It is well-thought-out, beautifully shot by Andrew Jeric (“Sightless”) and the actors, playing stock “types,” add value with performances that land, even when characters are doing one of the “three things” you should never risk in a tornado, even as the sentimental script is skipping past a teenager’s questions about the afterlife so that we can get to a scene where today’s storm chasers slow-clap the son of their late idol.

If you can forgive the persistent corniness of “Supercell,” this modestly budgeted storm-chaser drama offers some surprising surface pleasures.

'Supercell' is an enthralling weather action thriller. It underscores the importance of family dynamics, and they use the storm as a vehicle to tell this story in a raw and authentic manner. It has an eerie, retro vibe to it, where the viewer can recall the action adventure movies of the ’90s. In this movie, it is evident that the chase is on. The director did a solid job bringing this film to life thanks to his vision, and the script that he co-wrote with Anna Elizabeth James. “Supercell” garners a B+ rating.

I certainly understand the fascination with tornadoes and the people who chase them, cause it's dangerous but it's also thrilling, and yet it's remarkable how the people involved in producing movies on the subject cannot capture the excitement and tension of what it takes to do what they do. You will find more emotion in real videos on YouTube than in this disappointing movie.

Technically, Supercell is not a bad movie. But it’s dragged down by the economics that insist a low-budget movie needs some minor celebrity voltage. It’s at its best when people aren’t talking.
