This is a movie review of a DVD screener of Tornado Alley.
Right now, (January 2012), Tornado Alley is playing at the The Hackworth IMAX Dome Theater at the Tech Museum in San Jose, CA, for the month of January.
And if you appreciate storm chasing and a decent documentary, you will enjoy this IMAX feature.

The opening scene of Tornado Alley is a wondrous visual of a developing storm, which is one of many expansive, beautiful scenic imagery of storms presented to the viewer.
The viewer is then introduced to the 40-vehicle storm chasing team of Vortex 2, or V2. The team of vehicles include radar trucks, equipment deployment teams and other tools of the storm chasing team.
With all the equipment at their disposal, they hope to collect data from the entire life-cycle of a tornado.
It’s the collection of this data that helps the science community learn more about these storms, enabling more efficient early warning systems that can save lives.
