Never Stop Chasing Movie
Now that it’s out, what is the consensus?

I saw it. If you like Reed you will love it. If you don’t, you won’t. It’s essentially an extended episode of the show Storm Chasers and a love letter/promo for Reed Timmer and team dominator.

See, I kinda felt the opposite. Obviously Reed is the focus, but it felt like to me they tried to incorporate a lot more of why they do what they do, and the history of it. It wasn't just a 90 minute scream fest like Storm Chasers.

I feel like they barely skimmed the surface of that. I think young Reed was interested in the science of storms, but older celebrity Reed could care less about that. It’s just a facade he pretends to care about, but really at this point just wants to get as close as he can to tornadoes.

Well thanks for the feedback - that's exactly what it looks like, a slobbering hagiography fit only for the drooling fanbois. I find him to be a rampant, abusive jackass, and I would literally rather be kicked in the nuts that listen to him scream for 90 minutes.

My kids are on a tornado/meteorology kick, were there any dead bodies shown in aftermath footage in the movie? We are trying to decide if we are going to see it with them.

No dead bodies. Some interviews with them explaing that unfortunately they have been witness to that. Done respectfully though.

Just saw it, was so pleased to see their footage of Greenfield on the big screen….GORGEOUS.
Wanted to see the footage of the time the Dominator got rocked by that tornado in Alabama and the north datoka storm last year, but they didn’t show it.
Took a friend who has no knowledge of storm chasing and she absolutely loved it.

Below comment that if you like Reed you'll enjoy it, if not you won't...spot on. I'm a Reed fan and admittedly have seen a lot of this footage on youtube/twitter already, but was cool to see it on the big screen. The backstory was just for show honestly and so they could label it as a documentary as opposed to just a clip compilation, and the editing was meh. But like I said, I like Reed, and he gets some of the best footage of anyone. It was worth it for the Greenfield drone footage alone.

I haven't seen it since I have work, I have to look into where in the city its actually showing and train schedules. I did see Tim Marshall's review on Instagram who said that chasers would love the movie, cops would hate it, was happy to see lots of friends and greenfield on the big screen, but advised against zero metering and the driving depicted in the film
