Twisters

 

       Building on the success of the original film "Twister",  this update is an all new story with a new cast.

       The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glenn Powell as storm chasers with very different styles who end up working together to try to stop tornadoes before they can do any damage. The film co-stars Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, Harry Hadden-Paton and Sasha Lane.

       The special effects are first rate, especially seeing it in IMAX, but what sets it apart from watching the effects of real tornados on the internet, is the suspense of watching the cast in fictious harm's way. I imagine people who live in the "Tornado Alley" states will have no interest in the film as they live through the dangers and tragedies of real tornadoes all the time.

        For the rest of us, it's a pretty exciting summer "popcorn" movie but watching the devastation left behind the various tornadoes, even in a movie, is a very somber reminder of the real thing
