audience will be biting their nails on the outcome . If this was a big budget thriller with good production values it might have been salvable but we're watching a TVM which means you'll be stifling a yawn and pointing out the inaccuracy contained in the whole movie
This is an extremely clumsy film that gives the impression that the director is making an entirely different one that the screenwriter wrote . Right from the outset we're told the tempreture is rising and rising in Los Angles so much so that the city will be uninhabitle within a few hours . It's a good example of the screen writing rule of " show don't tell " being broken and even the meanest mind will notice the fact that despite it being unbelievably hot characters walk around with suits and ties on despite it being 130 degrees faranheit
Perhaps the worst sin of HEAT WAVE is that it gives out the ending early on in the film where characters discuss " ice crystals which if you put in to clouds will cause a torrential downpour " . The fact that there doesn't appear to be any clouds about in order to make this work or that rain won't decrease atmospheric tempretures to a bearable level in itself remains unexplained
