When a tornado appears in the waters south of Boston, former storm chaser Joe Randall is intrigued by the unusual weather. But as twisters begin to strike across the Boston shoreline, Joe quickly realizes this is no ordinary storm front. As the storms threaten to move inland, the citizens of Boston find themselves trapped in a tempest turning deadlier by the minute. With the city under siege, Joe, his sister Maddy and his old storm chasing partner Lee realize they re dealing with a never before seen weather phenomenon known as Stonados. The only chance of stopping the storm is an untested theory about weather manipulation... the same theory that Joe has been trying to prove for over a decade. But with the storm spreading and threatening the entire Eastern Seaboard as well as Joe s children who are trapped in a storm-besieged stadium Joe and his motley crew will have to give it a try, either saving the world... or accelerating its destruction!

"Look out, look out! Watch it, watch!"
The best thing about this movie is the dopey title: Stonados.The movie involves a science teacher who spends more time trying to track down his own disobedient offspring rather than teach someone else's kids how to make a model volcano erupt. When the first mysterious flying rock squishes a basketball player, naturally his cop sister calls him as an undisputed expert in strange phenomenon. They're soon joined by a giddy weather dude who used to be an old friend (he spends most of the movie grinning like an idiot, as if he was in on some colossal joke we don't know about......yet). Before you can say, here comes another one, rocks are flying everywhere, killing people in a cartoonish fashion (one minute they're chatting with someone, the next minute they're gone and you see neither the stone that took them out nor their body). It's a civilized way of dispatching people; no fuss no muss. Naturally, it's up to these three people to save humanity from instant killer storms that hurl stones. They even have a theory as to why this mayhem is happening, some yappity-yappity explanation about volcano debris and frozen ozone droplets. (The least interesting aspect of these outrageous sci-fi flicks is the wild explanations as to why any of these impossible things are happening.) Don't care; just bring on the carnage. Seriously, authenticity is not the reason I watch and collect these ridiculous disaster flicks. The only prerequisite I demand is that they have to be incredibly stupid. I live for bad movies. This one did not disappoint.

Never sell any/same movie for one price and sell it for a different price.
I like the simple fact that I could purchase this movie. But what I didn't like was the price of the movie. I had to pay $24.99 and when I purchased the movie I saw the same movie $11.99. Now that was messed up. Stonados is one of my favorite SYFI movies.

Bad to the Bone ... but great fun to watch
This is a great movie to watch with friends. Trash talk the movie, throw some popcorn and get ready to laugh. Some of the acting is achingly bad, the special effects not always special, and the plot is tread bare ... which is why we loved it.Sometimes I get tired of watching movies so intensely real that you feel as if you'll need PTSD drugs and therapy for having watched it! (Did anyone else have trouble watching Dredd? All that blood, in slow motion ... YIKES!!!)The thing about these types of movies, is that EVERYONE knows it's fake, and the odds are against anything like this ever happening in the real world. Thank God. With earthquakes, acid rain, global warming and Fukushima Daiichi radiation to worry about ... I could use some comic relief!

This movie - so ridiculously good!! Who knew Plymouth Rock was really a gigantic boulder that could keep wreaking havoc time after time in apparently the exact same tornado?? Mediocre acting coupled with really pretty good special effects makes the movie pass quickly even though it's the same standard tornado disaster plot - they appear - they disperse their damage - the disappear - all said and done - it's worth it!!

entertaining enough
Cheesey, guilty pleasure if you're in the mood for lots of extras running (and with some smiling) in every direction. Moved along, fun enough.

Held the interest with unique idea
Clever idea. I didn't feel so "boxed in" unlike other disaster movies with sets that look like garages, and towns with just two stores, one house and a gas station that blows up. No, this opened up the action with large scenes of interesting buildings and actual crowds of people. The special effects served enough to get the message across and the cast kept things going, with thoughtful performances.

I like Syfy...
I like the actors the were convincing enough! The Plymouth Rock was a touch too much! But all in all storyline was some what believable! Exploding rocks due atmospheric anomalies due to the changes in the ozone along with sea bed volcano eruptions changing the low atmosphere was something I don't quite grasp but ok. It was entertaining still.

Just for disaster fans.
As I have stated in other reviews, only because I am an avid disaster movie fan however cheaply made.
