In the span of a single day, the town of Silverton is ravaged by an unprecedented onslaught of tornadoes. The entire town is at the mercy of the erratic and deadly cyclones, even as storm trackers predict the worst is yet to come. Most people seek shelter, while others run towards the vortex, testing how far a storm chaser will go for that once-in-a-lifetime shot. Told through the eyes and lenses of professional storm chasers, thrill-seeking amateurs, and courageous townspeople, “Into the Storm” throws you directly into the eye of the storm to experience Mother Nature at her most extreme.

It's got a typical disaster movie type feel to it, but that's not a bad thing at all. My only complaint is that it's designed to work as a found footage movie, but is too large scale to actually give that effect (which might be a good thing for some). Obviously it's not the type of film you'd compare to Titanic or something with a deeper story line, but it does what it sets out to do so 4 stars for what it is.

One of the most ridiculous movies I have ever seen. And it's about such a serious subject at that. What a joke this movie makes of a phenomenon that kills many people each year just here in the US. I have had everything taken by a tornado. So to see such a playful use of such a terrible event is a direct slap in the face. I really thought this movie would have been a little more serious and honest. But hey, what should I have honestly expected, it's Hollywood after all.

It's a fun movie. If you enjoy Twister (1996) it's about 80% that and 20% found footage movies. The plot is predictable: Escalate the tornado EF scale until you get a some sort of apocalypse tornado, but the effects were well done, acting was solid, and it's definitely worth a watch. Go in with an open mind and enjoy some of natures patented CGI carnage.
