REVIEW - Into The Storm

At least this film wasn't a disaster. Well, it was about a disaster, but it was decent enough to satisfy those discerning folks who'd rather sit through a predictable movie about the wind than watch The Expendables.

We earthlings must love disaster movies. We've had earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and floods, contagious diseases, zombies, aliens of every shape and color, dinosaurs, and apes. And even though this particular type of disaster has already been done in film, Into The Storm out-twisted Twister.

The effects were special, although there were some flaws in logic, with the wind wild enough to raise airliners into the maelstrom but still managing to leave the good guys with their feet firmly planted.

At least it got me out of the house, away from the TV, albeit staring at a larger screen.
