Into the Storm (2014)

Director: Steven Quale

Starring: Richard Armitage, Sarah Wayne Callies

Storm trackers, thrill-seekers, and everyday townspeople document an unprecedented onslaught of tornadoes touching down in the town of Silverton.

Let’s face it: everyone who has seen ‘Twister’ will undoubtedly compare the two films. I initially thought I would trash this film, but instead I was pleasantly surprised. Yeah, the characters and their situations are very melodramatic, but I enjoyed their effort and liked the actors portraying them. The visual effects were nothing short of dazzling! Amazingly realistic, actually, and – honestly – isn’t that the main reason for watching a film like this? I was thoroughly entertained, and, clearly, so were a lot of other viewers, as the film turned out to be a big box office success.
