Glen Powell is basically the love child of Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise!

I worked as a VFX artist on this film for the last 9 months, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! I was always hoping it'd come together as a fun summer blockbuster popcorn spectacle in the end. You keep me entertained a lot through long work hours with all your reviews and discussions. Keep up the great content, cheers!

If Bill Paxton endured he would have had the best cameo in this

I'm a storm chaser and watched it on Wednesday. Here's my take on why to watch: 1. Shot on 35mm was beautiful. It was that alone that made me feel a little like I was watching the original, or any awesome action movie in the 80s and 90s. 2. There's so much they got right with real weather terminology and the storm structures. From sharing about how storms need lift, moisture, and instability, to seeing CGI tornados that actually have vertical motion to them... often felt like the real deal. 3. The characters DO have depth and the acting far exceeded the expectations I had going into it. I was particularly impressed with Anthony Ramos' character and found most of them likeable. 4. It felt great to be in a crowded theater feeling the ground shaking and laughing at the comedic moments alongside others doing the same. We need more movies like this to return to theaters. Not asking for award winning stuff, just a good story, good acting, and a solid reason to pay premium money for popcorn and a soda.

"This is the Glen Powell show, *inhales* YEEEEEEEEEEE" - Jeremy Jahns

Dude, I literally laughed myself to tears at the Glen Powell "YEEEEE" bit. That was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Thanks for that! 😂

Wow, I can't believe they rebooted the movie my third grade teacher always gave substitute teachers to stick on so we'd shut up.

When Glen Powell gives a cheeky smile it is impossible not to smile back. The chsrisma is off the charts!

The end credits to the first Twister is absolutely GOATED. Massive super cell backgrounds and tornados all while 'Respect the Wind' instrumental by Eddie van Halen plays is just a vibe no one has topped since.

Twister was the whole reason we got surround sound as a kid. Absolutely loved that movie!

I’m happy to see back on your feet after the acolyte Jeremy. Stay strong brother.

Duuuude I saw this in a 4D cinema and it was incredible. Seats bumping around, mist, wind fans, definitely worth seeing like that if you can.

Jeremy Jahns: Come for the Integrity, Stay for the YEEEEEE!s

Don’t mind me, just time stamping the best part of this 3:20

The "YEEEEEEEE" bit was HILARIOUS 😆😂

As an Oklahoman, the only issue I had with the movie was they didn’t portray us correctly. If the sirens turn on, we walk outside and look up! We check for ourselves to see if we need to get to the shelter or not! There is no fear or panic! 😂

“The storm’s that way! Yeeeee!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂

My wife would've loved this movie...Twister was one of her favorites...

Okay, that Glen Powell impression cracked me up 😂

Man the first twister saved my life as a kid. Tieing my self down with a belt saved my life once.

That boy from Spy Kids 3D has come a long way.

LMAO dude the "YEEEEEEE" rant made me laugh so hard I dropped my phone! 😂

3:43 that is old school Jeremy energy right there and I’ve missed it 😂😂😂

I think this movie is absolutely incredible. I am a trained storm spotter and they nailed it with terminology without boring people with weather nerd speak. They also did a great job at respecting the original and not re-creating it. As you said Jeremy, the had good nods, but 2 different stories. Loved it!

Saw Twister in theaters in 1996. Loved it ever since. Bill Paxton is my favorite actor and it was a huge guilty pleasure movie of mine. Looking forward to seeing Twisters this weekend.

I love the call-back to The Shining playing at the drive-in scene in the original film and in the new one, Frankenstein is playing in the movie theater and as the doctor exclaims "IT'S ALIVE", the entire screen and wall get sucked out! Favorite scene in the new movie!

One of the best reviewers on RU-vid, he seems to get it right 90% of the time.

That final YEEEEEEEEEEE! Was much appreciated

I’d like to see a sequel to Independence Day that doesn’t suck.

