13 Minutos de Tormenta

Just like all the other reviews say this movie is a typical gender X film. It has gay / lgbt/ abortion / womens body rights blah blah blah. This could have be a GOOD movie about a bunch of strangers coming together (this is what I thought it would be) but instead typical Hollywood disaster with political crap.

This movie was plain awful. For those saying it was full of liberal talking points, that may be true. Here's the thing though, I'm as liberal as they come & this movie was horrendous. It doesn't matter if you lean left or right. Terrible is terrible. Terrible acting, terrible story, just all around terrible. While watching, it crossed my mind that this movie had to be some sort of money laundering scheme. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Honestly.

I'm a storm chaser so I was really eager to see that movie when I first saw the trailer. I can say that everything weather related in that movie was spot on and very realistic.

As for the plot, « cliche » is the best word that comes to my mind to describe it. Too many sub-stories to really make you care about the characters. At first when I saw the trailer, I really thought that the main focus was on weather but it's not. But overall I have to give the passage note.

The essence of this disaster movie is the same as all other. Get the audience emotionally attached to the characters, have a disaster, then pick straws to see who survives. Problem is there have been a few Tornado movies in the last few years, all of which have been equal to or better than this one. The acting is okay, but it's too drawn out and you end up not caring who's pushing up the daisies.

If you're expecting 'Twister 2.0', then please give '13 Minutes' a pass and look elsewhere.

After watching the trailer, I was expecting a movie about tornadoes!!..not an 'edge of you seat' experience, but something along the lines of 'Night of the Twisters'..

'13 Minutes' is NOT a tornado movie, it's a suspense/drama..full of PC storylines, that happens to include a tornado at the end of Act II.

So, if you're just looking for an average movie to pass the evening, then '13 Minutes' might be for you..but if you're looking for a suspense-filled twister flick, you'll be disappointed.
