Decades later and Twisters is here, but can it escape the curse of other similar outings?
Twister is a beloved classic for a reason. The cast is stellar with leads Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton backed up with a team of stars, including the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. It has the perfect amount of 90s cheese where a cow carried by a tornado can be played completely seriously and it manages to pull off both the danger and wonder of one of Earth’s most amazing natural phenomena.
Powell’s character Tyler, on the other hand, is the scrappy one this time around. He’s a successful YouTuber who chases tornados to make content and sell merch. But he and his team are also shown to have hearts of gold as they always help those affected by the natural disasters, and use money from their merch to buy food for the displayed. Aww, so sweet.
What do we get in Twisters? Characters who know everything and run around shouting nonsense like “fire up the hard drives” as they drive a good old ‘Merican truck into a tornado. Twisters is maybe the most popcorn movie of popcorn movies that we’ve seen in a few years and we can see why it’s being positioned as a big American Summer blockbusters. If you go in with those expectations, we think most won’t be disappointed.
Just try and eat your movie snacks in the quiet parts. The 4DX seat movement is so intense that you may spill and it would be a real shame to see such a popcorn movie without popcorn.
