When the storm arrived, the house was gone in an instant, and all the people and cars were blown away. What's even worse is that tornadoes are becoming more and more powerful, and monsters like "twin tornadoes" have even appeared.
Because of the setting of the oil refinery, the giant tornado in the movie directly destroyed the oil refinery. There were sparks and explosions everywhere, and then the flames turned into a "fire tornado", and the whole place looked like a doomsday scene. .
The town destroyed by the storm reveals naked humanity. Although scientists have data in hand, they are unable to assist the affected people, while greedy real estate developers take advantage of the opportunity to purchase at low prices, unable to let go of immediate profits even when they are about to die.
In this group, there are scientists who love meteorology, explorers who like adventure, and director Lee Isaac Zheng. Because the director is very interested in "storm chasers" in real life, he is in the movie , he portrays the Storm Chasers as brave and fearless, seeing the world through their eyes. Watching them explore the breathtaking natural wonders in the movie is truly addictive.
The image of the heroine Kate in the movie is also very attractive. She is smart, brave, resourceful, and actively helps people around her. Later in the plot, there is a scene where the heroine drives into the storm alone. In the storm, the heroine's whole body exudes The light of humanity.
In the face of the power of nature, human beings' desire for survival is aroused. The protagonist group must not only avoid the storm, but also help those affected by the disaster. The whole process is exciting and makes people's hearts beat faster.
"Tornado" not only makes you enjoy watching, it also discusses the causes, prevention and reconstruction of natural disasters in depth through the perspective of wind-chasing scientists, full of humanistic care. After reading it, you can't help but lament the insignificance of human beings. At the same time, you will also feel awe of nature and think about the relationship between man and nature.
