Despite giving Michael Chrichton (et al.) a "created by" credit, Twisters has very little to do with 1996's Twister (unless you think he invented tornadoes just like he invented dinosaurs), but that's fine - that first film left very little psychic imprint on me. I realize I am in the minority here. We do get an updated version of the same concept - storm chasers with their own YouTube channel get in the way of a scientist who only wants to help the people living in Tornado Alley; sparks fly. It's an okay disaster movie with some tense moments, a demure romance (this, at least, felt original, it's not moving at movie speed), and some humor (the mom gets a lot of the credit). At first you think this is Science vs. Fame, but it's really Purity vs. Exploitation (Capitalism), even if the movie acts like it's Rural America vs. Urban America (well, they know their market). Daisy Edgar-Jones is a strong lead, and Glen Powell has fun with it, especially when he's playing to the YouTube audience. I was thinking this was "fine", but the third act is extremely good, both in terms of the tornado climax nailbiter and the relationship closure, even if I would call neither unpredictable.

Pretty good sequel despite having no relation to the original. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Howell really shine in this one, without any unnecessary love story that is irrelevant to the film. The exploitation turmoil most of the characters experience provides a wholesome narrative, and makes most of the characters very likeable.
As it's been said by other posters, the third act is excellent!

So much fun, it felt like an old-school summer blockbuster. A worthy sequel to the original.
