The best thing I can say about Lee Isaac Chung’s (Minari, Munyurangabo) Twisters is that it does very well at what it tries to do. In his first film since earning an Academy Award nomination for 2020’s Minari, Chung takes on a film that couldn’t feel any more different. Twisters is not a sequel or reboot of the commercially successful Twister, which earned $495 million worldwide, more than five times its $92 million budget. The 1996 movie was one of the most-hyped and anticipated in years, with its trailers ahead of their time and featuring two of the newest Hollywood A-listers, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. Despite its commercial success, it had poor Rotten Tomatoes critics (66%) and audience (58%) scores.
