You don’t face your fears, you ride ’em.
That’s the catchphrase of Glenn Powell’s character Tyler Owens in the sequel to 1996’s ‘Twister’ and man this looks like the adrenaline-pumping, seat-gripping, big-screen thrill ride that Summer Blockbusters are made of.
The Official Synopsis from Universal Pictures:
This summer the epic studio disaster movie returns with an adventure that puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous—and destructive—forces.
Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
Directed by Lee Isaac Chung.
