(ESP-ENG) Twisters [2024] - Movie Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
As I have been saying for some time now, Hollywood has been suffering a serious crisis of lack of creativity and I would even say lack of culture when it comes to thinking and creating new productions in cinema. It is not possible that what abounds lately are all remakes, sequels and part 2 of films that once dazzled theaters. Stories that seemed to be culminated come years later to want to revive them unnecessarily or as in this case to make a parallel story with almost all the elements of that movie of the nineties that nobody really asked for. My point is to criticize the fact of the existence of the film, now, is it worth it? - that's another thing.
This story takes place almost 20 years after what happened in the first film, although this one does not allude to anything in that film. We have Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones), a storm chaser and tornadoes which has always been involved in this world but thanks to a tragedy that left her pretty bad and marked decided to leave aside all this world and go as far away to study the weather but behind a screen. The thing is that as life takes many turns one day she meets one of her university friends, Javi (Anthony Ramos), with whom she hunted several years ago, and he proposes to return to the arena with the bonus that now he has better equipment and so the data collected will be more efficient so more people can help in the future.
Along the way they meet Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) who is also a hunter but this one does it in a more mediatic way and more focused on the spectacle that can generate. The reality is that as the story progresses Kate realizes things that begin to displease her and little by little her vision of work changes. Javi is hiding something and so is Tyler, what is it? - His intentions and that's where the game changes completely. In truth this movie, like the one starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton in '96, is only about chasing tornadoes, a plot as such exists but for me it is just to give a little body to the film and not be so empty.
And what is really worth it are the special effects and all the CGI that comes with it. This is complicated because we are talking about creating natural visuals that are extremely realistic and I would think that is very difficult to achieve. Here we see the whole theme of tornadoes, storms, cloud formations, rain, hail and I sincerely feel that everything was achieved at the height, at no time I felt I was watching something of low quality or at least on screen it is not noticeable. In natural disaster movies all the scenes during and after the disaster are very complex because the amount of elements that have to be handled is great, because in addition to the natural disaster you have to recreate all the material disaster and that is generating and that also looked very good. No complaints in this department.
There are many winks to the original movie, mythical scenes, the name of some teams, visuals; I think what they sought is to recreate an improved version but respecting the legacy of the previous one. As I said at the plot level there is nothing, but it is incredibly entertaining because everything is an adventure with good effects. The before, during and after a storm, the whole hunting process is enjoyable, not tiring at all. As for the characters, Daisy was good, an average young actress who I think fulfilled the role. Glen is a guy who has charisma and this type of film seems to be quite good for him. The chemistry between the two is very good, that helps everything flow better.
Anyway, I think it's a good remake, I still see it unnecessary but the movie in general terms at least for me is pretty good. It is very difficult to do something of this style and get it right because usually people will always stay with the original for a nostalgia issue but in this case I think this new installment does much merit to its predecessor. Good effects, very entertaining, ideal for hanging out. I give it an 8/10, it's worth it. It lasts almost two hours, a little long but still not heavy. I leave the trailer here.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.

Parece bastante buena, me atrevería a tomarme un tiempo para verla.
No se si viste la del 96 pero es muy parecida. En caso de que no la hayas visto, pues si, en efecto está muy buena. El tiempo creo que no lo vas a perder!
I finished watching this movie yesterday night. I was based on a very unique concept. The movie hook you up from the very beginning. It was not boring at all. Instead it was super interesting. Thanks for sharing your opinion with us. 😊💕
