Since storm season is approaching, I'd thought that I'd review this mid to late 90's blockbuster, which is about a team of storm chasers that develop a machine called "Dorothy", that is designed to help them study tornadoes. For a film from the 1990's, the special effects are really good, and it's a really intense film. Parents, I don't think you wanna show your kids this film because, not only it's intense but, there is a really good amount of foul language. And, there is this dinner table scene which I think should've been cut from the film. And there's also a scene, where a tornado rips through a drive in theater, and because of that, I guarantee you that your kids might be afraid of going to a drive-in movie. Especially on a cloudy night, let alone a stormy night for that matter. And the movie that the filmmakers chose for that was the 1980 R-rated Stanley Kubrick horror movie "The Shining" So, I don't think you would wanna show your kids, especially your young kids this film.
Final Grade:
B+
