It's a crappy 90s relic that had the balls to use 'from the producer of Jurassic Park' as a marketing hook. Good for them, because evidently it worked. As I said maybe it more liked in america cause it started a whole trend of stormchasing here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it spawned a really badass Universal Studios theme park ride that remains one of their cooler attractions (it closed in 2015, a Jimmy Fallon-themed ride is in that building now).

CoolioD1 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 not gonna lie after all the awards love he got for Minari (which I loved) i thought he'd be one of the ones to avoid the Sundance darling to anonymous blockbuster journeyman pipeline but i guess not.

The movie had great visual effects for its time Plus the movie has a clear storyline and structure compared to a lot of disaster movies. Like each tornado was like a character on its own, which i found cool about this movie. Sadly the Tornados has more charecter then the actual chatecters......

JustLurking Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 It's somewhat crazy to me how much better Mescal's projects are than DEJ's, I liked both quite a bit in normal people so that's a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 this will flop. CGI tornadoes are not a draw like they were in 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Real problem is the original is not that great a film.Yeah, the effects are great, but the rest of the film is not. You don't really care about any of the main charecters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel1 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 How is this a sequel to TWISTER if Helen Hunt doesn't return? ID4:2 at least had Goldblum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptNathanBrittles Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 It's good that none of the characters are coming back because they were all absolute psychos. Especially Helen Hunt's character! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a sequel anymore. Earlier details said that it was gonna be about Hunt and Paxton's daughter but I'm guessing they made an offer to Hunt to return and she declined so they dropped the nostalgia bait while retooling the project.

You don't really care about any of the main charecters When I was a kid i didn't know english or had any "American" context for this movie when I saw it first time in early 00s on cable in dubbed language and find it awesome. I dont know why but 20yrs later i still fondly remember this which I can't say about most of the out an out action blockbusters from the last 40yrs. Maybe it was the 90s charm that this, Speed , MiB and very few other blockbusters share but it has a very "unique" place in summer tentpole movie genre imo that Hollywood had never made before or ever since.
