Storm in the Heartland (2009 TV Movie)
4/10
Doesn't feel like a disaster movie.
19 February 2024
I get the movie is trying to go for, but it doesn't work. The story is more trying to get over a traumatic event that happened in the opening. I get the family drama is going for with one of the sister refused to talk and go outside, but they don't fully explored it throughout. Even the side plot with the storm searchers doesn't go anywhere interesting. Most of these plotlines are rather generic and predictable to guess what happen next and isn't that surprising. Also, there's no emotion to be found in the movie because I already know that every family members is going to survive and there's lack of build up towards itself.

As for the disaster scenes, it's barely there. It only happen at the opening and climax of the movie. There no suspense to be found in them because it happen quickly and there's lack of build up that happen in it. Also, tornado looks pretty bad when you first see it and there's lack of destruction to be found too.

Tornado Valley is a bland movie that focus more on the family drama than the disaster.
