Plot 4j2g52
Em Twisters, we follow scientist Kate Cooper (Daisy Edgar-Jones), who, together with his scientist friends, studies a process of “taming” tornadoes, using sensors that suck out moisture, allowing the cold air mass to predominate and eradicate the power of destruction, saving hundreds to thousands of people. lives. The group travels across the state of Oklahoma hunting tornadoes.
In one of these dosing experiments, the group comes across a tornado, initially of a low classification, which over time becomes an F5 classification (the most devastating, in of destructive power). In the incident, Kate lost all her friends, except Javi (Anthony Ramos), who was not facing the tornado up close.
Years and Kate no longer hunts tornadoes, but is a New York City weather analyst. Fate crosses Kate and Javi again, whose former hunting partner opened his own company with financiers after serving in the air force. During his enlistment, Javi helped to develop technology capable of replicating, in precise data, the structure, formation, water concentration and other attributes of any tornado, in addition to tracking it, which would serve to not only identify it in advance, but predict your classification in advance. His company even works in this field: collecting tornado data using the new technological resource.
With that, Javi proposes that Kate and he return to hunting tornadoes, now with a team of experts hired by the character's company. The scientist accepts, with hesitation. While hunting tornadoes for data collection, a famous social media influencer, the reckless and charismatic Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), also s the hunt for the record on his YouTube channel, proving a headache for the tornado team. Javier and Kate.
It's just not “The Headache,” because as Oklahoma's storm season intensifies, tornadoes reach deadly intensity peaks, which lead them to the same path of containing such weather anomalies and surviving this terrifying challenge. Especially for Kate, who in addition to not hunting anymore for years, had trauma triggered by the grief of her friends.

Large Hollywood productions have always allocated a large part of the budget dedicated to hiring high-profile actors, which is fair if we consider that casting news ends up being a form of spotlight and even generating “hype” for the film. . Therefore, with confirmation of Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell e Anthony Ramos, currently considered promising actors in the USA for their exemplary performances in the last 3 years of activity, the expectation was for a good scenic work by both.
Daisy Edgar-Jones has seen himself as a protagonist in productions such as Fresh (2022) normal people (2020) and A Place Far Away From Here (2022). Therefore, as a protagonist also in Twisters, his work as the central figure who connects all the elements of the film, is to please. Daisy manages to have chemistry with all her partners, while managing to set the tone for the character, making it a positive experience in the film.
Yes, Glen Powell e Anthony Ramos shared the same objective: bring charisma to Twisters. Like giving candy to a child, making such a request to Glen It's a piece of cake, with the actor also finding his lively and serious tones when the scene calls for it – even doing much better than Daisy herself, but not because of the actress' incompetence, but because Powell's character has more freedom to be an “8 or 80 ”. For Anthony Ramos, her work is the weakest compared to the two, also super plausible and expected due to its importance in the narrative itself, as a means for Kate to get out of this grief zone and find the motivation she needed.
It's worth mentioning David Corenswet, our future Superman in James Gunn's DCU. The actor is the big highlight apart from the triad of protagonists and the tornado itself. His role as a kind of villain, parallel to the colossal tornadoes, It's very good and gives loyalty, delivering an excellence that gradually evolved in cinema, so that we constantly change our thoughts about his motivation.
Otherwise all the actors in Twisters managed to demonstrate their uniqueness, even though some had more screen time than others – it happens. Don't expect commendable performances, but you can expect good performances for what the film demands.
Direction 1e5g1f
Lee Issac Chung, nominated for an Oscar as writer-director of Minari: In Pursuit of Happiness, commanded the direction of Twisters. His work was also positive because he was able to bring the immersion of climate disasters and to achieve explore the potential of actors. It seemed like Lee had everything under control and managed to leave all the artists free, which directly interferes with their ability to perform.
Unlike the 1996 film, the new version manages to take advantage of all the resources we have available. Because it was still in the 90s and although by then great science fiction films had emerged and reformulated the form of special effects, they were still quite limited and involved major maneuvers. With digitalization, Lee Isaac Chung knew how to use, in moderation, shots from inside the tornadoes and the more real effects of devastation. In fact, in addition to the tornadoes themselves, the proposals for sequence of scenes, shooting angles and camera positioning are a show in themselves.

