I never expected another tornado 🌪 movie to too the original Twister. That would be asking a lot. I was afraid that this new movie would have a really sucky plot from the original with overworked CGI. I was pleasantly surprised.
Yes, the plot was cliché; a tragedy throws one off track, guy meets girl, lies revealed, and triumph comes at a climactic end, but it was new and refreshing. It was from a different time and different character experience. What else can we get a from a movie? That's entertainment.
As for the visuals and the action, they were intense and quite engaging. They weren't sparsed and drawn out by emotional fillers in between them.
I give this a decent 7.9 out of 10 because it had very big shoes to fill.
