Thanks for the memories!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreInto 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.
View MoreAlmost TV movie. The wrath of goad in the twister dance. Twisters come and come again until there is no footage. Pretty good special effects and a visit to heaven. Silly but satisfies like godzilla.
View MoreI 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.
View Morethis movie are an amazing feature when it comes to the use of vfx technology.some of the scenes were so stunning, giving a sturdy man well overweight by tons of hours in front of the screen having to take a tight grip on the sofa cushion to avoid being absorbed by the tornado a smashing 10,er to that. the downdraft of the movie is terrible acting,caused by a terrible storyline and a terrible lack of insight of today's weather measurement devices, e.g. the 1950-style anemometer on the titus is a disgrace to all of us that has meteorology as a hobby or profession,even the cheapest weather station from DAVIS could outnumber that. also the setup of cameras on the titus were laughable,especially the globe cam near ground level aka ''splash cam''...... so giving this part of entertainment a 0 (zero),the median are a 5...... Twister are still the best....
