Into the Storm is a pretty poor remake of "Twister," except devoid of feeling and triumph.You have several different stories about characters we simply cannot care about, that they're trying to make us care about and a bunch of cool tornadoes. In "Twister," along with the quality characters there is a sense of momentous achievement being witnessed and the strive for one's long journey to be reached, through all the heartache along the way. This film just kinda plots you in and says care about these people, well no I didn't. However it isn't unwatchable and is somewhat thrilling. I liked the tornado lifting the Pete character into the sky. He got to live out his dream, except he didn't get to share it and then plummeted to his death. If this was turned into an animation comedy, one of the smaller tornadoes would of come and tried to pick up the fat kid, but then required a second one to lift him, like Homer and the spaceship beams. :)The time capsule idea, while poorly executed in the film got me to thinking. Now if you knew someone did this time capsule thing you could really mess with them by putting something in the footage that they wouldn't find out for how ever many years. This idea may have already been done, but a quality premise for a film I'd say.

Having watched 'Twister' (which I thoroughly enjoyed) I was hesitant watching this, as I thought it was pretty much going to be a 'Twister' mockbuster. I couldn't have been more wrong. This was bloody awesome! I enjoyed everything about this film: the look and feel, the characters, the actors, the story, and the visual effects were FANTASTIC.The found-footage style filming blended with regular filming lent more realism to the story and characters. It really sold the story to me and believed the characters were really in the storm. The video time capsule idea was an interesting way of introducing the characters and their back stories. I thought that was very original. The film was super exciting and incredibly well done. Once the action starts, it doesn't let go until the awesome finale. This is the type of film I can watch again and again - even if it is just for the visuals, and the good story and acting is an added bonus.

This movie really took my by surprise, especially since I had initially expected to be another one of those mass-produced, questionable disaster movies with bad CGI effects, laughable acting and a lack of plot. But it turned out that "Into the Storm" was anything but that.This was really one of the best disaster movies that I have had the fortune of stumbling upon which I did by sheer random luck.The storyline was good, and it wasn't the usual small group of people beating Mother Nature with time running out and saving the entire world. So that was a refreshing change of pace.They had some really nice actors and actresses on the cast list, whom were doing great jobs in bringing their characters to life on the screen.Now what really blew me away was the CGI effects and the sound effects. It was just phenomenal. And I am thrilled to find movies like this to use with my sound system, as this movie really had some impressive sounds. The whole sound in itself was really a layer that added so much to the movie.If you enjoy disaster movies, then you should definitely give "Into the Storm" a go. It is rare that an outstanding disaster movie comes along, "Into the Storm" turned out to be one of those rare instances.

I normally do like disaster movies. Most of the time the story isn't a surprise, you just know what you will get before watching it. With Into The Storm it's the same. You know it's going to be about tornado hunters and that's basically what you get. So don't expect much more than a bunch of tornado hunters driving around to find a good spot (preferable right in the eye of the tornado) to study the ultimate monster tornado. A lot of disaster and damage, with a couple of casualties. That's what you get. But to me it was just not good enough. The computer generated images were not that good, you could clearly see that it's fake. The acting was also a bit dull and boring. Not good enough to be remembered.
