Baseball-size hail, violent winds, and churning tornadoes make supercells deadly, and when William Brody was a boy, his father -- a legendary storm-chaser -- was killed by one. Now, the family business belongs to Zane Rogers (Alec Baldwin), a reckless tour operator who sees dollar signs where others see storm clouds. When his destiny arrives in the form of one of the most powerful storms on record, William leaves his mom (Anne Heche) and home behind to team up with his father's ex-partner, Roy Cameron (Skeet Ulrich), barely surviving a tornado yet determined to chase one of nature's most terrifying creations: the bear's cage.

3/5

The thriller-y bits are duly exciting, and there’s something almost endearing about a film that makes no attempt to find comedy or supernatural elements or airborne sharks within these dangerous-enough natural conditions.

Between the genuinely awe-inspiring storm effects and Corey Wallace’s rousing, old-fashioned score, “Supercell” feels like a cheaper but in some ways more heartfelt version of a ‘90s blockbuster.

2/5

Despite the integration of bona fide footage by fabled stormchaser Pecos Hank Schyma, the film's action largely circumvents excitement and is hamstrung by bargain-basement special effects.

C-

Far from super, even though it generates a lot of dramatic hot air.

Whenever the skies are calm, this eye-rolling thriller about a family of Texas storm chasers loses its thunder.

2/5

The storm-chasing in this modestly budgeted feature never amps up the excitement the way it needs to. And the human drama (though well-intended) isn’t strong enough carry us through.

How this has a 73% audience rating I have no clue. The writing is horrible, the plot drags on and nothing really happens until a full 1hr15 min into the film. What really irks me is that they used orchestral scores throughout the whole film that were overdramatic and would be better matched to a war movie. Not sure how they dragged 3 A-list (maybe B or C by now) actors into this, but they must've needed the paycheck. It's not often I leave a negative review-- I don't just think I disliked this movie, I think it wasted my time. I had to skip chunks of scenes repeatedly due to the bad writing and loud overdramatic music, waiting to get to actual storm content. Don't waste your time if you're the type of person to look at RT reviews before you watch something. There are better low budget movies out there that are far more entertaining.

Um filme sobre tornados incrivelmente monótono e sem força. Troca o suspense da ação por um drama familiar aborrecido e previsível, afogando uma premissa clássica em efeitos especiais fracos e personagens sem qualquer carisma.

The homage to the one of the all-time greatest movies, Jaws, made watching this a very enjoyable experience.

The only saving grace are the storms. I'll watch it again for the storms.
