I need to admit upfront that this follow-up, arriving years after the original film from 1996, isn’t quite as bad or cheesy as I anticipated. Lee Isaac Chung’s newest movie functions perfectly well as a typical summer action film; it checks all the boxes for what such a release should deliver, and in that respect, it's genuinely enjoyable – up to a certain point. Nevertheless, there’s only so much willingness to overlook things when you’re watching this frequently absurd story, one that often stretches believability. As anticipated, the tornadoes are the main attraction (and, truthfully, they deserve to be), while the film’s familiar, mostly one-dimensional characters and sometimes awkward, very improbable plot step aside for what is clearly (and rightfully) the focus. That doesn't mean these other aspects are completely lost in the shuffle, but their inherently predictable nature and general absence of creativity prevent this movie from standing out as truly unique, especially when compared to its earlier version. This lack of fresh ideas is particularly noticeable with Tyler Owens, portrayed by Glen Powell, whose macho attitude makes him seem more like a careless, uncomplicated country bumpkin than someone who could be considered a credible expert on advanced meteorology. However, I believe that if the filmmakers had emphasized these traits further, they might have turned this into a campy and entertaining experience, which would have helped it distinguish itself rather than attempting to present it as something serious. Ultimately, “Twisters” avoids being a complete failure, but even for disaster movies, it could have benefited from less predictability, fewer clichés, and significantly more originality.
