Into the Storm is a movie about a group of storm chasers who did not get any good footage of tornadoes all season. Of course, they encounter one of the biggest tornadoes ever seen by the end of this film. While described as a found footage movie, it is not exclusively from that angle, which is a relief as it is always weird to see people carrying their cameras even when their life is in danger. The plot is pretty typical and in the beginning with the various storylines (which eventually connects), it is vague and hard to see the relevance. Apart from the storm chasers, we also follow a boy and his to-be-girlfriend, the boy's father and brother, and a pair of amateur storm chasers/idiots. They can cut the pair of idiots as it does not add to the story and doesn't feel like it belongs there. The set pieces can get exaggerated at times although the special effects were good. The climax was fun to watch and thanks to the relatively short length of 90 mins, it does not outstay its welcome even if the characters are forgettable.
