Review of Into the Storm (2014) by Jason N — 19 Dec 2014
I love Twister and disaster movies in general. Even the bad ones I can give a pass because I just really like Mother Nature giving mankind a whooping. This film had me excited because its another tornado movie on the big screen that didn't involve The Asylum or SyFy Channel and it has Thorin, how could it be bad? The answer is pretty bad which disappoints me a lot.
Good: The tornado scenes were pretty cool. The effects were impressive and the destruction on display was well done. The climax with the giant tornado was exciting featuring a scene that is both ridiculous and awesome. I also want to give Matt Walsh props for giving the best performance and having the best character.
Bad: Even for a disaster movie, it was really weak. I don't look for deep storytelling or even great characters, but all the characters here are really one note or straight up clichés. No one is really interested and suck the fun out of the movie when the tornadoes are out of the picture. The comedy fell flat and it all just felt like a bad SyFy disaster movie with a bigger budget.
Overall, I wanted to like this, but aside from some fun tornado scenes, it was very generic and not that fun.
