Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBill Paxton had tried to get a sequel to Twister (1996) off the ground for years. After seeing success as the director of films like Frailty (2001), Paxton wanted to direct a modernized telling of the 1925 Tri-State tornado that took the lives of 751 people. Paxton, with the help of producer James Cameron, also wanted the film to have an MPAA R-rating and maintain a realistic depiction of the damages that real tornadoes cause, and planned for it to be shot in 3D. The film at one point had an unofficial schedule date for the summer of 2012 under the title "Twister 3D", but it was ultimately canceled due to budgetary concerns and, years later, by Paxton's death in 2017.

Featured review
Genuinely surprised!
I liked the original 1996 film quite a bit and was skeptical about this sequel. Surprisingly, I actually like "Twisters" slightly more than the original. First off, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell have fantastic chemistry on screen. They take time to build up their relationship and it feels natural. They're surrounded by a cast of interesting, fleshed out side characters that really add to the heart and soul of the film. The entire cast has such an easy flow with each other that the jokes in the script work really well. It's not a comedy, but it's got humor and charm. Second, the plot is pretty light, but vastly entertaining. I thought this film handled the science of tornadoes and potentially disrupting them far better than the original. The special effects are really well done. There are only a few small moments where you can tell some CGI had to be used, but it overall feels pretty real. Really my only real criticism is in regards to a small subplot involving the group Storm Par and their investors. It makes sense (sort of), but I also think you could cut it and rework that part of the story. It doesn't hurt the film, but it also doesn't add to it. Overall, this is a really fun movie with great leads that's slightly better than the original 1996 film. I actually recommend seeing this in the theater if you can, it's worth the ticket price to catch on big screen.
