MY FAVORITE PARTS

This film was so bad that i laughed my behind off for the entire movie and a few hours afterwards

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE SEEN THIS, HERE WERE THE BEST PARTS:
1. The son of the married couple watched people and his home town literally be torn apart and complained that he wanted to go home.
2. The mom telling him to play his "game" while they outrun a tornado in the car.
3. The car outrunning a 500 mph storm
4. The son blaming his father for the storm
5. this one is in all caps because i cannot stress how funny this part is: WHEN THEY DROVE INTO THE TANKER THAT GOT SUCKED UP IN THE TORNADO/TWISTER AND THEIR IDEA OF ACTING WAS WAVING THERE ARMS AND SCRUNCHING THERE FACES.
6. The "scientific parts" sounded as though the writer opened up a dictionary and pointed at words with his eyes closed.
7. The soldier standing in the same spot for 15 minutes but panting like he was jogging in place.
8. again caps lock: THEY CRASHED THEIR HELICOPTER INTO THE FOREST AND THEY ALL STOOD UP AND WALKED CALMLY TO FIND SHELTER COMPLETELY UNHARMED.
9. when the father got up from the helicopter crash, he sat straight up like he was a robot doing sit ups
10. The family got into the helicopter and all strapped up with headphones even though two of them were not steering and there was no communication possible.
11. when it was time to evacuate, the wife grabs like 4 granola bars
12. the ranger's helicopter pad was 5 MILES AWAY FROM THE RANGER STAION AND REQUIRED RUNNING THROUGH THICK FORESTRY AND CROSSING A RIVER
13. the son told everybody he had a plan and to "get inside right now" so he could say there was a helicopter and then run back outside.
14. the son knew where the helicopter was but the father ran away
15. the black man was burned by chlorine gas that came out of electrical wiring that was just hanging out of a machine
16. the minute long clip of the greasy soldier eating chips and peanut butter.
there are probably more please add any that i missed.

Going home after witnessing a tragedy and calmly making a sandwich.
The reporter getting sucked up into the funnel while broadcasting. The camera man must of seen it coming and said what the hell! maybe it will shut her up.
Sorry, but gotta disagree with #3 that storm hadn't hit yet. They were being chased by an annoying tornado.
#13 he had to find the keys for the whirly bird.
Also, people were running past the truck, but when he says its time to go somebody takes off in it. Why did he leave the keys in the ignition? Why did they just stand there and talk? He should have stayed in the truck and got his family when they ran out of the station.
So many stupid mistakes one should not make when in a survival situation. Like never get out of your car when junk cars are pulled out onto the road, go around and keep going! This made for a really stupid 87 mins, but it was better than mythbusters although if mythbusters wanted to do an episode about holding onto a hole with one hand in 500 mph winds while the rest of your body is being sucked into the gale I'd watch it. I seem to recall another tornado movie in which the main characters where tied to a well pipe to go through a cat 5 tornado and just barely making it through alive.

Oh there is a high light to this movie. The absolute best part was the credits, but not because this travisty was over, but because of Lisa Donnelly and her song "let go that weight". AMAZING and caught me completely off guard. Find her on You Tube it will be worth the search.

P.S. I enjoy watching Mythbusters, but not every night like my son would have us do.

The song during the end credits is what I don't get. It's a pretty song, but how on earth does it relate to the movie? The words are very uplifting and just don't match the extreme phoniness of the movie. I tried watching this twice and fell asleep both times, only to wake up to the end credits rolling. Go figure.

My favorite line in this movie is as the soldier is trying to fix the cell tower, and the main guy has to leave, he says call him if he has any trouble.. HOW????

Mine was: "They just want to go home and die with their families"

Did anyone else notice the views out the back of the vehicles? Everytime they showed the inside of the cars, the view out of the back window showed a serious storm going on even when the sky was blue and no storm in sight, not to mention the rain falling outside the drivers window but from the outside view there was no rain at all.

They jump into the car and the car has no license plates but by the time they come home there is one.

They are escaping from the tornado and it is raining. but there are in full sunlight , with shadows from the car.

Grabbing granola bars was pretty funny too.

Worst CG in this day an age.

"Didn't we already go this way?" "No, that was another way!"

Hahaha I agree on almost everything. I didn't watch the whole movie. But those parts I did, did I laugh of how bad the movie was. And the actors and actresses for that matter. There was also this scene where the lead actor had to hold on to the top of an underground system leading to some building? He was grinning like a fool non stop and when the other man came to hold on to him as the storm kept trying to get the lead actor. That man was also grinning and it just looked so funny. At least did my family laugh at it. No I say this movie is probably one of the crappiest movie I've ever seen. Including the one in it.

I only watched like 30 minutes and basically every scene had me laughing.

17. The son stares at the incoming tornado for 30 seconds, then walks TOWARDS it. Soon after is decked in the face with a tree branch and falls down with no expression.

18. When they're running through the forest, one aerial camera shows them surrounded by fire, the camera pans to another view of them and there is NO fire anywhere.

19. They're able to outrun a rushing tide of water in the building. Where the water even came from I have no idea.

I swear it's like the director just wanted to troll people with this.

I went to sleep during the movie. It was a pretty good sleep. Definitely my favourite part of the experience anyway.

I choose to believe what I was programmed to believe

How about running through a wide, slow moving river on top of a mountain?

Here's my favorite, though, a storm comes and visits the kids front yard, so he WALKS TOWARD it, gets conked in the head with a tree branch, so mom comes and helps him walk into the house about fifty feet away, which is lucky, since the storm only made it as far as the front yard.
