I saw the original Twister when I was 6. After the movie was over, we walk out into one hell of a thunderstorm. On our way home, we ended up hydroplaning and nearly crashed into a semi. I would like to thank that experience for a fear of tornadoes that enraptured me through my entire childhood.
the original was just so much fun. I would hope this too be a good send up, i didn't expect it too surpass it, honestly, the OG was lightning in a bottle.
The original was fun but this one is as good if you ditch the "classic is better" mentality. The original has too many movie continuity error and I don't think I caught too many from this one. The OST of the original is unbeatable though.
Main character was making a lot of stupid decisions, but the script kept telling the audience she was so smart. Movie was ok. Better if you saw it for free
I would normally agree about the lack of romance in movies today, but the final scene made up for it. I don’t remember the last mainstream that ended on a “cute” romantic moment like that
The original Twister was my very first DVD! I remember watching it so much not only because I loved the movie, but I was in awe with the power of DVD, LOL.
Is there a reason why every big budget action movie has the cast looking utterly bored in the poster? Piss yellow colour grading and bored actors, really gets you pumped to see it
In the end, it seems that most of the complaints about this film in particular, and films in general, are that the film they watched doesn’t meet their preconceived expectations-which is kind of unfair because should just judge the film for what it actually is, not what it lacked in their mind.
The problem is the lack of creative originality, and thus writers and producers are constantly "saving" stuff for future movies (hoping there'll be one) rather than making a fully fledged first entry and then coming up with new ideas for a sequel.
Really had fun with this one ..better than I expected .....dialogue abit corny sometimes lead did a great job but overall good 7/10 Only complaint was actress who played the mother had so much lip filler in her top lip it was ridiculious my partner joked "her lip should have been in the credits ."..😅
This movie was so weird. The original with Jan de Bont was so riveting. It had the romance between Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt but it wasn't forced. And it was not the focus of the movie. This movie was all about the relationship between Anthony Ramos, Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones. And the sound and lighting on this movie was terrible. I almost wanted to ask the movie theater to turn the sound up because it was waaayyy too quiet during the action scenes. But when the credits started rolling with the outro music it was louder than the rest of the film!!
I was 14 as well when Twister came out. I saw it in the theater twice, once with my parents and another time with my friends. I swear that movie made Dodge trucks the IT thing to drive for a few years. My parents even ended up buying a Quad Cab Dodge Dakota a couple of years later. lol.
I'd seen the first in a great theater, massive screen, great projectors and sound, and it was a kick in the pants. That option is now gone sadly, so many miles away now...
My mum made me watch this in 4k instead of watching Inside Out 2. At first i thought it would be horrible, but it was amazing and it deserves more than 7/10.But i got angry when Kate and Tyler never got together
TWISTERS was so UN-realistic. 😢 The lead male is supposedly a rising RU-vid star ... but hardly any cell phones are to be seen in the hands of the townspeople or other cast members. The citizens of Oklahoma are shown watching or participating in outdoor entertainments (rodeo, baseball and street festivals) blissfully UNAWARE that major storms are brewing. BELIEVE me when I say that in Oklahoma, the tornado sirens in the cities would be going off. People would not be caught off guard. The people in the age of RU-vid would have cell phones out and they'd be tracking the storms. Also, cell phones would be going off with thunderstorm warnings. ⚠️ The small teams of tornado chasers would not need to warn citizens. Not impressed with the script writing.
There is romance and it was quite refreshing to not see the two leads making out in the middle of a natural disaster. I don’t need to see the physical aspect of every relationship on screen, the emotional one was fully out there and it served its purpose of making us care about the characters. If I got into a fistfight with a tornado, my first thought after it wouldn’t be: well let’s get to fucking.
3:47 I agree about movies these days shying away from anything romantic in them. My problem is that when they do have romance, it's almost always instant hookups and raging sex drives instead of earned friendship and growing attraction. Considering that the entire relationship between Kate and Tyler ( which starting with them as rivals) only occurred over the course of a WEEK, I really like that they didn't go right to swapping spit and taking their clothes off. It was a form of storytelling that focused on two people going from rivals, to friends, to romantic interests, without feeling rushed. Yes, I absolutely wanted to see them kiss. But the fact that the movie left me wanting more, was rather delicious.
@alexprinsrealestateagent1263 one Lucas film president is a part of it. She was a part of the original but did have the power she has now. Did you find the stuck-up female choices actually smart, outside of the script telling you. The pool decision was stupid.
I remember going to see twister at the empire leicester square in London we were in outer London we only had a short time to get there it was a rush we made it
As far as special effects are concerned, the small details of Twiters are much better than Twister in 1996! When the tornado in the movie Twisters occurred, the surrounding large trees and grasslands in the distance were shaking, which truly showed how strong winds swept the earth. When the tornado in the 1996 movie occurred, the nearby trees and grass were not shaken. Yes, for me, who often watches real tornado documentaries, this is really unreal. As far as the plot is concerned, there are some flips in the middle of Twisters. The characters in the play go from misunderstanding to understanding each other, from opposing positions to working together. In addition, there are also touching plots. In the first scene, the heroine lost her classmates and friends in the storm and came out sad. I almost cried...😢 Finally, evacuation knowledge was introduced into the film Twisters. How to protect oneself on the spot when there is no underground shelter room was also shown in detail in the film, which served as a demonstration and education.
