BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

paulclaassen Having watched 'Twister' (which I thoroughly enjoyed) I was hesitant watching this, as I thought it was pretty much going to be a 'Twister' mockbuster. I couldn't have been more wrong. This was bloody awesome! I enjoyed everything about this film: the look and feel, the characters, the actors, the story, and the visual effects were FANTASTIC.The found-footage style filming blended with regular filming lent more realism to the story and characters. It really sold the story to me and believed the characters were really in the storm. The video time capsule idea was an interesting way of introducing the characters and their back stories. I thought that was very original. The film was super exciting and incredibly well done. Once the action starts, it doesn't let go until the awesome finale. This is the type of film I can watch again and again - even if it is just for the visuals, and the good story and acting is an added bonus.

sergelamarche Almost TV movie. The wrath of goad in the twister dance. Twisters come and come again until there is no footage. Pretty good special effects and a visit to heaven. Silly but satisfies like godzilla.

stevenmoritz Into the storm was a very decent movie. I am a huge weather lover and enthusiast anyways, so most severe weather movies (Especially Tornados) catch my attention quick at the theaters or during trailers. From the start of the movie, we are already witnessing some events that could happen for a tornado to form. The synopsis of this movie is to master exactly what a lot of tornado and storm chasers are already doing their best to accomplish (Lead Time shortening, understanding how the funnel works, how they produce, etc.), and to show people what could happen at anytime when a tornado warning is issued or coming your direction. No the tornadoes in this film are not the most realistic looking on screen, however, the idea is to perceive and get a dose of reality when mother nature comes looming and knocking on your door. The actors and actresses did extremely well with their parts, including the two red-neck nerds that act like they are playing "Dukes of Hazard" with every tornado they see. Also, the Titus armored vehicle in the screenplay was really, really cool. I love how this film played with the type of cinematography of the live interviews, and how all the actors and the film crew were taking the shots from the cameras on phones, tripods, and the storm chasing team. I in fact know tornadoes are very random, the biggest downer for me was how quick the tornadoes would appear. I do not know if an EF-5 Tornado can actually pick up a humongous Boeing plane, or more than one like we saw towards the end of the movie.Compared to 2 other tornado movies I have seen when I was younger, not 25, around 7-10 years old I believe, this one beats one of the movies that comes to mind first of the two; Night of the Twisters. Released back on 2/11/1996. Night of the Twisters was my very first tornado movie back in 1999. As a younger kid, the destruction and force of what the tornadoes did, was still pretty shocking. However, the biggest disappointment was the tornadoes, and the way they did look and were portrayed. Overall, Into the Storm Vs. Night of the Twisters was an easy battle won. Honestly though, it was 1996 when Night of Twisters released. So old technology will definitely show all the flaws against the CGI and Green screen. The other movie was released on 5/10/1996 featuring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, the title: Twister. Now both directors were different for Night of the Twisters and Twister. Twister was directed by Jan De Bont (Also directed the movie Speed with Actor Keanu Reeves) Twister was a thrill of a movie, and for 1996 for Mr. De Bont, the tornadoes were very realistic in every seen, including towards the end with the EF- 5 tornado. The movie soared me even higher to love weather and it's properties. The destruction, things flying around, debris all looked as real as they could get with the film. So who wins battle for the better movie? into the Storm or Twister? Oddly enough, both movies come quite close together on realism, and tornado properties. All the actors and Actresses to both movies were stellar with performance. On top still comes Twister over Into the Storm, due to the dislike of the random, wild, way the tornadoes were randomly appearing and spawning in Into the Storm:Final Summary of Into the Storm - Overall RATING: 8/10 stars Storyline/Synopsis RATING: 10/10 Realism and Graphics RATING: 6.5/10 Actors/Actresses performance RATING: 9/10

Fallen Eye If your preference is Natural Disaster films, I could understand why this movie would be amongst your favourites.Into The Storm is what a natural disaster movie generally always is. However, admittedly, there were moments where tension was well executed, and, the visuals were, well above par.Another aspect I appreciated about this movie, was; even though it's equipped with the usual clichés such as a broken family needing to reconnect, it also tried avoiding the Eye of others, especially given how well within the path of that vortex it was.Naturally, it seems, given this genre; There really is no story to speak of. The only story is really, Donnie's brief explanation of why his family is in slight turmoil. However with that said, one has to think much of the director/studio in regards to keeping this film in and around the 90 minute mark.Sadly though, the editing at many points, leaves little to be admired. It leaves you feeling like something is missing from the movie, instead of it expressing the necessity to not have to linger.The score, was enjoyable, but wrong or misplaced in this movie. Brian Tyler is an awesome composer, but this score belonged in a Michael Bay, D.J. Caruso or Peter Berg type of flick.Had Donnie died, it would've been a definite 7/10... It would've been the storm's twist, to the story we always knew it would tell. However though, Donnie didn't die; and as much as I'd love to give this film a 7, 6.7/10 it'll have to be, that I'll round off to a 7 hanging on by a thread, because if Into The Storm was directed by Roland Emmerich, I know it would be a 6 maximum... But probably way worse.
