Twisters (2024)

 My dad was a big disaster movie fan, he took the family to see 'Twister' in the theater in 1996 and was actually watching the movie (which he'd seen many times) about 3 hours before his unexpected death in 2014. So I more or less had to see 'Twisters', a lose sequel/ soft reboot of the earler film. Like the original film there is a midly interesting love triangle at the center, various quirky side characters and a number of tornado related action sequences and set pieces. Really the story is pretty blah, concerning the interactions between some weather scientists and tornado chasing YouTubers, but those action sequences are worth seeing on a big screen. Also I'll give Daisy Edger-Jones a free pass on anything she does, for she is above it all. ***
