Twisters
Stream
Rent & Buy
As storm season intensifies, the paths of former storm chaser Kate Carter and reckless social-media superstar Tyler Owens collide when terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed. The pair and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
What critics thought
Twisters lands as a competent, crowd-pleasing summer blockbuster that most critics found genuinely entertaining, though a meaningful minority felt it never escapes the shadow of the original or the real tornado footage anyone can find online. Glen Powell's magnetism and the film's committed spectacle draw the most consistent praise, while the script's reliance on familiar beats is the clearest point of friction.
“There's a ton of technobabble that you have to take on faith, but Jones and Powell do more than sell it; they make it compelling”
Jordan Hoffman·Entertainment Weekly
“watching the sequel is like playing Mad Libs with the original's plot”
Odie Henderson·The Boston Globe
“Staring up at the tornadoes in Twisters, I felt like I'd already seen something exactly like them — and that when it comes to footage of actual tornadoes, I'd already seen something more incredible”
Owen Gleiberman·Variety
“a sequel that, while no masterpiece, feels perfectly serviceable in the era of lore-addicted trash such as Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire”
Donald Clarke·The Irish Times
