*****
Directed by Steven Quale ' Into the Storm’ is a not so usual disaster film but a gripping visual drama of the nature gone awry.Quale has used the technology to its maximum to get that screen thunder as the mayhem what the weather conditions create when out of control.
Gary [Richard Armitage] Vice Principal in Silverton High School witnesses the tornados in middle of the school graduation event. His two sons Trey [Kress] and Donnie [Deacon] already are reeling under the trauma of their mother’s loss some years back now have to deal with a new situation yet. A nonstop assault of tornadoes is in to strike the whole city creating a multiple situation where Trey is trapped in a paper mill with a fellow student and the college campus is under dire consequences of losing the structure to the massive tornado which is heading towards it, as a result leaving hundreds of people in peril.
Pete Moore [Walsh] and Allison [Callies] are specialist in chasing tornados with their well equipped vans join Gary to find his son, as he is rescued in the nick of a time. While everybody is on a run to shelter themselves from the advancing storm which is the mother of all tornadoes.
There always a human touch to such disaster movie and ultimately it’s the triumph over the nature’s devastation.
Just sit back and feel the frenzy of the climate psychosis and the wreckage it makes to people who are trapped in it. Thumbs up to the next generation effects for the believable visuals and sound effects.
