Review of Into the Storm (2014) by Thequietgamer — 18 Dec 2014
It starts off slow with way too much of an emphasis on character drama and whatnot. You've got the high-school guy finally getting up the courage to talk to the girl he likes, the brothers with daddy issues, and a team of tornado chasers who haven't seen a tornado in a long time.
The film tries to get us to like and care about these characters before the chaos starts, but it isn't until the tornadoes show up that things get interesting. The tornadoes look amazing and so does the insane destruction they cause. It really is a treat for the eyes and honestly it's hard to believe that what you're seeing isn't real at times.
It's amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat. It feels like you're watching an apocalypse movie, and a really good one at that. It tries hard to stir up some emotions amongst the storm, but mostly falls short. These characters aren't bad, but the tornadoes are the real stars here. Still it is entertaining to watch them try and survive.
"Into the Storm" packs some insane thrills. Unbelievably great looking sights are brought to life by some of the best CGI I've ever seen. Seriously it puts the works of Peter Jackson to shame in this category. Overall it is definitely worth the watch and will provide for one awesome movie night.
