Analysis
Twisters is a movie packed with action and a dramatic storyline, full of suspense coupled with odd comedic throwaway lines. They explained our current understanding of tornados well that we know the formula for updrafts and can generally predict where they may happen. The good thing is for its sequel, you don’t need to watch the first film to understand what’s going on. Overall, the CGI for some of the tornados was INCREDIBLE, they did an excellent, most tornado movies have very unrealistic looking tornados, but the graphic designers for this film did their research and nailed the structure and complexity.Â

Verdict
The movie has a good balance of tone and a good pace. At just over two hours runtime it is pretty lengthy, and it never felt like being dragged. If you’re looking for a fun movie, this is a great summer movie and meant to be seen in theatres.
