This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Twister isn't the best film ever, but In to the storm is a total waste of money. At first I actually liked this film! Good action and ok CGI! But I rewatched it and it sucks! The acting is trash, the only good thing is the CGI... it's a fun movie though..

This movie really took my by surprise, especially since I had initially expected to be another one of those mass-produced, questionable disaster movies with bad CGI effects, laughable acting and a lack of plot. But it turned out that "Into the Storm" was anything but that.This was really one of the best disaster movies that I have had the fortune of stumbling upon which I did by sheer random luck.The storyline was good, and it wasn't the usual small group of people beating Mother Nature with time running out and saving the entire world. So that was a refreshing change of pace.They had some really nice actors and actresses on the cast list, whom were doing great jobs in bringing their characters to life on the screen.Now what really blew me away was the CGI effects and the sound effects. It was just phenomenal. And I am thrilled to find movies like this to use with my sound system, as this movie really had some impressive sounds. The whole sound in itself was really a layer that added so much to the movie.If you enjoy disaster movies, then you should definitely give "Into the Storm" a go. It is rare that an outstanding disaster movie comes along, "Into the Storm" turned out to be one of those rare instances.

I've been on a bit of an Alycia Debnam-Carey trip lately and went through all of the films she's done so far, which are not very many as she is mainly known for her television work at this point, like 'Fear the Walking Dead,' where I first noticed her. If it wasn't for Alycia being part of the cast, I probably would never have watched 'Into the Storm.' I had heard about the movie back when it came out but had no inclination to watch it as I thought it would be nothing more than another mediocre disaster film, a notion which the generally negative reviews and bad ratings for the movie strongly support.As I only wanted to see Alycia and how she was doing in her role, I had no expectations whatsoever of 'Into the Storm' and was very pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be an entertaining, action-packed thrill-ride of a tornado disaster film very similar to 1996's 'Twister' but with more impressive visual effects due to the drastic advances in computer-generated imagery since then. Most of the CGI looks absolutely stunning and rather realistic and is the definitive selling point of the movie as the bare-bones script doesn't offer much character development or any real surprises in the progression of the plot. It's simply a very typical setting for a disaster film with a straightforward plot: Small groups of strangers meet through the circumstances of a disaster and have to fight to survive while they bond a little bit in the rare quiet moments. For instance, Donnie (Max Deacon), an introverted nerd-like character, gets stuck with Kaitlyn (Alycia Debnam-Carey), the pretty girl he has had a crush on for a long time. You can probably guess how their chance meeting turns out in the end as this is a very commonly used but still effective plot device.As I said, this movie delivers just what you'd expect from a disaster film. Still, 'Into the Storm' received generally negative reviews, which is not surprising as these types of movies are always panned by critics for no apparent reason. After all, director Steven Quale certainly didn't set out to make 'Citizen Kane' or something but an entertaining action flick. I don't think there even is such a thing as a critically acclaimed disaster film except for maybe 'Titanic' (1997). Critics hate disaster films! Even the best movies of its genre like 'The Day After Tomorrow' (2004) weren't received very well at all by critics. That's just the way it is. So don't let negative reviews and low ratings put you off!Despite the fact that the adult main characters of the movie, portrayed by Sarah Wayne Callies ('The Walking Dead'), Richard Armitage ('The Hobbit') and Matt Walsh ('Ted'), are the protagonists, the teenage characters are really the ones who shine. Nathan Kress' character is the most elaborate in the script. He has some of the best lines and his portrayal of the character is energetic and simply fun to watch. Max Deacon is pretty good, too. He has a quite convincing crying scene. On the other hand, lead actress Sarah Wayne Callies' character is not fleshed-out enough to carry the movie on her own and Richard Armitage's dad-character remains stiff and somewhat distant throughout. Matt Walsh is great, though, as Pete, the daredevil documentary filmmaker who seemingly has no scruples but is actually a loyal friend.While the main characters are likable, many of the minor characters remain bland as they don't have enough screen time to amount to anything. The notable exception are the two Jackass-type dumbasses Donk and Reevis (Kyle Davis and Jon Reep), who voluntarily risk their lives driving into the tornadoes with their pickup truck and a quad bike just to shoot YouTube videos and get more views on their channel. This dumb-and-dumber-like duo doesn't really serve a purpose in the plot but is hilarious to watch.So, while the 'Into the Storm' is certainly not perfect in every aspect, there is a lot to like about it. To get back to the sole reason why I initially watched the movie, Alycia is fine in her role but she doesn't have very much screen time. She looks very pretty, though, so she does obviously serve the purpose of eye candy and I absolutely mean that as a compliment. After all, she shows a lot of potential in many of the roles she has taken on over the past few years and she's just really breaking out as an actress in Hollywood. When she gets the right role, she might turn into a major star. She certainly possesses the right qualities.

Like a lot of comedy movies, the best parts were definitely in the trailer for this film.The tornadoes are by far the best parts of the film starring alongside characters that you couldn't care less about.There is a little awesome nod to Twister in the film with a fake cow flying through the air.It's a predictable movie with no real story; just a lot of running back and forth, it does have some impressive scenes and some awesome special effects but Twister was a lot better!No real loss if you don't watch it. I won't be watching it again.
