Pretty boring tbh. In typical American fashion it’s not enough to be a story about surviving this force of nature and working around it because it ends with them “taming” a tornado by shooting rockets into at and using super absorbent materials to somehow dissipate it. There was also a side story about a land developer using storm chasers to buy up properties that have been hit by tornadoes, but it seemed weirdly muted and cut down, like it was edited out or something. You get a couple scenes of one of the storm chasers talking about making offers on property and one of the main character searching the land developer online but nothing really comes of it and they don’t mention it at all after the climax. There was the kernel of an interesting story if they had maybe delved into this capitalist taking advantage of natural disasters in order to monopolize all the land in tornado alley but they obviously didn’t go that route. All-in-all there was very little tension, even when there was a massive twister coming at them the main characters could somehow always ride it out in their modified product placement-mobile

I was also annoyed at the complete inconsistency regarding what would be thrown by a tornado and what can resist it. The same tornado dragged a streetcar across town and threw a pump jack into a water tower, but the product placement pickup truck with trailer somehow managed to resist being almost at the heart of the tornado without being catapulted hundreds of feet into the air.

The opening was such a tease, made it seem like there actually might be some tension and consequences, but we can’t have any of that now can we