Your Glenn Powell impression had me hysterical. I needed thatI

Twisters was amazing. I grew up in the American south, I was always terrified of storms and was obsessed with meteorology. I saw the original Twister in theatres in the middle of a tornado warning and have always considered it a classic. In my opinion Twisters is better. This movie was insanely charming, and absurdly intense. Everyone in my row was cringing and shouting at the screen, my wife kept grabbing my hand as tight as my butt cheeks were clinched. The cinematography was actually pretty gorgeous in a lot of shots, the acting was very acceptable, the chemistry between the characters was top notch, and most of the characters were well presented, received plenty of character depth and establishment and... The scenes with the tornados taking people were straight out of a horror movie. Lighting, camera, effects. And the sound effects of the Tornadoes were exactly what they should be. I really, firmly, believe it is the best movie I have seen this year. Don't sleep on this one.

I'm sure Twisters was a good pallette cleanser for The Acolyte

That optical illusion at the end got me. Damn you, Jeremy, you clever bastard.

Fun thing: The director of this movie is the two times oscar nominated director of Minari (2020)

I did NOT see Glen Powell in that picture 😂

I remember being so afraid watching this movie. I could've never imagined how terrifying one could actually be until one moved past our house like a train. We got under a mattress in the hall, and I remember covering my youngest brother. We thought we were going to die, and when it was gone, we all stepped outside to a clear starry sky.

It's being reported Glen is staring in the reboot of Backdraft. it's like he's remaking every movie he saw on HBO as a kid

I was born in 92. We had the original twister on vhs when I was growing up. I kid you not as a young kid that movie was literally my favorite. I’m super excited for this

can confirm, I did not see Glen Powell.

It could have been cool when the mother of Kate came on screen, if she was Helen Hunt's character from the original Twister! Or if there was some other cameo to connect both movies..

Honestly…it was a really solid movie. The “first” is too (finally saw it last Friday) but this one got the job done.

3:50 Jeremy’s Glen Powell roast is spot on I can’t lol

Glenn Powell was the main draw for me. He’s been on my radar ever since Top Gun Maverick

I've come back and watched to "YEE!" bit about a dozen times. 😆

YEEEEEHHHHH! Dude. Give a warning next time. I just sprayed my tea up my nose, all over the screen, me and my dog….. the cat ran too fast….

Thank you, Jeremy. I'm going to see this tonight, and I'm to crack a smile every time Glen Powell gives a "YEEE" 😅

I actually like twister in the 90’s. I was a kid then. Going to see twisters this Sunday!!

I want to see a legitimate Mount Saint Helens vfx docu-drama. I was born that day, so I've always been fascinated with the stories surrounding the event.

1:37 anyone else felt traumatized with that lake scene with grandma helping pushing the boat in the movie Dante’s peak

The thing I loved about the "YEEEEEEE"ing is how it completely disappeared once the cameras were off. He's still the same person, he wasn't FAKING for the camera, he was just dialing his personality up to 11 for the internet. He needed funds in order to continue chasing storms and helping people in the aftermath, and RU-vid is how he did it. When it was just him and Kate, he was still bold, masculine, charming and a little brash, but he wasn't YEEEEEEE. And I loved that. It explained him being over the top in the beginning, without making him need to apologize for anything. And done in a really understated way. And I cannot DESCRIBE how incredible it was to see a good-old-fashioned masculine men on screen again. Tyler, Javi AND Kate's initial boyfriend were all bold, competent, intelligent, and brave. All of them were willing to put their lives on the line to protect people. None of them had to apologize for being men or grovel to the "more evolved" female character. They were all just people.

3:41 This is the most Jeremy has ever made me laugh, lmao

I really want to take my mother to see this. She loved the first movie when she saw it a long time ago, and even though the sequel doesn't have Bill Paxton or Helen Hunt, it still looked really great!

Oh man i wish Bill Paxton was still with us, a cameo from him in this movie would have been legendary... Twisters is such a great throwback to a simpler time at the movies, i hope it makes some good money.

