Into the
Storm
**
Dir: Steven Quale. With: Richard Armitage, Sarah
Wayne Callies, Matt Walsh. 89 mins. Cert: 12A
Another unfortunate
consequence of global warming: the return of the cheesy disaster movie. This
very mild example resembles countless Channel Five afternoon premieres: for
Greg Evigan and Suzanne Somers, we have Veep’s
Matt Walsh and Prison Break’s Sarah
Wayne Callies as “stormchasers” (i.e. jock meteorologists) pursuing hurricanes
through Michigan, while Richard Armitage essays the Dean Cain role as the
vice-principal charged with rescuing his son from “the old papermill”. Its
destructive setpieces may loose the odd popcorn kernel onto the Screen 7
carpet, but it’s really just an effects reel: the weather – cloudy wisps
turning to massive, fiery hellblasts – is considerably better developed than
its quarry. Stick with Twister.
Into the Storm opens in cinemas nationwide today.
