Twisters: Review & Hit or Flop? Was ‘Twisters’ Not the Fun Popcorn Movie You Expected?
Twisters opens with a thrilling prologue that sets the stage for an even more intense sequel. We meet Daisy Edgar-Jones as Kate Carter, a meteorology student who, along with her storm-chasing team, tries to stop a tornado by injecting it with a special compound. Immediately, we jump into action. Kate’s boyfriend, played by Daryl McCormack, meets an early tragic end along with two of Kate’s other friends. This loss changes the dynamic from the original film and adds emotional depth.
The film delves into how these horrific storms affect people not only physically but also emotionally. After losing so much, Kate is shown five years later, away from the chaos of the tornado and trying to move on with her life. But when her old friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) calls for help, Kate is drawn back into a storm-chasing world. Returning to her hometown in Oklahoma, she picks up where she left off, but a moment of panic threatens their mission.
Overall, Twisters is a hit as it combines intense action with high emotional stakes, bringing a fresh perspective to storm-chasing while keeping the excitement alive.