Mark L. Smith, writer of The Return, signs the script Twisters, maybe the hardest job of the entire film team. As stated in the introduction of the article, directing a sequel, even direct or non-direct, to a successful film with good reviews from the public, requires a lot of study and attention, especially when it is framed as an independent continuation. Because in addition to the creative challenges of any feature film production, the story, the universe and the nostalgia of viewers who have already seen the predecessor film are still trapped in the production.
Faced with so many risks, Mark opted for “rice and beans”, a well-made basic. Although it is a safe decision, the obviousness of how the film unfolds is a very present negative consequence. The audience can already guess in the first act everything that Twisters plans to unfold, which loses the magic and excitement. Like this Twister (1996) went to that year for his creativity, Twisters it could at least try to be for this new generation of moviegoers, with some challenging touch that would break the always linear rhythm of the plot.
In addition to the same vibe as the film, a detail that deserves a mention are the excesses of extremely technical and scientific dialogues for the sake of the semiotics of the characters. I understand that because they are scientists, their speeches about tornadoes should be in scientific , but they only end up confusing the lay viewer who just wants to follow the entire resolution more calmly, and who also feels involved within the conversation.
Finally, I leave another point – this time, a compliment: the Update on the reinterpretation of Twisters. For 1996, it would be something extremely fanciful if the plot, instead of sensors that can identify the initial behaviors of a tornado to prevent future ones, were unfolded with technological sensors that can reduce the intensity of tornadoes. The same thought also applies to the characters: imagine having a digital influencer with challenges and adventures in Twister? The reinterpretation of the new Warner Bros. blockbuster. Discovery was very well done and fit in with what we would see in the news, on portals or even on Instagram, YouTube or TikTok.
Special effects and action scenes 3e2853
Os special effects and action scenes de Twisters are highlights of the film – nothing that surprising. It is a minimum requirement that in a science fiction film the visual effects are sublime. But considering that we have already seen some productions of the genre that failed with such effects, it is a point to be praised.
Combined with the camera rolls, many scenes featuring the tornadoes in action in Oklahoma seemed grander as they are and served to infect me during the exhibition. One thing that could have done more is the interaction of the tornado with the environment itself, as was very clear in Twister 1996. I believe that not only as a separate complementary scene to show the damaging power of a storm, but also as scenes that could have a comical concern. The scene where they throw fireworks into the tornado was cool to see, they could have been more creative.
Along with more scenes of the tornado interacting with the environment, no more rubble, objects, animals and other items being carried away by this tornado that would actually result in some consequence for the characters. Be it an iron that is thrown in front of the car, a person... even, the planning of these scenes could already serve to change the tone that I emphasized in the topic above.
Does it complement the world of “Twister” (1996)? 214bg
During the film, anyone who has seen Twister managed to pick up references or even elements that were reincorporated in this new version. However, it is important to highlight that It is not treated as a direct sequel, nor a remaster – in the sense of telling the same story with the same characters, with “Twisters” having its own world and self-sufficiency.
If you are going to put the two productions on the balance, the 1996 version presents more dynamicity. Everything kind of happens in the sequence, while Twisters involves time jumping, a greater space for Kate's personal development and the relationship she builds with Tyler, the rapprochement with Javier and even the tornadoes. In of creativity, both promote good construction in their own ways.
Conclusion a5r1x
Twisters It's an action and science fiction film like any other, in structural , with a closed beginning, middle and end – and somewhat obvious, with the exception of the ending, which managed to escape its own cliché trap. The special effects of the tornadoes are well done and create good cinematic scenes, taking the audience into the universe. Don't expect brilliant performances from Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos and Glen Powell - only from David Corenswet -, but the trio still performs good work and has a chemistry that exudes beyond the screen. Soon, Twisters It's a good option to check out if you want a fun film that clears your mind.
