Jamie Marshall (Kelly McGillis) is a "storm chaser" who, having lost her husband in a crash after his plane was struck by lightning, recklessly throws herself into her work. Sent by her boss to Colorado to investigate the cause of a devastating tornado, she meets Will Stanton (Wolf Larson), Field Coordinator for FEMA. One night, while working closely together examining the wreckage of the recent storm, Jamie and Will experience a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon - a ball of lightning falling from the sky connecting with the ground all around them. As Will tries to shield Jamie from the lightning, the two embrace and find themselves in a passionate kiss. The next day Jamie and Will return to the location. What they discover is a facility where waste from scientific experimentation is affecting the atmosphere causing the tornadoes. Armed with the new information and seven new tornadoes on the horizon, Jamie and Will prepare the already tornado ravaged town for another possible disaster!

Jacomedi A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Leofwine_draca STORM CHASERS: REVENGE OF THE TWISTER - ludicrous sub-title aside - is your generic Canadian-shot TV movie without an ounce of wit or originality to recommend it. It's a sub-standard copy of, surprise surprise, TWISTER, with Kelly McGillis taking on the role of the dedicated storm chaser who doesn't let family bereavement get in her way of going after the big one.This doesn't even have the decency to be as fun and cheesy as a SyFy Channel or Asylum movie, because there's barely any disaster material to be had from it. For most of the time we get characters chatting and occasionally arguing, which makes for a boring viewing experience. The worst thing about STORM CHASERS is the quality of the writing, which is very bad indeed and mishandles all of the characters in the story. And the special effects are so poor that they're kept off screen for the most part. Nobody will be 'chasing' this film, that's for sure.
Brucey D Well the plot premise was at least interesting, and there are some good actors there (if not quite as much good acting...) but when all is said and done this is a TVM where their grasp is always likely to be more than their reach, as it were.Kelly McGillis (of 'Top Gun' and 'Witness' fame) at least made this TVM worth watching and I suppose that ladies might say the same of Wolf Larson. The (predictable) love interest between them doesn't seem quite believable though.The SFX are of the standard you might expect from TVMs of the period, i.e. somewhat unrealistic, but certainly not the worst I have ever seen. It is all quite watchable, if not quite believable.However I confess that the things that, for me, made this worth watching a second time were undoubtedly the moments of unintentional humour. For example; McGillis' (allegedly outdoorsy, independent, storm chaser type) character manages to pitch only the inner part of her tent, badly, and then seems surprised when it blows away in the first whiff of a breeze.Later, I confess that Larson's line "I preferred the ball light(e)ning" did made me snigger in a puerile fashion. I may even have ventured that this would be a sentiment shared by many men of a certain age...There are a few crimes against good movie-making committed here (to which a cry of "book 'em, Danno " would seem strangely appropriate), but it isn't that bad; I mean, I could go on, but I won't; for all it's flaws this is a fairly watchable TVM and if you are a fan of either lead actor, or have an interest in weird weather then you will happily watch this I am sure, even if it might be for the wrong reasons.
disdressed12 i didn't really like this movie.i found it too boring and slow,without much of a pay off.also,to me it was more of a romance movie than anything.there are a couple good scenes of some twisters,but not enough.the acting was okay,i guess, but not spectacular.of all the movies of this genre i've watched,this is one of the slowest.if you do watch this movie,be prepared to sit through some really slow scenes before the action begins.and once the action begins,it is all too brief.i would'nt say this movie is atrocious,because i have seen a lot of worse movies in my time.however,i will say that this movie just didn't do it for me.i'd have to give 'Storm Chasers:Revenge of the Twister' 4/10
Xfilecw This is my favorite movie of all time. Not only is Wolf Larson one of the hottest guys on the planet, but the movie gets better every single time that I see it. This is they only movie that I rent all the time. Thanks for making this great movie!
