See Ya, '24: Twisters (2024)

Does this one hold up when compared to the Original?

Is it *gasp* actually better?

Let's find out....

After an experiment in College with a Storm goes wrong, we cut to 5 Years later.

Our Heroine meets up with her friend again and agrees to help him for a week with his new business that can study storms in hope of predicting them.

She meets a whole group of Tornado Chasers- since it is the Season- but one stands out.

Tyler is a Tornado Wrangler.
He's also irresistibly charming.

Don't get me wrong- I'm straight...but I have eyes, you know.

He can tell that she's a natural and decides to follow her leads.

She, of course, thinks that she can trick him.

Either way, they both win.

Truths come out.

Storms wreak havoc.

People change.

Can our Heroes use their special skills to save the day when it counts?

To find out, stream it now...

A fun Film that has surprising depth to it and is not just a rehash.

Be honest- a simple redo of Twister would have still worked for plenty of people, right?
You just hit the same beats, have bigger effects and everyone is happy.

You do get a version of both groups from the last Film here, but they are presented differently and it is not quite a 1-to-1 instance.

Is David Corenswet similar to Cary Elwes' villain?  Yes.
Is that bad?  No.

As someone who recently watch Into the Storm, I should note that a few ideas from that- like the truck you could anchor and the YouTubers chasing the storm- made their way into this Film.
Did they steal it?  Maybe not.

The only real issue I have is that there's not much of a connection to the last Film- aside from them using Dorothy IV in the Intro. 
I don't know if I wanted them to go full Ghostbusters- Afterlife on us, but something would have been nice.

Unfortunately, it seems that since they turned down a chance to have Helen Hunt make a Sequel, she wasn't involved here.

Amusingly, this Film reviving a Franchise features Bill Paxton's Son and the soon-to-be Superman.  That Film also features the son of the previous Lead- Christopher Reeve- in the Film in a small role.

Coincidence?  Yes, but still weird.

An enjoyable Sequel...that really isn't one per se.  That said, the Film is better than it has any right to be.
