I love a good disaster movie, this was, well not all that good but not terrible, just very B movie-ish. For some reason I was expecting more. Its on the level of a made for TV Sy Fy movie just with a bigger budget for special effects, following fearless storm chasers who risk their lives in order to collect data on an unprecedented weather pattern that unleashes multiple tornados on a small town, meanwhile the terrified locals race for shelter at the local high school. Unfortunatly there also aren't any interesting characters to get invested in here, everyone is pretty bland, the two boys and the high school dad moderately caught my attention and the teens trapped in the collapsed paper mill filling with water but it wasn't anything I hadn't seen before. There are also randomly a couple of Walking Dead alumni in the cast with Sarah Wayne Callies and the chick from Fear Alycia Debnam-Carey.The formulaic storyline doesn't help, its just there to tie all the tornados together so that the whole thing becomes totally forgettable, like a cheap Twister without Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton to care about. I've seen it all before, dull.I will say the fire tornado was very cool.

Into the storm was a very decent movie. I am a huge weather lover and enthusiast anyways, so most severe weather movies (Especially Tornados) catch my attention quick at the theaters or during trailers. From the start of the movie, we are already witnessing some events that could happen for a tornado to form. The synopsis of this movie is to master exactly what a lot of tornado and storm chasers are already doing their best to accomplish (Lead Time shortening, understanding how the funnel works, how they produce, etc.), and to show people what could happen at anytime when a tornado warning is issued or coming your direction. No the tornadoes in this film are not the most realistic looking on screen, however, the idea is to perceive and get a dose of reality when mother nature comes looming and knocking on your door. The actors and actresses did extremely well with their parts, including the two red-neck nerds that act like they are playing "Dukes of Hazard" with every tornado they see. Also, the Titus armored vehicle in the screenplay was really, really cool. I love how this film played with the type of cinematography of the live interviews, and how all the actors and the film crew were taking the shots from the cameras on phones, tripods, and the storm chasing team. I in fact know tornadoes are very random, the biggest downer for me was how quick the tornadoes would appear. I do not know if an EF-5 Tornado can actually pick up a humongous Boeing plane, or more than one like we saw towards the end of the movie.Compared to 2 other tornado movies I have seen when I was younger, not 25, around 7-10 years old I believe, this one beats one of the movies that comes to mind first of the two; Night of the Twisters. Released back on 2/11/1996. Night of the Twisters was my very first tornado movie back in 1999. As a younger kid, the destruction and force of what the tornadoes did, was still pretty shocking. However, the biggest disappointment was the tornadoes, and the way they did look and were portrayed. Overall, Into the Storm Vs. Night of the Twisters was an easy battle won. Honestly though, it was 1996 when Night of Twisters released. So old technology will definitely show all the flaws against the CGI and Green screen. The other movie was released on 5/10/1996 featuring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, the title: Twister. Now both directors were different for Night of the Twisters and Twister. Twister was directed by Jan De Bont (Also directed the movie Speed with Actor Keanu Reeves) Twister was a thrill of a movie, and for 1996 for Mr. De Bont, the tornadoes were very realistic in every seen, including towards the end with the EF- 5 tornado. The movie soared me even higher to love weather and it's properties. The destruction, things flying around, debris all looked as real as they could get with the film. So who wins battle for the better movie? into the Storm or Twister? Oddly enough, both movies come quite close together on realism, and tornado properties. All the actors and Actresses to both movies were stellar with performance. On top still comes Twister over Into the Storm, due to the dislike of the random, wild, way the tornadoes were randomly appearing and spawning in Into the Storm:Final Summary of Into the Storm - Overall RATING: 8/10 stars Storyline/Synopsis RATING: 10/10 Realism and Graphics RATING: 6.5/10 Actors/Actresses performance RATING: 9/10

Because crazy special effects have become the norm, we are back to judging movies on whether they tell a good story. This is about as clichéd and predictable as can be. It starts out well with an incredibly drive, myopic leader of a storm chasing team, near the end of his rope because it has been so long since he got anything on film. We also have the too busy dad whose sons resent him because he demands too much of them. Isn't that sad. Of course, he lost his wife at some point. And the female lead lost her husband. And, well. The one boy gets the courage up to ask the hot girl have anything to do with him and they end up in danger. The storm chaser guy is responsible for the death of a kid and then he will die in a heroic way righting his wrong. The storm scenes are intense but we must remember that many of them are there because of their chosen profession. And finally, it has that sappy, syrupy ending, blah, blah, blah. It has excitement and it's very loud, but it's just not a very good film.

Like a lot of comedy movies, the best parts were definitely in the trailer for this film.The tornadoes are by far the best parts of the film starring alongside characters that you couldn't care less about.There is a little awesome nod to Twister in the film with a fake cow flying through the air.It's a predictable movie with no real story; just a lot of running back and forth, it does have some impressive scenes and some awesome special effects but Twister was a lot better!No real loss if you don't watch it. I won't be watching it again.
