If you thought that
director Jan de Bont’s 1996 film, Twister, was a one hell of a wild
ride, then wait until you get a load of filmmaker Steven Quale’s Into
the Storm.
Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment has tabbed Nov. 18 as the street for DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo
Pack editions of this summer action film treat. The ARR works out to 102 days and domestic
ticket sales were a very nice $46.7 million.
Into the Storm is Twister on steroids — thanks to
quantum leaps in CGI and some really terrific set-pieces. Notably, the high school hallway, lined with
book lockers, as the first twister comes ripping through during the middle of
commencement ceremonies, the hell-on-earth abandoned mill (drown or get blown
away … hell of a choice) and the desperation shelter sequence that wraps the
movie.
After the EF5 tornado
that leveled Moore, Oklahoma in May of 2013 anyone who thinks that this Into
the Storm is just Hollywood fiction might want to take a gander at some
of the video of the devastation that marked that tornado event — 24 dead from a
twister that measured over a mile wide!
Bonus goodies here
include the featurette titled “Fake Storms: Real Conditions” … exclusive to the
Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack SKU are two additional featurettes, “Into the Storm:
Tornado Files” and “Titus: The Ultimate Chasing Vehicle.”
