This is the story of storm chaser Jeff Gammons as he finds out that his kidneys are failing on the eve of what looks to be a storm season of record proportions.
I am going to be honest and say I am all over the place concerning this film. Being released in the IMAX format the film is going to be pushed as a big screen experience and to be honest when those storm sequences hit this film will blow you away. At the same time a great deal of time is spent telling Gammons’ story, which if fine, but I’m not certain it needs to be done in IMAX. And you will forgive me about being bothered by the split nature of the film, but I watched the film from a screening link and began with the IMAX count down, which had me adjusting what I was seeing so that I would consider it as an IMAX film. I kind of wish that this was two films- a shorter film that just focused on the storm chasing moments and another feature- minus the hype of Gammons story.
Don’t get me wrong, this is a solid film, it is just its billing as a super screen film is over doing it.