I was so sad there were absolutely no scenes with long mixed convoys of various vehicles driving down long stretches of Oklahoma roads while Van Halen’s “Human’s Being” blasts. That would have been the coolest lol.

Really wanted to watch it due to Glen Powell. Love him and his chemistry with the actress in Set It Up. Anyway this film looks fun

Wow that’s so accurate about if this sequel had happened in 1998 Glens role would be Matt McConaughey

Just spit some coffee out when Jeremy hit the first YEEEE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jeremy is hands down my favorite movie reviewer. Video length is concise and well-used, he focuses on themes and quality over socio-political issues, and he's just a relatable, funny guy. Thanks for another good review!

What's truly incredible is how well the 1996 CGI still holds up if you go back and watch the bluray version of that movie. I was extremely impressed! Like, CGI has honestly gotten worse than 1996 CGI in recent years. Yikes.

Just saw the movie, and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised. It doesn't really hold a candle to the original, something about that movie feels a lot more visceral than this one despite more people being sucked up by twisters, but it's still pretty good. Aside from Dorothy V (I'm actually surprised it was only V and not like XIII or something), I didn't catch anything else from the original movie. I thought for sure Kate was Billy and Jo's kid and Tyler was the bastard son of Jonas, but they didn't go that direction, and I don't know if I like that or if I'm disappointed. Obviously we were never going to get Billy or the best character ever, Dusty, in the movie, may Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman rest in peace, but I was amazed nobody else from the original crew made an appearance. They didn't even use any of the same music, it really is a standalone sequel, so I mean, at this point it might as well have just been a remake, and it ostensibly does do some of the same tricks as the original, but I'm not mad either because that's kind of what I was here to see. So yeah, good enough as is, not amazing.

Perfect 4DX movie ever! The screen I watched Twisters on was surprisingly big for a 4dx screen and the movie was the same quality level as the original twister. Daisy Edgar Jones was the main character, from a narrative standpoint, if a singular protagonist had to be chosen. Fantastic film, it was.

I loved "Dante's Peak." It would be awesome to have a sequel.

Glen Powell is one of those few stars that can attract an audience to see any movie

OMG!!! 😂😊😂😊😂😊 I love your "YEEEE" bit. Reminded me of Grover from Seasame Street!!

Twisters, but everytime Glen Powell shouts, "YEE!"

The movie was a great escape from reality. There were not hidden agendas , or messages. Nobody preached to the audience . My kids and I loved it.

Twisters is truly the best summer movie to watch. Truly enjoyed. ❤

During the wave of 90s disaster movies, our local newspaper ran a cartoon on the opinions page. It was a movie poster depicting a guy stepping out onto his lawn to get the morning paper, when his bare feet land in soaking wet grass. The title was: "DEW: Heavier Than Usual". For 25 years that has been the disaster movie parody that I've been wanting to see.

Makeup, set dressing, and props look better on 35mm as well. Older filming formats hid a lot of the flaws.

It is NOT a sequel. There are a few references to the original film, but other than that there are practically no ties whatsoever.

Damn! Jeremy’s off the WALL in this review!!!!

I remember in 1997, there were two volcano disaster movies. Volcano, and Dante's Peak.

1:16 to skip the ad

My problems: A man was blown off her back and into the sky yet her hair didn't move. He goes out of the way to find her for her miraculous instinct for storms even though she killed his friends for not recognising how big a storm was. The man hires a woman after her friends died and then he's in shock she's got PTSD about storms. Glen's crew were given just one line of character development...douche. They acted like being around the storm was a race even though their missions were completely different and there's enough room for all of them. The music throughout is grating. The gormless Brit is tantamount to xenophobia at this point. Watching Glen pull up to Kate in the car, give a "charming but cocky" smile then driving off became tiresome. To show her empathy...Instead of going to find the data they've collected, she insists they go to a small town affected to "help'. Cut to ruined house and she's handing the house owner a photo album that's on the floor. In One scene they make 4 people leave a brick built building to go stand in the open. 2 of those 4 people died. Thats all.

