If you haven’t seen Twisters, Lee Isaac Chung’s loosely related sequel to the 1996 film starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, you should stop reading this and change that – and, specifically, see it in 4DX, because the gimmicky movie/ride combo will never get better than watching hot people chase tornadoes while getting tossed in your seat and battered by wind.
If you have seen the heartland disaster flick that’s rejuvenating the adult box office (it made over $80m in the US over the weekend), then you likely have some pressing questions: is there reliably a tornado every day in Oklahoma? Can you really kill a twister with what appears to be barrels of laundry detergent? Where is Glen Powell’s dog, Brisket? And most pressing: why don’t Tyler Owens and Kate Carter, the two hot-for-storms protagonists played by Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, kiss at the end?
