Into the Storm (2014)

"Only two things separate Into the Storm from your garden variety DTV shlock from mockbuster specialists Asylum: there’s a higher level of digital finesse, and instead of employing F-list wash-ups and randoms, it features C-list faces you may recognise from telly but can’t name."

"Into the Storm can make it rain like nobody’s business, but when it tries to be smart, it comes out all wet."

"The found-footage format is undone by clunkingly unnatural dialogue and internal-logic inconsistencies."

"When the badass cyclones muscle into town, ripping up schools, banks and airports, the film is fairly fun. Sadly, everything else about it is, well, a bit of a disaster."

"Into the Storm sets forth as a found-footage thriller before losing its thread and then doubling back on itself in abject disarray."

"Handles the CGI action with breathless intensity."

"The script by John Swetnam is rudimentary, with only the most minimal and pallid stabs at characterization..."

"Maybe we do deserve another Twister, but to showcase the advances in effects since you really need a bigger budget than this."
