Daisy Edgar-Jones esittää Kate Cooperia, entistä myrskynjahtaajaa, jota piinaa musertava kohtaaminen pyörremyrskyn kanssa opiskeluaikoina, ja joka nyt opiskelee myrskymalleja turvallisesti kuvaruudulta New Yorkissa. Katen ystävä Javi houkuttelee hänet takaisin avoimille tasangoille testaamaan uutta, mullistavaa seurantajärjestelmää. Siellä Kate törmää Tyler Owensiin (Powell), hurmaavaan ja holtittomaan sosiaalisen median supertähteen, joka kukoistaa jakaessaan riehakkaalle ryhmälleen myrskynjahtausseikkailujaan – mitä vaarallisempia, sen parempia. Myrskykauden voimistuessa ennennäkemättömät ilmiöt pääsevät valloilleen, ja Kate, Tyler ja heidän kilpailevat ryhmänsä huomaavat olevansa suoraan Oklahomaa lähestyvien myrskyjärjestelmien keskellä taistelemassa hengestään.

I went to see the new release of the week in theaters yesterday which is kind of being seen as a sequel to the 90's film Twister and it's not bad, but it didn't completely blow me away unfortunately. It was nice to see Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar Jones, who plays the sort of intelligent woman who figures everything out. Visually it's decent, I liked that it keeps things down to earth and there are no overblown CGI attractions or destruction, it's quite realistic, but there's not a lot of action and it could have been presented more impressively (there aren’t many buildings flying off, the body-count isn't high, either, and I expected the atmosphere to be a bit more unpleasant and intense). For me there were a few deaf spots, it doesn't have a very adrenaline pace and I wouldn't watch the film again, or I wouldn't mind at all if I kept the film until I got home, it wouldn't change the experience. Passable average and a plus for the fact that disaster movies don't come around much anymore, but maybe it's not my cup of tea. 6/10.

This sequel to the 1990s classic doesn't bring back familiar characters, but it does bring back a familiar style. Lee Isaac Chung conceived Twisters as a 90s disaster actioner that isn't afraid to be a little silly and naive for the sake of fun, relies on likable heroes and big action scenes with good visual effects, and realistically doesn't surprise with anything at all. For the two hours, however, it entertains very pleasantly.

The first Twister is still a perfect summer blockbuster that hasn’t aged even in the action scenes, which are impressive thanks mainly to their sound design and the well-portrayed characters. At first glance, the new Twisters appears to be only a superficial update, with younger and better-looking actors who are able to convince you that climatology is hot. The setting is the same. We again watch two teams of storm chasers rushing after tornados. The dangerous situations (and science) again serve to bring the protagonists together. This time, however, they are not separated spouses (so this isn’t a tense variation on the marriage comedy), but representatives of two very different worlds: a cultivated urban lady and loud dude from the American South. The Southern setting is crucial for the story, as socio-cultural prejudices are overcome along with the traumas. The film implies that without cooperation and without stepping out of the position of mere viewers creating exclusive content for our YouTube channels, we cannot face disasters (the climax aptly takes place partly in a cinema, the last refuge before the apocalypse). I found the plot-driving transformation of the two main characters from witnesses to participants in the action who pursue the collective interest rather than their own personal interest to be sufficiently compelling and emotionally and intellectually stimulating that I could enjoy the film, even with all of its cliches, as a pleasantly straightforward disaster movie from the Spielberg school. 75%

A classic American disaster romp, with likable actors and nature destroying towns, factories and power lines. Daisy Edgar-Jones is incredibly endearing, i want more of her, and Glen Powell kicks his career into high gear, and the tornadoes return with full force. The romantic line works well, but the action is the main thing here, and there's plenty of it. Cars and people flying, sheet metal being ripped and ears whistling. Lee Isaac Chung delivered what he was supposed to, but it's hard to say if he'll earn a threequel. Man kills nature once again, what do the environmentalists say?

Nowadays, good visual effects are more of a standard, not extraordinary as they were in the 90s, so the initial fascination is no longer there. Twister didn’t have many iconic shots (the flying cow), and when you remember it today, it feels “overdone”, so this film won't impress or surprise you with anything. And neither is the clichéd plot that brings nothing new and where you guess every scene ahead of time. The only saving grace is the central cast, who have a nice chemistry, although I have to say that I'm starting to get tired of Glen Powell's "wannabe sex appeal", and I've only seen him in three films so far. Maybe in his case it wouldn't hurt to try something different.
