Verdict: 4/5
This month’s new disaster flick ‘Twisters’ is a follow-up to the hit 1996 movie and is a fun, charming and action packed 122 minutes.
The story follows former storm chaser and meteorologist Kate Cooper (Daisy Edgar-Jones) as she is brought back into the world of tornadoes by friend Javi (Anthony Ramos).
Kate meets self-proclaimed ‘tornado wrangler’ Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) who helps Kate bring back research she was previously working on in an effort to try and tame a tornado.
Without any spoilers, I do think the end of the movie successfully gratified the motives of the plot – ‘Twisters’ concluded each of the main characters’ storylines in what I deem to be satisfying endings.
This movie is definitely worth seeing on a big screen – the CGI technology used intensified the action sequences and told an incredible visual story.
The run time of two hours flew by in a breeze, as the well written story and good acting really engaged the audience and made them feel what the characters were feeling.
I was initially a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to relate to the drama and tension of experiencing a tornado as we don’t get any here in western Sydney, but the story did all the work for me.
All I can say is I never want to be near a tornado!
I highly suggest seeing this movie while it is in cinemas.
See this movie at Hoyts Penrith.
