Twisters is a rip-roaring theme park ride of a movie that reminds us of the incredible 90s summer blockbusters that we used to have. Full of great action set pieces and fun lead performances, Twisters deserves to be seen on a big screen with a full crowd.

The story in Twisters doesn’t even matter. That may sound like an insult but it is an intense compliment. From the first frame, Twisters is designed to pull you in and get to the action. That isn’t to say there isn’t a plot to follow but it just means that much like a roller coaster you are strapped in for the duration of the fun. The ’90s used to be full of blockbusters that were just designed to thrill and the serialization of all entertainment the straight straight-action blockbusters have been few and far between. Luckily, Twisters brings it back with vengeance by focusing on the true star which is the weather, and allowing the absolutely charming cast to play off each other.

Aside from the tornadoes themselves, the cast is headlined by Glenn Powell who continues his year of dominating every role he appears in. He elevates all the scenes he appears in with a limitless charm that oozes from the screen. Daisy Edgar Jones plays well off of Powell and their romance (lack thereof?) is believable and charming throughout. Glen Powell has now proven that he is also a chemistry major as all of his costars seem to be born to banter with him.

Ultimately, there isn’t much more to say about Twisters than seeing it immediately. It is fun. It is funny. It is full of action and special effects that will absolutely floor you if you have any fear of the weather. As we move away from the serialization of movies, I hope that Twisters is helping to usher in an aspect of cinema that most thought was dead. It’s the fun action blockbuster everyone can love.