Depends on where you live some theaters also screen it early like my local one. I am going to see it tomorrow night before when it releases on the 19th
I grew up where if we did not have 12 tornados every spring and fall, the weather was screwy. I HATED the first one. I WON'T waste my time with this one.
From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were-I have not seen As others saw-I could not bring My passions from a common spring- From the same source I have not taken My sorrow-I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone- And all I lov’d-I lov’d alone- Then-in my childhood-in the dawn Of a most stormy life-was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still- From the torrent, or the fountain- From the red cliff of the mountain- From the sun that ’round me roll’d In its autumn tint of gold- From the lightning in the sky As it pass’d me flying by- From the thunder, and the storm- And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view-
Honestly, it’s a 9/10 for me. I honestly felt the writing was smart, each character was developed and portrayed well (I felt for _all_ of them), casting choices were solid, the CGI/VFX were top-notch and intense-looking on screen, and _excellent_ music (👍👍).
None of this is true. Daisy Edgar Jones was clearly acting at times. The trope of the person who quits their passion due to death in the family is ran to the ground so that was cliche and boring. The main character was more depressing and boring than empowering. And every time they made an attempt to “help” anyone they didn’t do anything. Oh and that song, “All men are easy…” whatever that was that felt completely out of context. People say movies are subjective but I just don’t believe anything you said 😂

I loved Twister and I think this one was fun too. Twister had VFx we had not experienced before, which to me makes it so unique. Twisters looks nice and the "Twisters" do have some gravity to them, but I believe we have just become accustomed to that level of CGI these days, which makes some of the magic dissapear. I enjoyed the movie very much, personally.
Dude, 1 question for you, did you watch this movie in 4DX?, if you did not, you're missing out big time. I watched the 1st Twister and loved that movie. This past Friday I watch this new Twisters for the 1st time in 4DX, I'll be 100% honest, I liked this twister better than the 1st. 1st off, Daisy Edgard-Jones is outstanding. The special effects are better than the original and in 4DX, when the wind starts to pick up, you feel that wind in the theater as well. When you combine the movement of the 4DX chairs with the blasts of wind on each side of your head, at your feet and coming right at you along with some mist in the air WOW, awesome!!!! I give the movie a 10 out of 10 in 4DX. Don't waste your money on IMAX, go see it in 4DX
Not bad. But it doesn't include Van Halen's "Humans Being" track which makes it lack the strong heart of the original (which plays in the background during some scenes of the movies though)
This is news to me but when did the original Twister was consider a classic? I saw it in theater and enjoyed it but I do remember most critics trashed it back in the summer of 1996. 🤣
classic among fans. critics usually trash summer blockbusters, ppl love them and nostalgia remains strong, and in 2024 who tf remembers those critics, maybe besides siskel&ebert...?
@@Warszawski_Modernizm I do remember the critics who trashed this film, I'm aging myself here but I was 18 when the film came out and I remember vividly seeing it on opening weekend at local movie theater that just installed the brand new Dolby Digital Surround Sound.
@@pesky716 Thanks. Someone once called me a "Fat Northern Bigot" in the comments section for expressing a trivial opinion on an old, 80's microcomputer. It was so ridiculous I made it my username, just for fun. Some people don't get the joke and take the username at face value, which means they think someone with bigoted opinions recognises themselves as such, advertising it to the world via their username. I thought people were more intelligent than that. I was wrong.
Personally this movie doesn't need a romantic subplot. Cause the way I think of it, if Daisy's character and Glen's character meet with no prior past history, they need time to build chemistry. Sometimes it can't just be instant chemistry like what Hollywood wants all the time. So I disagree with you about the romantic subplot. As a matter of fact, you mentioned the 90s disaster movies like Volcano which did have a romantic sideplot and that completely didn't work mainly cause it was odd having some relationship between Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche.
Considering on the set of the original, the director punched a crew member, causing a mutiny, the cast had to get Hepatitis B shots after an infection scare, and their star, Helen Hunt was raced to a hospital after she got a concussion - mostly from the practical effects...
To be honest, a lot of romance in action movies felt tacked on, especially if the two characters just freshly knew each other during the stressful situation of the movie. Movies like Lake Placid (1999) did the right thing by ending the movie with the two characters going to dinner to know each other more after the events of the movie instead of straight-up kissing or sucking faces. Helen Hunt & Bill Paxton already knew each other _very_ well in the OG Twister so them hooking up at the end after re-igniting their sparks is pretty understandable.
They arealmost always unrealistic in action movies anyway as they are in love after 5 minutes... Tacked on romance have decreased the quality of many good movies.
