DH and I went to see "Into the Storm" yesterday as DH is somewhat of a storm chaser groupie (He loves all the shows about chasing tornadoes) but this movie was not good. I thought maybe they would make it like it was a ''mockumentary" kind of like a movie about storm chasers filming a movie, which it was, sort of, but oh my, just not realistic at all. I mean, how many times in one day can someone "almost" get sucked up by a tornado? Twister was LIGHT YEARS better, as was the actual IMAX movie made by Sean Casey, an actual storm chaser.
Bottom line, if you really want to see it - wait for the DVD.

Thanks for the review.
Funny, just yesterday I read an article online saying that this was going to be THE next big tornado movie since Twister.
I had really liked Twister.
I'll wait for this one.

Too bad! I was hoping it would be better than Twister.

Twister was a MILLION times better. There was so much more to the plot and the story. This one was LAME. I'm also not one for big suspense, and without spoiling it, there were just too many incidents of people thisclose to death. The only saving grace is that the CGI is pretty darn good, but Twister, even though its almost 20 years old, is a much superior movie. I got so pissed half way through I was going to leave and go shopping until it was done. It didn't help that I didn't really want to go in the first place. That's okay, because now DH owes me the chick flick of my choosing.  |

Sad to hear this, although I can't say I'm really surprised. Even the trailers for it were making me question how bad it might be. But I'll totally watch it when it hits cable. |

I loved it. LOL But I love any disaster movie. I didn't expect it to be realistic. My 9 year old said it was her new favorite.

I don't normally do the disaster type movies anyway, so I have limited experience with them. It just seemed kind of like a straight-to-cable or cable network created type movie (I remember a cable movie from a couple of years ago where a nuclear reactor was in the path of a tornado, or something like that) and not enough for a movie theater release. My DH seemed disappointed too, but not as much as I was...I think he still liked seeing the CGI of the tornadoes and such. He did mention at one point that they were trying to do a re-creation of sorts of another big tornado that hit in the past. |

Too funny. I just saw a trailer for it this weekend and it inspired me to watch Twister  . Guess I made the better choice! |

Was it cheesy like a sci-fi channel movie? Because if it was, it's right up my alley. But I'll wait for it to come out on Netflix or DVD.

 I just want to see it hoping the actress that played Lori on Walking Dead gets sucked into a tornado. I'll wait until it's on HBO/SHOWTIME. |
