- Vipe 3861d agoLiterally my favorite movie Ive seen 100s of times and will watch it a 100 more.
- Angelica GomezMay 27, 2025This movie is amazing!!
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025The cast is so good. RIP Bill Paxton and PSH. Had been trying to get my kids to watch this for weeks, but none of them seemed interested in the slightest and were very skeptical after the watching the trailer following it up with their usual “What year was it made?” question because they know it never fails to make me feel very old. As I expected, they enjoyed it. It’s a brilliantly paced actioner that really is kind of an overlooked blockbuster from the past.

- mickerdooJuly 15, 2025Strong cast and love triangle save this natural disaster flick. CGI didn't age incredibly. And there are definitely some corny moments.
- DdoughnutMay 23, 2025How do they film something like this? It was excellent, I'm just really curious
- adecariaJune 16, 2025Bill Paxton is talented, but his greatest talent might be always going someplace where he shouldn't go. He walks straight into the OK Corral and caught a bullet in Tombstone. He struts into East St. Louis and catches a few more there during Tresspass. But seriously, Bill... why go into a tornado? You got lucky this time, and absolutely deserved to die. Which is all to say that this movie was just a little too unrealistic and campy (we got cows?) for me to seriously be afraid of the true star of the show: the EF5 tornado that's basically treated as a horror movie villain. But hey, it's still that classic summertime thrill ride that made 16-year-old me ride out with my buddy Justin chasing a local thunderstorm the day we saw it in the theater.
