Just before the release of Twisters movie in theaters on July 19, I attended a special screening and saw the cast stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos along with Director Lee Isaac Chung.

Note: I was invited as media to the #TwistersMovie screening. However any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.


As if that wasn't exciting enough, before I entered the theater I experienced the Twisters wind Tunnel, which was super fun!

And then was gifted a Kodak Printomatic Camera with film and a Glenn Powell T-shirt to get me ready for any summer adventure.

Once inside the theater it wasn't long before the Director and cast came in to share about filming Twisters.


Daisy Edgar-Jones: This is such a kind of nostalgic film. When you watch, it feels like the feeling I had when I watched films, when I was little. You know, it's a massive Blockbuster to be enjoyed in the big cinemas. On the big screen together.

So just thank you so much for being here. We're so excited to share to the world.

Glen Powell: So we shot this movie in Oklahoma, in Tornado Alley, in tornado season. Which I wouldn't advise, it's quite dangerous.

But we made this with a lot of real storm chasers. A lot of real meteorologists. So I want to give a shout out all of the Storm Chasers watching for Oklahoma. We made this with a lot of really wonderful people.

This film is a blast watch, but it was a real blast to shoot. I hope everyone enjoys.

And then it was time to watch the movie!

My Review

From the first scene Twisters put you right into the heart of the story and a tornado! There's lots of action, fun background music, a bit of humor and good storytelling that not boring.

You get to learn a lot about tornados and the people who track and study them to keep communities safe. The movie has amazing tornados scenes that are so well done, I wasn't sure what wasn't real. I expected the wind to start blowing around in the theater. So thrilling!

Twisters is a great summer movie that entertains and even educates. High recommend.

SYNOPSIS

This summer, the epic studio disaster movie returns and puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous—and destructive—forces.

From the producers of the Jurassic, Bourne and Indiana Jones series comes Twisters, a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster, Twister.

Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Carter, 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 (Ramos) 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, Javi and their crews 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, the Oscar® nominated writer-director of Minari, Twisters stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing), Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) and Anthony Ramos (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) as equal forces, with opposing motivations, who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes.

Twisters features an exciting new cast, including Nope’s Brandon Perea, Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy), Sasha Lane (American Honey), Harry Hadden-Paton (The Crown), David Corenswet (We Own This City), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Tunde Adebimpe (Leave the World Behind), Katy O’Brian (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania), Nik Dodani (Atypical), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and Paul Scheer (Black Monday).
