Actually, I thouroughly enjoyed the movie. It is more of a documentary about Reed and Joel... chasers that love to get close. However, it stresses that this is their personal style. It goes into their background, why the way they area, and also goes into some of the after effects of Reed's past actions (Such as the yelling during the Manchester video.) If people see how he pretty much woops and hollars during every video... people might not of made such a big deal about that incident...
There is comentary by several others about the pair from the OU metr community, and this does a good job putting how they fit into the whole storm chasing scene.
I personally know Reed, and understand he is just an extremely outgoing guy that likes to get close. I think people who watch the movie will have a better understanding about the pair after watching. As Joel states in the movie, they don't wanna see people get hurt... they get excited (well mainly Reed) and they chase to get close. They feel that its a free country and that most of what is said is opinion... not neccesarily what is right and wrong.
So what made me love the film so much?
It shows how human chasers are (the arguments between Joel and Reed about when to get gas etc.) and how much chasers/meteorologists are in love with the science. It truly is a passion.
