Don't listen to the negative reviews

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Blistering performances.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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.

If your preference is Natural Disaster films, I could understand why this movie would be amongst your favourites.Into The Storm is what a natural disaster movie generally always is. However, admittedly, there were moments where tension was well executed, and, the visuals were, well above par.Another aspect I appreciated about this movie, was; even though it's equipped with the usual clichés such as a broken family needing to reconnect, it also tried avoiding the Eye of others, especially given how well within the path of that vortex it was.Naturally, it seems, given this genre; There really is no story to speak of. The only story is really, Donnie's brief explanation of why his family is in slight turmoil. However with that said, one has to think much of the director/studio in regards to keeping this film in and around the 90 minute mark.Sadly though, the editing at many points, leaves little to be admired. It leaves you feeling like something is missing from the movie, instead of it expressing the necessity to not have to linger.The score, was enjoyable, but wrong or misplaced in this movie. Brian Tyler is an awesome composer, but this score belonged in a Michael Bay, D.J. Caruso or Peter Berg type of flick.Had Donnie died, it would've been a definite 7/10... It would've been the storm's twist, to the story we always knew it would tell. However though, Donnie didn't die; and as much as I'd love to give this film a 7, 6.7/10 it'll have to be, that I'll round off to a 7 hanging on by a thread, because if Into The Storm was directed by Roland Emmerich, I know it would be a 6 maximum... But probably way worse.

Into The Storm(2014) Starring: Richard Armitage, Sarah Wayne Callies, Matt Walsh, Nathan Kress, Alycia Debnam Carey, Jeremy Sumpter, Kyle Davis, Brandon Ruiter Directed By: Steven Quale Review PREPARE TO GO I have to ask you all something, is this film a sequel, a remake or something to The Day After Tomorrow, because while that movie is one big pile of crap, I honestly think it's better then this mess. Granted their might be better storm disaster movies out there somewhere but if so I have not seen them, yet. This natural disaster film is about the town of Silverton is in one day destroyed by the unprecedented power of a series of tornadoes. The population is at the mercy of the unpredictable and deadly cyclones, while hunters warn that the worst is yet to come. Most people find shelter, but some just go to the tornado for that one, unique shot. The story I doubt you or anyone else will find interesting if you've seen The Day After Tomorrow or Twister then you have no business watching this cause it's the same damn thing with a generic lead and supporting cast. The film in no way accomplishes any sort of goal it might of had other then of course making the studio a couple of bucks,well here's a bright idea then since the film is directed by Steven Quale and the studio is New Line Cinema and Warner Brothers, which back in 2011 gave me my favorite entire in the final destination series why don't you just make me the amazing sequels I'm waiting for?! Because I'm still waiting! The performances are the worst, and for those of you who don't know Nathan Kress and Jeremy Sumpter are in this flick. Yeah you know that guy from Icarly who has a crush on Carly and Peter Pan. There performances were terrible due to the lousy script there given, I mean I knew they could be bad but I didn't know they would be this bad. The direction is absolute crap this time around, what happened Steven? First you gave me a sequel to a horror franchise I could only hope for but now you just sold out on me man. All of the elements of a good film are never present, and if you just well the special effects were cool, there freaking special effects you don't get invested or have a connection with that stuff. I give Into The Storm a half out of five.

Pete (Matt Walsh) leads a group of storm chasers in the armored Titus. He's frustrated with Allison (Sarah Wayne Callies) for missing another tornado that killed some Oklahoman teens. She directs them to the town of Silverton. The local high school is caught in the storm. Vice principal Gary Fuller (Richard Armitage) has his grumpy sons Trey and Donnie film for the school's time capsule. Donnie has a crush on Kaitlyn Johnston and takes off to help her film an abandoned paper mill. Donk and Reevis are local Jackass wannabes.Eighteen years before, Twister blew into the theaters. This one uses more modern CGI with lots of rain and destruction. Twister is not at an award-winning acting level but this one is at a lower level. The characters are less well-drawn and less compelling. Sometimes, the group makes some illogical moves. They leave their 'tank' and run outside ending up in a church. The point seems to be a guy getting swept up into a fire tornado. There is another flying cow but this one doesn't have its 'flying cow' moment. The CGI is probably bigger but it's not quite as memorable. Twister was ground breaking at the time but this one is only a few steps above a TV Sharknado movie.
