The Tale Unravels
‘Twisters’ features Kate, a former storm chaser, portrayed by rising star Daisy Edgar-Jones. She puts down her gear following a horrifying tragedy, only to be lured back into the field by an old pal, Javi played by Anthony Ramos. Together, they hope to deploy a revolutionary tracking system in the heart of the storm. Enter Glen Powell as Tyler Owens, a popular YouTube personality leading a band of colorful storm chasers.
The on-screen chemistry between Kate and Tyler fizzes, but guess what? No sparks fly! Don’t you find it odd that in a movie centered around their deepening bond, they don’t connect emotionally? We’d have loved to see a touch of romance, right?
Leaving a Mark
Lee Isaac Chung, who charmed us with ‘Minari,’ stirs the pot as the director of ‘Twisters’. He takes a fresh spin, without necessarily tethering it tightly to the legacy of the original ‘Twister’. His distinctive tribute to down-home Americana shines through this film, even amid the destruction caused by the twisters.
Gripping Action, Missing Romance
Unlike ‘Twister’, the makers of ‘Twisters’ decided to keep any hint of romance at bay. A bummer, right? After all, who doesn’t enjoy a little sprinkle of romance in an action-packed movie!
