Supercell

Slow Bad effects Slow

Kept me on edge throughout the entire film. Haven’t seen a good quality thriller in ages. Would highly recommend!!

Thriller from start to finish. Very powerful scenes that keep you engaged throughout the entire movie.

Loved the nostalgic feeling

You can absolutely tell that this movie was made with so much care and devotion for the world of stormchasing. Firstly, the cinematography is breathtaking. The shot of the chasers driving out of the canyon and into the vista of a mushroomed supercell is truly awe inspiring. To anyone familiar with stormchasing, you’ll probably know of Pecos Hank, and some of his footage is actually in this film. So give him (and the filmmakers) some support and watch this - even if for his footage alone. Also major kudos that very little CGI was used to make this film (or they hid it VERY well). Secondly, the wonderful nods to the movie Twister are poignant and put a smile on my face. From the subtle nods in the music to Bill Paxton showing up in a very small but unique way. Thirdly, to those hating on Baldwin being cast in the film: the filming for Supercell took place before Baldwin’s Rust incident. Imagine being the director/writer of Supercell, pouring your heart and soul into your film, and an incident occurs (after your filming) on another movie set - do you just scrap your entire film? Because Baldwin (and others) were negligent on a film set doesn’t mean I’m going to stop watching Hunt For Red October. Likewise, it won’t stop me from enjoying a film that is clearly a love letter to storm chasing. All that being said, the film isn’t perfect: I don’t think the story about the tornado finding device was totally fleshed out - I think more explanation regarding the device would’ve helped. To me, it doesn’t have enough energetic hook moments; take the ‘Humans Being’ scene from Twister: it is iconic (for the music and cinematography) and really puts you into the tornado chase. But this film kinda lacks one of those moments. BUT what it does have is sweeping/epic cinematography that was sorely lacking from the movie Twister. So maybe it was a conscious choice by the director to keep the film less of an action film and more about the beauty of the storm (which he captures perfectly). If you’re going into this expecting a high-budget explosive-action Avatar-level production film you’re going to be disappointed. However, if you watch this film because you love stormchasing, have a love for Spielberg films, and enjoy beautiful cinematography, you’re going to like this film.

For an independent, that’s how you do it!

This movie is far beyond the original Twister movie!! Action from beginning to end!! The special effects are too notch!

Worst weather movie ever! I think there were about 2 scenes of excitement. The main character talked maybe for 10 sentences the entire movie and I had no idea of what the main plot or climax of the movie was. I’ve read better childrens books. The only real clear point was that the main character was sad about his dad and they kept playing really dramatic music every time for this. Instead of Supercell, the real title should be ‘sad about my dad’. Complete waste of time and money.

Barely no action 😒

In this film tornadoes kill people, not Alec Baldwin. Sad…
