SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

bombersflyup 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.

stevenmoritz 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

Hitchcoc 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.

EBJ Overall: A lazy, boring atrocity and is just a bad movie with little to redeem it.Good: The visuals are actually quite good and the destruction looks quite cool.Bad: The characters were just bland and unlikeable blobs that run the story. You don't care at all about them and couldn't care less if they survive or not. I have no idea how these people got the part; it actually baffles me. The plot was so stupid and had an over abundance of stupid, unlikeable characters to drag on a leash. It is very clichéd and so boring. The cinematography was bad rapidly switching between found footage and professional camera-work which is just frustrating.Best Part: The destruction scene at the airport was incredible and truly showed the potential of this movie.MVP: Matt Walsh as Pete4/10
