8 sourcesSynopsis
As storm season intensifies, the paths of former storm chaser Kate Carter and reckless social-media superstar Tyler Owens collide when terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed. The pair and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
Critics consensus
Summoning a storm of spectacle and carried along by the gale force winds of Glen Powell's charisma, Twisters' forecast is splendid with a high chance of thrills.
Audience consensus
Populated with likable characters and terrific visual effects, Twisters resembles a classic 1990s blockbuster in all the right ways.
What resonated with audiences
'Twisters' is a mixed bag, drawing comparisons to the original 'Twister'. Praise is given for its visual effects, Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones' performances, and updated technology. However, criticisms include lack of originality, shallow plot, and underdeveloped characters. Action sequences and special effects are well-received, but the film's pacing and lead chemistry receive varied feedback. Despite its flaws, 'Twisters' is considered an entertaining, though not entirely satisfying, experience.
