“Twisters” Movie Review
Manage episode 429746639 series 10748
Rated PG-13
Opens: July 19, 2024
Kevin says Twisters kinda rocks!
Another reboot is roaring into theaters this weekend.
TWISTERS isn’t a direct sequel to the 1996 original, but rather it follows two new groups of rival storm chasers studying tornadoes. With more and more powerful weather events happening, they try to save lives. Along the way, they also learn about each other and their secret motivations.
From a formulistic standpoint, TWISTERS is a perfect summer popcorn movie. It’s got a hot, young stars, great special effects, loads of spectacle, and a perfectly fine – if not utterly ludicrous – storyline.
But it’s also a complete disaster when it comes to real science, logic, and writing. I mean, it literally borrow a major plot point from SHARKNADO, for cryin’ out loud.
In this sense, TWISTERS is simultaneously just as good and just as bad as its 90s counterpart.
It makes for a fun summer movie, but it’s also a forgettable blip on the Doppler radar.
TWISTERS gets three Auntie Ems out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
