INTO THE STORM (2014)

Whatever you do, do NOT move to Silverton, Oklahoma, as this town spends nearly ninety minutes getting the crap kicked out of it by an unprecedented series of tornadoes ... while, in between some pretty decent special effects (it comes off at SyFy Channel level at first, but gets better), telling the story of a widower and his two sons - both of whom are, at dad's request, working on a video time capsule of their lives - as well as a group of documentary-making storm chasers, a couple of local yokels, and an entire high school full of kids that may as well have a fifty-foot wide target painted on it.  Silly, unevenly acted, but with at least a halfhearted attempts at character development, Into the Storm works best at what it does best - being a disaster film where people are incidental compared to the royal shagging Silverton gets by Mother Nature herself. (PG-13)  B-
