MY REVIEW

This was a great family tragedy, hope and family bonding story. This is when two siblings are mad at each other but would do anything for each other including risking their life. Great story surrounded by the adventure of the K2  mountain. The risk are awesome and again one of my favorite type of story lines is the will to survive in impossible odds. You really feel alone in some parts of this movie and hopelessness is ever present. I love the magnitude and scope of this movie. It is one of those movies you want to watch on a super huge TV screen. 

I gave this movie a high family movie rating depending on your standards it could be a great family adventure to watch.

IMDB Story Line
Bill and Jo Harding, advanced storm chasers on the brink of divorce, must join together to create an advanced weather alert system by putting themselves in the cross-hairs of extremely violent tornadoes.

WHAT I LIKED

This was a fun movie, A love story mixed with the weather and disaster. Comedy mixed with a little heartache. Action and drama flying cows and the list goes on.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE

To me the experiment they where trying to do had too many unexplained failed attempts. I don't understand why they could not have had a better explanation of the system.

SIDE NOTES

The movie had light sexual innuendos in the first half, but it could still be a family movie, however some people might disagree with that and that is perfectly understandable. Even with it's faults I gave the movie a 10 on IMDB
