Movie Reviews of Storm Chasers/Perfect Disaster
Movie Review: Pursuing the Killers of the Plains
Summary: 5 Stars
Meteorologists have long wanted information about conditions inside tornadoes--they believe that a more thorough understanding of tornadoes would lead to longer warning times and saved lives.
This first (2007) season of the Discovery Channel's "Storm Chasers" tracks a brave team of scientists and an IMAX film maker as they traverse Texas, Kansas, and other locations in Tornado Alley in search of twisters. The scientists use radar to estimate where to plant their probes that obtain tornado data, and the series shows how much guesswork and frustration is inherent in storm chasing, as when the team missed the devastating Greensburg, Kansas storm.
However, the chasers do also have their moments of success in their pursuit of tornadoes, and the series would be of interest to any weather enthusiast.
Summary of Storm Chasers/Perfect Disaster
Join the hunt for the devastating, violent twisters that rip through America's Great Plains, aka "Tornado Alley," in each exciting episode of Storm Chasers. Research meteorologist Josh Wurman and extreme filmmaker Sean Casey put their lives on the line to capture this unprecedented footage shot from inside tornadoes tearing their way across the central U.S. Shooting from a 14,000-pound tank topped with a custom-designed filming turret, you won't believe what the team encounters as they drive straight into the unknown heart of these deadly storms. This set also includes all six episodes of the program, Perfect Disasters:They are "perfect" in the most chilling sense of the word: These are the storms bigger, more dangerous and more deadly than any before them. What would happen if a mega tornado reduced downtown Dallas to a war zone within minutes? How would the 7 million inhabitants of Hong Kong survive if the super typhoon sets its sights on the island? Scientists know it could happen, and with live action, CGI, archival footage and in-depth interviews with today's top experts, Discovery Channel shows you how.
