Twisters - Budget of $200 million - 2 hours and 2 minutes
Kate, Javi, and their friends prepare Dorothy V for a flight. Javi adds his sensors while Kate has a super absorbent polyurethane mixture. Kate theorizes that the mixture will soak the moisture in the tornado and tame it before it can destroy property and kill people. If she's right, she will get a grant for more research. The tornado comes, but it's stronger than they expect. As Javi watches with his computer, the tornado touches down while Kate and their friends attempt to exit its path. However, Kate emerges from the storm alone and scarred.
Kate works in New York predicting tornadoes from meteorology readings. Kate has an uncanny ability to know how, when, and where the tornado will form at its strongest. Her co-worker tells Kate someone is waiting for her in the conference room. Surprised, Kate sees Javi after five years apart. After the deadly incident, Javi moved to Miami and joined the military. He worked on state-of-the-art wind imaging equipment, and the military made a portable version. They can use the machines to create a 3D tornado image and wield the data to help others. Kate agrees to return to Oklahoma for one week to help him find the best tornado.
Kate meets Javi's sponsored crew, including Scott. Javi regales the team with tales of Kate's abilities. He hands Kate the tablet and asks for directions to the nearest upcoming storm. Then, locals come to the rest stop to meet the Tornado Wrangler, Tyler. Tyler is a content creator with over one million followers. He gets challenges, and his crew films him accepting them. Tyler and Javi make condescending remarks to each other, and Tyler follows Kate with the tablet. She tells him nothing about herself and gives him her prediction for the best tornado. She walks away and tells Javi to go in the opposite direction. Tyler knew Kate was lying. So, he cuts off Javi and Javi's crew. But Kate gets another hunch and follows another path. Kate and Javi get close to the tornado and pull the sensor out of the truck. But Kate gets spooked. She tells Javi they are in the wrong position. He packs the vehicle and drives to another location, but they are too far, and can't triangulate with his crew. Tyler catches up, drives into it, and sets off fireworks for his subscribers. As Tyler drives past, he chastizes Javi and Kate. Kate sees the devastation, gets a renewed sense of urgency, apologizes to Javi, and wants to help. Javi smiles because his sponsor, Riggs, will be happy with more accurate data. However, Tyler warns Kate that she can't trust Riggs or Javi. Can Kate put her fears and suspicions aside to help people in Tornado Alley from suffering her fate?
This movie is for the big screen. It will make your breath quicken when the tornado rips through town and eats everything in its path. Unlike its predecessor, this film shows more devastation and destruction (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). Also, it talks about the science behind tornadoes, but the audience won't know how much is fact or fiction unless you are into atmospheric sciences. This movie has a love triangle between Javi, Kate, and Tyler. It will be obvious who will win Kate's heart, so the romance takes a back seat to the special effects. This graphics team delivered a spectacular fire tornado. You will look upon it with fear and reverence for its sheer power. The graphics make Twisters worthy of the big screen, but you will wait for streaming to watch it again. Also, you don't have to see the first. This picture is a standalone, not a sequel or continuation.
I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars
I'm assuming this is safe - Ben

You got the whole alphabet - Kate
You ever wonder why we were the ones who made it out of there - Javi

That's a compliment - Cathy
