Not afraid of the storm

The film is not bad overall, but it is not good enough to applaud after watching it. It's warm, like a cup of warm boiled water. The effects of pseudo-documentary shooting methods used in thrillers are obvious. Films such as the "Ghost Record" series and "Blair the Witch" scared the audience. This is all because people believe that the events taken by the camera are real. The shooting method of pseudo-documentary is based on this to tease the audience. As a sci-fi film produced on the Hollywood assembly line, "Not Fearing the Storm" uses pseudo-documentary methods to show natural disasters. It is indeed a wonderful move. It is also evidenced by the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina in the past few years. , The audience all believe in the destructive nature of the wind disaster. The giant car chasing the tornado is covered with cameras, the DV camera of the "Memory Capsule" production team brothers, and the camera of the network video funny duo have become the main perspective of the film, which greatly mobilizes the audience's sense of presence. And participation, so that when the tornado struck, some nervously fragile audiences couldn’t help shouting "Oh, my god". Due to the lack of 3D effects, the audience could lead the performance of their good intentions, but they could not rely on their brains to supplement their imagination. The violent wind swept the leaves and slapped her face with pain. But this shortcoming can’t conceal the director Steve Querrey’s efforts in special effects, the soaring fire tornado, the rope tornado sweeping everything, the magical jumping tornado taking turns, and the climax part also comes with a big gift. The two-in-one giant trapezoidal tornado vowed to throw everything on the ground into the sky, and by the way, it was popular science, and the common sense was clear and blue in the eyes of the wind. The background of the story is set in a small town named Silverton. On the same day, an unprecedented number of tornadoes swept the town at the same time. Under the attack of these unpredictable and extremely deadly tornadoes, the entire town was facing extinction. Disaster. But the chasers who specialize in tornadoes predict that the worse situation has yet to really come. Most residents are eagerly looking for refuge, but these wind chasers rushed to the front of the tornado whirlpool, testing how far they need to go to photograph this rare and extreme moment. I've been in a state of tension throughout the whole film-the first half is because the tornado hasn't come, and the second half is because the tornado has come and hasn't gone! I'm so relieved, what I want to watch a disaster movie is actually this kind of mood! At the moment when the wind is over, the whole body and mind are relaxed~

    Three and a half. Those two people on YouTube are really good! Dad is so handsome! Half a star for you! He said this is the biggest tornado he has ever seen. I want to say that I have watched so many disaster movies. This is also the biggest tornado I have ever seen!

    There are two kinds of chasers in the film. They have always been professionally equipped and have professionals, such as Pete; the other is two funny lunatics.

Into the Storm quotes

  • Kaitlyn: See, look at this place. They should clean this up and put a garden in here or something.

    Donnie: They should totally put a skate-park in here.

    [Kaitlyn gives him a look]

    Donnie: Yeah... a garden would be great.

    Kaitlyn: Yeah.

  • Pete: Great, we missed another one.

    [into the radio mic]

    Pete: Hey you guys know the point of this documentary is to actually film a tornado, right?

    Daryl: [answering on the radio] 10-4.

    Jacob: We need a tornado.

    Pete: We need a tornado. When's the last time we saw one?

    Lucas: That EF-4 that we shot for the Weather Channel last year.

    Pete: Oh, so that makes us zero-for-365. What does that make our average? Jacob, you play baseball, right?

    Jacob: Hockey, actually.

    Lucas: Really? I play lacrosse, man.

    Jacob: Really? No way.

    Pete: [laughing sarcastically] This is fun, just like a family road trip.

    Jacob: Did I miss something?

    Pete: No Jacob, you miss... everything. Although we do have four hundred hours of clouds and sunsets and us going to every drive-in from Idaho to Texas, which makes this the most expensive home movie ever.

    Jacob: Just to be clear, we still get paid whether we see a tornado or not, right?... Right?
