Critics Consensus: Clumsily scripted and populated with forgettable characters, Into the Storm has little to offer beyond its admittedly thrilling special effects.

Reviews

Richard Crouse

When the wind isn't tearing the town apart it's as if Quale doesn't know what to do with the characters or the story.

Features spurts of painfully juvenile dialogue, an abundance of pointless characters, and countless continuity discrepancies.

Richard Propes

The film is an immensely flawed yet still occasionally involving film.

A retrofitted disaster flick that mimics the narrative of Twister sans the notable cast and pesky bits of extraneous detritus, such as character development.

Into the Storm's approach to the "found footage" style works well, but sadly the camcorders and camera phones are being operated by flat, mostly forgettable characters.

Disaster pic has intense storm sequences but so-so plot.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Into the Storm is an extremely intense natural disaster film about how a group of storm chasers and a high-school assistant principal and his two teenage sons handle a deadly series of tornadoes that hits an Oklahoma town. The storm sequences are violent and deadly; each one leaves more devastation to buildings and people. Characters die, sometimes horrifically, during the storms, especially those who are swept up into a tornado vortex. The body count includes a few prominent characters, and everyone is in life-threatening peril. Language, which includes "s--t" and its many derivatives, is used in nearly every scene once the storms start hitting the town. There are also some references to sex and banging and hot women, but only a couple of actual kisses, one at the beginning and one at the end. Disaster movies can frighten some younger viewers even more than monsters or aliens or paranormal horror, so make sure you know whether your tween or teen can handle realistic depictions of weather catastrophes.
