Twisters (2024) Movie Thread

[Tom]

I enjoyed watching the original Twister film on TV the other day.

Has anyone seen this new Twisters update? Is it any good?

I thought it was fairly good - a well made big-budget popcorn movie, good pace, (mainly) reasonable acting, plenty of spectacle, storyline was perfectly fine in the context of what it is.

I like Twister, and I'd say anyone that does will find this watchable at worst. It's no masterpiece but it's a lot better than I actually expected it to be.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. What the point of it all is......I'm not quite sure, it bounced from set piece to set piece with no real plot to speak of. But it was never boring, Glen Powell was great, and Daisy Edgar Jones decent enough, I just wish they'd let her use her normal accent and not have to put on the American twang. It's just not necessary. Anyway it's all pretty entertaining.

I wasn't a fan of the original, I only saw it last year, but this was surprisingly good. It's like a 90s movie with modern CGI that isn't overused.
