In the article, the author discusses the beauty of Jan De Bont's 1996 blockbuster "Twister" and how it reimagined the classic romantic comedy "His Girl Friday" with a tornado-chasing backdrop. Now, Lee Isaac Chung's "Twisters" follows a similar formula, blending action sequences with a romantic character-driven plot. The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as Kate, a meteorologist with a unique theory to dissipate tornadoes. When she teams up with her old storm-chasing partner Javi, they face challenges from high-tech storm-chasers and ethical dilemmas. Despite some silliness, the film offers more depth by exploring moral complexity in a capitalist system. With a strong ensemble cast and impressive visual scale, "Twisters" stands out as a legacy sequel done right, capturing the breezy vibes and spirit of the original "Twister" while bringing its own charm to the modern blockbuster landscape.