Glen is just Stan'ing Reed Timmer man. If you've ever watched Reed, you'd recognize the influence immediately.

I thought it was a mix of Pride & Prejudice meets tornadoes. It was a fun movie, but don’t believe the physics. In fact, there are so many moments where you think, “that can’t really happen, right?” But the only moment that truly pulled me out was near the end when they back up the pickup truck with a really long trailer and it backs up perfectly with a tornado nearby and doesn’t jackknife. 😅

Movie: About swirly winds going whoosh. ZERO lectures about climate change. Me : I'm sold. * opens wallet *

Jeremy is too kind, he did not once mention that this was a "boss babe" and "woman strong, woman singlehandedly saves world" type movie. Dear Hollywood, we notice. *"YEEE!"* I went to go watch it after watching this review. *5.7/10*

I didn’t know that’s where you were going with that optical illusion, but I’m proud to say it worked! 😂

What's really cool about this movie is that they renovated a motel and built a mock bull riding stadium across the street from where I live and seeing them film there was pretty cool.

Jermey I have been watching you for literally years and years and brother never change my friend u always find a way to put a smile on my face and even if it is only for a brief few minutes my mind is NOT focused on irl bs and that is worth it weight in gold right now 🙂

I'd say this is more like if the script to Twister was never made into a movie in the 90's, got passed around Hollywood over the past 28 years, getting rewritten and rewritten, until it finally got greenlit and in 2024, you have "Twisters".

So basically Glen Powell is Playing Reed Timmer then? am I getting that right?

I lost it the moment Jeremy did the Glen powell character impersonation 😂

Hopefully the twisters fuses and becomes a massive mega twister that only the original twister from the first movie comes to fight it to get help from the newer, smaller twister. And in the end once the mega twister is defeat the older twister nods to the new younger twister to pass the torch

That was a good optical illusion gag at the end 😂😂

JJ rocking some "yees"

As a storm chaser whose entire fascination with tornadoes and storm chasing all started with the original, I was SUPER nervous when they announced a sequel...but man they knocked it out of the park. They perfectly capture the excitement of being on a chase. Plus they used actual meteorology terms AND used them correctly. 10/10

Now add sharks 🦈 🌪

The original twister made me fall in love with dodge grand caravan …. As they looked dope af back then …

IF Jeremy becomes an actor he would be hilarious. 😂 3:51

Saw twisters today in theaters. Loved it and said it was better. Me and the lady went to watch the first again on max and honestly, the first leaned HEAVY into the personal and emotional and characters, the second leaned heavier with the weather aspects. Both were awesome in different ways and whatever they shied away from they still did excellent. Glen Powell is about to do backdraft too so, top gun, twisters, now backdraft. Man is killing it

The Yeeeeeee at the end had me rolling 😂

Cracking up on the YEES!

Twister is legit my favorite movie of all time. Perfect 90s summer popcorn flick.

6:44 Jeremy: Glen Powell was in that picture, but you didn't see him did ya? Me: Nah, I did see him Jeremy. Some of us are gay 😂

As a big tornado nerd who watches tornado livestreams all the time (shout out to Reed Timmer the GOAT), this was very accurate stuff

it was fine 6/10, once i saw the teams i said ooohhhh its just twister in reverse. we are on the bad guys team, the team thats just in it for the money not the SCIENCE! i also think his bad ass truck took away from the movie a bit...if you can just drive into a tornado then where is the tension.... ALSO...I can't be the only one that thinks clearly the main character was supposed to be Helen Hunt's daughter originally. I mean they even did a weird mom reveal out of the shadows like we're supposed to know who this random woman is

Saw this movie in 4DX and wow just wow. First time in a while I’ve witnessed the entire theater clapping once the credits started rolling. Well done. 👍🏽
