A great summer block buster film. For me it lives up to the first film and in certain ways maybe even better. This story as simple it may be feels more mature and character driven compared to the original, but that doesn't knock the original and it’s memorable characters like this film. Everyone in the movie is great, solid writing, stakes are at hand at times, great visuals and sound, and even a really good score and soundtrack to go along for the ride. And you feel some emotions at times after a tornado hits some small towns. Definitely worth checking out, i might see it a second time. 9/10
