Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
theMike-D Season 01 was a success for which I believe it was designed: provide an accurate portrayal of a storm chaser's existence in the field. Though bogged down occasionally with inner-team drama, Season 1 served its purpose and there are fantastic moments of capturing weather at its most violent while nabbing genuinely humanistic bits which worked well overall.With crowd source funding at the ready, a few key personnel adjustments and lessons learned from S01, I feel Season 02 accurately reflected the realities of not only a storm chaser's "life in the field" but also of the 2013 Tornado season itself: A little slow to begin, a flash of excitement, an inevitable crescendo of frenzied activities only to end with the cold reality of how dangerous this endeavor can be and, in the end, how the storm chasing landscape was forever altered. From a content perspective, TC S02 brought a more polished look through sensible editing and a solid music score, backed by an aggressive mission of documenting up-close tornado encounters wherever the opportunity arises. Great visualizations of extreme weather is where S02 wins BIG. As a viewer, you are literally riding in the cockpit with the TVN crew and tornado intercept vehicles for a "real-time" view into the storm chasing universe. I found the overall production effort to be surprisingly…Human. One feels the emotional highs of a tornado pursuit, the lows of plans gone awry, sadness through loss of life and property. The content is raw, delivery well executed. The personalities work; the drama is minimal and even classic over-the-top moments with Timmer can be forgiven as it's clearly a matter of passion for all involved. Another exciting aspect was TVN showcasing coordination efforts with Oklahoma City's Channel 4 and the Weather Channel. This is a tremendous value-add and one unique to the Tornado Chaser world as a whole. If you are a seasoned chaser, casual observer or have interest in weather whatsoever, these Episodes are a must-see. Much like the enterprise of storm chasing itself, TVN will cause you to laugh, jump in surprise,and scratch your head in disbelief - all the while, bringing deep emotional connections when one realizes: It's not just about the chase but also understanding the plight individuals and communities face in the wake of severe weather.In the end, you can feel the emotion TVN poured into this effort. They raise the bar by presenting glorious extreme weather content while gripping tightly to the humanistic connections of those both within and outside the world of Tornado Chasers.
jclashley52 Love Reed and the guys. I began watching Reed on the Discovery channel. Was really sad when the show was cancelled. I quickly discovered his Facebook page and have been following him since. Love the chase, love watching live chases, love the web videos, and most of all truly respect their courage and need to gather valuable information during these storms. This program also is educational and provides those of us who are closet chasers valuable information.Even though all chases do not always result in the ultimate tornado, the cloud formations, beautiful sky's, and scenery are well worth the watch. The humor isn't bad either!
scyfer87 As a fan of the show Storm Chasers, I was very excited to see Tornado Chasers as a new series following Reed and The Dominator and his crew! Such an amazing show with great footage and pure excitement! This show really brings you closer that ever into what it is like to be a storm chaser and you learn tidbits along the way that may help you recognize what to look for in a storm! I hope this show lasts for years! Reed's energy and passion he puts into his storm chasing is not matched by any other and I hope he always keeps it up! Please purchase and watch these series! It helps raise money for them to keep doing what they do and keep the research flowing!
jayde-elizabeth-james Absolutely fantastic! As a young teenager, I became interested in meteorology and in particular, severe weather such as tornadoes. The Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers was my favourite show, and when it ended I felt incredibly disappointed. Then came Tornado Chasers, and I was pleasantly surprised with the informative nature of the show. Tornado Chasers sets a more realistic tone for storm chasing, highlighting the importance of the science of understanding tornadoes rather than solely focusing of the dramatics of the chase. The explanations given of cloud structures and of tornado development make the show accessible to all people, whether they be experienced meteorology fanatics or those newly interested in weather. Witnessing what the TVN team are achieving with their live streaming, and warnings on social media in allowing people more warning time in the path of severe weather is truly incredible. I look forward to another awesome season of Tornado Chasers in the future!
