Twisters (July 2024)

I saw it recently and it was very middling for me. The hammy modern drama drummed up to wrap around the daily tornados just fell flat. It was my first experience with Dolby Cinema though and the sound was brilliant with the projection on par with Liemax experiences.
 
We went to the Cinema to watch this yesturday, Having low expectations helps as overall it was worth a watch.

The sound alone in the Cinema was fantastic and the film was enjoyable for a new remake.

Ironoicly there was a couple of plot twists which I didn't expect, thought the characters who played the roles all did a pretty good job.

7/10
 
First one was silly but charming fun

This is pretty dull, glad I only waited for what seems like a few weeks.

Started ok but quickly bored of the whole thing.

The soundtrack is absolutely terrible with cheesy country music narrating on screen events like Yellowstone at its worst.

This is the start of its 4th week at the cinema, and most modern films (but not all) make around 80%-ish of their total BO by the end of week 3. So moving to streaming, as quick as it seems nowadays, probably isn't as big of a financial hit as it may have been previously, depending on how its doing in the cinema currently, where its just passed $310m globally and its still bringing in $11m domestically a weekend. So I guess it's probably looking at about $360-380m by the end of its run (not doing that well internationally, domestic BO is the main driver).

7/10. Where flying cows?!

Twister is one of my most watched films out there so imo it'll never be beaten regardless. Twisters just didn't have any redeeming characters - Anthony Ramos I just cannot watch, his line delivery ever since Transformers Rise of the Beasts annoys me. Glen Powell as handsome as he is needed fleshing out more. Daisy did get better mid-way through the fim. Budget Superman aka David Corenswet should have been given some attention too.

The film has zero humour, and the characters don't gel together because of it. It is all just too clean and by the books. There is no strong backing soundtrack to this flick that the original had, which obviously pumps you up as the chases begin.

There is still a lot to enjoy having said all that even though a lot was cut from this film. So many nods to Twister which was most welcome and the visuals and audio were superb.
