Good thing I was in the mood for mindless destruction when I saw this movie, because that’s all there is to it! Into the Storm looks like a newer version of Twister, featuring gigantic tornadoes unlike anything the world has ever seen. Being made over 15 years after Twister, the computer aided graphics have been taken up a notch, but it is a very similar premise. Unfortunately the characters are so one sided, each with their own clear unchanging demeanor, and the story so flimsy, that when there is a break in the storm, you just sit back and wait impatiently for another tornado to pop up. The movie is at its best when they aren’t trying to formulate a plot, when it is just the tornados wreaking havoc, and the filmmaker knew it as this happens again and again with few breathers in the latter half of the film. There are some eye catching moments for sure, but when the clouds part and the sun comes out at the end, you are long ready for this storm to be over.
