Description:
Follow the people who follow the storms. Prepare to take a ride inside some of the most extreme weather conditions experienced on earth. Hurricanes, monsoons, and tornadoes are the stars of "Stormchasers" (38 min.), an exhilarating large-format film by MacGillivray Freeman Films. Weather is one of the most evolving and exciting areas of science, one that we experience every day. In "Stormchasers," we join storm-chasing meteorologists who track extreme weather conditions in order to understand how they form. Ever wonder "how did they do that?" "The Making of 'Stormchasers'" (29 min.), shot in High-Definition Video, takes you behind the scenes. Disc 2 includes the complete feature in Microsoft Windows Media High Definition, playable on your PC.

Hold on to that thinking cap: it might just blow away from its host's tornado pace in Stormchasers! Like courageous scientists who put themselves in peril to understand and predict storms, viewers are challenged to absorb buckets of facts regarding heat, air, and water in this 30-minute Way Cool Science gem. Host Max Orbit bops easily from role to role: narrator, teacher, study coach, overall weather enthusiast. Titles pop onscreen in big, clear type to help kids absorb the vocabulary that accompanies topics like air pressure, climate zones, clouds, atmosphere, and weather-predicting tools. Zippy footage of raging hail, time-lapsed evaporation, whipping hurricanes, blazing sunshine, and evolving clouds further enliven this invigorating journey. So do the handful of science projects and experiments Max demonstrates. Smart, slightly wacky, and truly comprehensive, Stormchasers plays like a dynamite intro or finale to any weather unit geared toward 8- to 14-year-olds. --Liane Thomas

This was a very disappointing DVD. IMAX has some great stuff but this was NOT one of them. The additional "Making footage" adds to the disappointment. 1. They mentioned how they had to make their own monsoon. This is moderately amusing until you learn (in the "making") that India was in the middle of a drought and they had tons of water trucked in to satisfy a deskbound producer who insisted they do it. 2. Wow, a plane flying through a hurricane. Great footage of the pilots looking out the ... Read More

This is good for what it is - a short IMAX film about stormchasing. Most IMAX films are 45 minutes or less, so a viewer should not be expecting a real-life two hour version of Twister. It also covers a lot of material, so it doesn't go into depth. Also, the team fails to see tornadoes and then when they get one, they run out of film (this often happens in IMAX because they can only shoot something like 90 seconds at a time). Overall, though, pretty good.

As a severe storm lover, I eagerly awaited this DVD. The opening sceen starts out wonderful with beautiful DTS sound. Then it quickly goes down hill from there. It interviews a few "Hurricance Experts" and chasers, shows video of them flying through the eyewall of Hurricane Emily. From there, well it really does not show much more on Hurricanes. Then Tornadoes are discussed. Video of only one tornado and the chase! I was disappointed! I was expecting lightning, towering thunderstorms and a few more ... Read More

I was very disappointed with this video. There was little actual storm footage. Mostly about the weather equipment.

I'm not sure if it was the huge screen, or what, but when I saw this feature in Omnimax it was much more impressive! The video is good, the sound is awesome on a surround sound system, but there is little storm footage. If I wanted to watch the people who chase storms, I could turn on TLC or the Discovery channel.
Spend your money on Twister if you're looking for a storm flick! Sure the tornados are Hollywood-made but at least you get to see them for more than 60 seconds!! This DVD ...! ... Read More
