13 Minutes

The essence of this disaster movie is the same as all other. Get the audience emotionally attached to the characters, have a disaster, then pick straws to see who survives. Problem is there have been a few Tornado movies in the last few years, all of which have been equal to or better than this one. The acting is okay, but it's too drawn out and you end up not caring who's pushing up the daisies.

Do not waste your time, there are plenty of good disaster films out there.

I was not invested in one single character in this film. So whether they lived or died did not bother me in the slightest.

This film is just weak in plot, full of political agenda, and the acting is mediocre to say the least.

I am a fan of Thora Birch, so I was looking forward to watching her in something new. But not even her presence could salvage this film.

The basic plot is that a tornado hits a small town wiping it out. It surrounds 4 families and their experience.

If you want to be preached to, go ahead and watch it Personally, I'd rather go and revisit Twister and at least know I was getting what I paid for.

One time, I was in an NHS waiting room and to the pass the time I read a lengthy pamphlet about Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It was considerably more exciting than this film.

The effects were good---but that was only a few minutes. Too much simpleton soap opera. The large cast of characters that is self-defeating TV quality script..

Just like all the other reviews say this movie is a typical gender X film. It has gay / lgbt/ abortion / womens body rights blah blah blah. This could have be a GOOD movie about a bunch of strangers coming together (this is what I thought it would be) but instead typical Hollywood disaster with political crap.
