'Twisters,' released in 2024, follows meteorologist Kate Cooper as she joins a tornado-taming project with disastrous results. Years later, she reunites with survivor Javi to track tornadoes with new technology, meeting tornado wrangler Tyler Owens along the way. As they race to evacuate a town in a thrilling climax, 'Twisters' diverges from traditional disaster film formulas, offering a fresh take on the genre. With dynamic performances from Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos, director Lee Isaac Chung crafts a tense, action-packed film that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. While the film may not appeal to all audiences due to its dialogue and focus on weather phenomena, it offers a unique and entertaining twist on the disaster movie genre. 'Twisters' is a must-watch for fans of thrilling, high-stakes filmmaking.
