It's a disaster movie. I'm not talking about the genre, but the movie's description.
The special effects were good. If all you want out of a movie is a visual spectacle, this might be the movie for you. But the problem with this movie (and a lot of modern movies) is that good story telling takes a back seat, if it gets a seat at all, to special effects. The cast of characters were unbelievable. They don't behave like real people, making them unrelatable to me. Glen Powell's character and his character's buddies all seem like caricatures, way over the top. And the lead female character has an unexplainable, magic-like ability to know what a tornado is going to do, where it's going to go, regardless of what any forecast, data, or team of Nasa and NOAA PhDs might suggest.
About 2/3 of the way through the movie, I had to leave the theater to use the restroom, and I didn't even care. I knew I wouldn't miss anything important to the plot or story. I was correct. I was glad when the movie was finally over. The next morning, I had to ask my wife what we'd done the night before and she told me, "We watched that movie." The movie was so forgettable that I did just that, overnight.
