Yhden päivän aikana Silvertonin kaupunkiin iskee ennennäkemätön määrä kaiken tieltään hävittäviä tornadoja. Koko kaupunki on arvaamattomien ja kuolettavan vaarallisten hirmumyrskyjen armoilla, asiantuntijoiden ennustaessa että pahin on vasta tulossa. Useimmat etsivät suojaa, toisten etsiytyessä suoraan myrskyn keskelle. Tarina kerrotaan vuorotellen ammattimaisten myrskynmetsästäjien, jännitystä etsivien amatöörien ja rohkeiden kaupunkilaisten näkökulmasta. (SF Film Fin.)

A textbook example of poor film direction. Though the movie is visually captivating, the casting and dialogue are simply bad. It’s as if it was filmed by the second crew, which normally works only on the supporting technical scenes without any acting and doesn’t care the slightest bit about the dramaturgy of the story (the last Transformers suffered from the same failing).

I am not a tornado expert and I’ve never even seen a tornado. Nevertheless, I cannot imagine that a monster such as the one that appeared in this movie could appear in America. On the other hand, I bow down before the creators, because they did a great job connecting handheld camera with a proper filmmaking. I could hardly believe how many great shots this movie had. At times where a low-budget movie would be shaky, in this movie the cameraman clearly got some robot helper who did the job for him, or they fed him more, because the camera is stable even during the biggest hurricane and offers a view only mother nature can create. I have to say, I was really surprised. I’ve always been fascinated by tornados and this movie is not any exception. Just the classic American moralizing at the end was a bit unnecessary.

A TV movie with a really high budget. About four or five scenes are really worth watching (mainly the fire and Mack’s flypast the airport), and so such a high rating, but the rest is just stuffing. Dumb dialogs, “random shots", illogical nonsense. And poor Richard Armitage cast in a role totally beyond the abilities of heartless tough guys.

It looks and sounds really great, but the tons of messy situations, seen so many times elsewhere and still so serious, are really catastrophic. And even the idea of shooting the whole film with handheld and public cameras couldn't make it any more interesting, because it almost seems that everyone in this town has a camera (maybe only the dog didn't film) and everyone wants to be a documentary filmmaker, which takes away all the "authenticity". As hilarious as the special effects tornadoes are and the scenes of their rampage are interesting, Into the Storm is mostly boring and I'll have to watch Twister again sometime. Two and a half.

The dialogues are terribly stupid, and in some scenes, I had to struggle not to start laughing - like the resuscitation of the son, where Armitage probably resuscitated himself. However, the film does have good use of handheld camera, which is appropriately effective. Moreover, it simply manages to do what it's supposed to - impress and entertain. Some scenes, although obviously heavily digital, are truly magnificent and can give you chills. The acting is weak, but unfortunately, that's what you expect from a similar disaster movie.
