Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

BA_Harrison Admittedly, Into The Storm is almost identical in terms of story to Jan De Bont's 1996 disaster movie Twister, but it still manages to be an exhilarating ride thanks to its incredible special effects-laden tornado scenes which deliver jaw-dropping destruction on a massive scale.As with De Bont's film, the film revolves around a group of professional storm-chasers who are on a mission to film a tornado from the eye of the storm. Arriving in the small town of Silverton, Oklahoma, they experience a frightening meteorological phenomenon - multiple vortices that combine to create the biggest tornado on record.Director Steven Quale spends the first half an hour introducing his stock characters - the members of the storm-chasing team, the locals of Silverton to add emotional drama, plus a couple of thrill-seeking rednecks for comic relief - and then spends the remaining hour or so throwing them into life-threatening situations, with the occasional unfortunate being whipped into the sky never to be seen again.It's predictable, formulaic popcorn action for sure, but hugely entertaining nonetheless, with the chaotic wind-lashed finale providing satisfyingly catastrophic edge-of-the-seat thrills.

Graham Harvey I will admit that the special effects in this film are extremely impressive. From that angle, you are catapulted along with the story, but really? another movie about tornadoes??? And with the same tired formula: father has lost wife and teenage children have become distant from him. Enter disaster and challenge and they come to each others aid, and in so doing, become bonded again as family. "I love you Dad!" :-) Or the mean guy obsessed with making $$$ so much, that he risks the lives of others to get video of an approaching storm. But as I said, for effects, this film rocks!

Marshal Phipps Into the Storm is a fun thrill ride that quite literally takes you into the storm. The realistic visuals and accurate depiction of tornadoes are a big upgrade from the ones of twister. If you're a weather enthusiast and if you're wanting to watch the movie for just the action and not the characters I recommend you watch it, if not then you should watch Twister since you get both. While this film doesn't beat Twister, it does a nice job on not only reminding you of it, but also it does something new that should be appreciated as such.Overall while the film is weak on character development, the amazing special effects makes up for it.

EBJ Overall: A lazy, boring atrocity and is just a bad movie with little to redeem it.Good: The visuals are actually quite good and the destruction looks quite cool.Bad: The characters were just bland and unlikeable blobs that run the story. You don't care at all about them and couldn't care less if they survive or not. I have no idea how these people got the part; it actually baffles me. The plot was so stupid and had an over abundance of stupid, unlikeable characters to drag on a leash. It is very clichéd and so boring. The cinematography was bad rapidly switching between found footage and professional camera-work which is just frustrating.Best Part: The destruction scene at the airport was incredible and truly showed the potential of this movie.MVP: Matt Walsh as Pete4/10
