Thirty-six years and… Showtime!! The opening credit sequence for this is familiar, like an old friend welcoming you back… it even focuses on the bridge!! The model is used again, and the town looks pretty much the same.
If you saw the movie “Twister,” directed by Jan de Bont, starring Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Cary Elwes and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, go into “Twisters” knowing one thing. There are only a few respectable differences between the two. Director Lee Isaac Chung, from “Manari,” is good at storytelling. This film has no carry-over actors from the first film, and the story veers from people wanting to study tornadoes to people wishing to tame them… make them vanish before they destroy everything in their path. Chung does an excellent job of showing that distinction.

The first thing that will jump out at you is the Warner Brothers logo. It’s a beautiful Barbie signature pink. And their mocking of “2001: A Space Odyssey” worked soundly. You’re ready for this adventure to begin the second you see it.
