This tornado flick is head over heels better than the theatrical release Twister. As a real weather weanie with a PhD in climatology, I can say without a doubt that the portrayal of meteorologists and storm chasers is a lot closer to the truth than the stereotypes presented in Twister. The portrayal of the weather service, weather maps, and the tornado itself was also MUCH better than in Twister. If you want a tornado adventure movie which is a lot more accurate than most of the junk out there, get this movie.
One can make the claim that the plot is rather predictable, weather boy meets powersuit girl, they fight, but then get to like each other, but so what, a lot of movies use a similar plot. The characters are likable and its a fun ride. Bruce Campbel gets to give a performance which is not over the top, and proves he can be a serious actor, given the right material.
This is my favorite tornado movie. Its a nice little movie, the good guys persevere, and the weather stuff is good.

I love tornado movies, but this one such a disappointment. Come on, walking around in the "eye" of tornado? It's obvious the makers of this absurdly stupid movie knew nothing about tornados, or simply chose to ignore reality. The special effects are terrible. The CGI(?) tornadoes more resemble dark dust bunnies than tornadoes. The spinning stocking (or whatever it was) in the old "Wizzard Of Oz" looks better.

I remember watching this on TV when it debuted in '96. Even though the tornado sequences (especially the final one) are unrealistic, this movie is not a total waste. The cast is pretty solid, and I enjoyed the acting throughout. (Kudos to Bruce Campbell, who does well as a storm chaser :) ) Special effects are OK, considering this was made for TV. (Obviously with a lower budget than "Twister". If you want to see REALISTIC-looking tornadoes, look there.) I probably could've written the script better, which is the main weakness in this film. All in all, not as good as "Twister", but a decent movie anyway.

This movie was so horribly bad that it wasn't even funny. A huge tornado goes through this town and supposedly rips the town to shreds. The damage? Just a bunch of stuff put in the middle of the street in nice neat piles. NO trees damaged, no pavement ripped up, no houses damaged, and no telephone poles pulled over. The worst part was that there no visible serious injuries. Sad.
The so called tornado scenes look like they were made with an Etche Sketch. The aftermath scenes were done with a dump truck and a bulldozer. The "Damaged" property was lying in the middle of the street looking like it had been looted out of the remains of a burned out goodwill store.
The worst part to me though had to be the scene in which they are standing next to their truck, in the middle of a tornado! I've had a tornado go over my house once. A tornado is not like a hurricane, where the eye is all calm. With all the debris that a tornado picks up you'd never even get close to the middle of one in the first place. You'd be picked up and thrown around before you're even close middle. There isn't one chance in a billion that you'd drive into a tornado like a fog bank.
I think that the fact that they were able to communicate, and walk around inside the "Cone Of Silence", was the biggest joke of all. That shoulda been the title of this horidly bad. And they wonder why many directors keep their set closed to everyone and reveal only a limited amount of the plot. This was obviously a rip-off of "Twister". A cheap, no frills version that was hastily put together to beat Twister to the screen.

Amazing how Noel Hesseck's direction could make a tornado seem so insignificant. With little special effects of any note, this Twister wannabe suffers from flat, laconic performances, most notably Bruce Campbell and Ernie Hudson. Even L.Q. Jones seems winded and lifeless. An obvious made for TV soapie, that never shows the tornado at its worst.
Rent don't buy.
