What Works For Twisters
Twisters deserves to be appreciated for the extraordinary special effects that make the movie watching experience very immersive. The way the destruction by the tornado is shown on screen is breathtaking, though it is heartbreaking to see. Glen Powell has a very powerful screen presence and totally wins you over by his moviestar-like charm and charisma. The chemistry that the lead pair share is fresh. Twisters, though treated as a summer entertainer, doesn't shy away from providing its audience with some deep messaging on how destructive tornados are, and how they pose a greater threat in the future due to their increased intensity.
What Doesn't Work For Twisters
Twisters doesn't really take you by surprise. You get what you expect from it and nothing more than that. There are a few loose ends in the story that make the movie slighly less compelling than what it could have been. Daisy Edgar-Jones puts up a good act but she is not able to match the high threshold set by her co-star Glen Powell. Barring the few minor issues, Twisters is thoroughly an enthralling watch.

Glen Powell as Tyler is charming and charismatic. He has all the qualities of a true blue movie star. Daisy Edgar-Jones delivers a very graceful performance as scientist Kate.

Other supporting actors in the movie only enhance the film in their little way.

Twisters is the true definition of a summer blockbuster that provides wholesome entertainment. It is visually stunning and Glen Powell particularly puts up an amazing act. You can watch Twisters at a theatre near you now. Have you booked your tickets for the movie yet?
