The premise is exciting: former storm chaser Kate Carter and social-media influencer Tyler Owens team up amid unprecedented weather phenomena. However, while the storm sequences are visually stunning, the character development feels somewhat lacking. The chemistry between the leads is there, but the script doesn’t give them enough to work with. I found myself wishing for more depth in their backstories and motivations. The film’s pacing also drags in parts, making it feel longer than necessary. Still, if you’re in the mood for some storm-related thrills and chills, Twisters delivers on the spectacle, even if it falls short on emotional engagement. Show less
