Twisters - Movie Review

Twisters tells the story of Kate Carter who is a meteorologist that is ready to work in mobile units in Oklahoma’s Tornado Alley all over again. Once an irresistible TV star of storm chasing, Kate struggles with the past and new threats when breathtaking twisters are on her way. Twisters can be described as a thrilling story of struggling and surviving.

Some of goals include redemption, the power to rise against the odds and the struggle of the spirit against the force of nature. It is best described as an action drama that occasionally transforms into a destructive and complicated love story with a measure of passion and intensity. There is also frequent switching between driving and contemplative tone.

The film also stars the immensely talented Daisy Edgar-Jones as the character Kate Carter who was fantastic and ambiguous in the film. This dynamic is further heightened to its extremes by the complex chemistry between Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos to complement soaring aerial photography with raw emotion. There is a fine supporting cast which adds vigor to the story and helps to give it the drive of a dynamic format.

Of course, Lee Isaac Chung has done a great job as a director to keep the tension high throughout the story. He balances action and emotion well, the pace of his script is impeccable and is effective in keeping the audience at the edge of their seat without sacrificing character growth.

The music also ties perfectly with the pace of the movie, transferring large orchestral tunes during the most tense scenes and recording more introverted melodies during the introspective shots. In this manner, the sounds enrich the activistic show, and to the lights and colors, which make the story more multi-dimensional.

Paradise is visually compelling, with beautiful work behind the camera and breathtaking look at the big landscapes or mighty tornadoes. The scenes where wide angle shots are used take viewers right into the eye of the storm and this is perfectly captured.

While the set is genuinely depressingly small as a setting, wholly immersing the audience in plains of Oklahoma, the film correctly portrays the technical marvel of amateur storm chasing equipment. Such detailed portrayal adds realism and interest to the movie.

Characteristic for the film is the very effective depiction of tornadoes with special effects. The actual success for sequent has been created by the visual effects team where sequences look beautiful and horrifying at the same time.

There is very effective editing – the action doesn’t get exhausting, though some significant emotional moments do strike. It means that narrative and emotional arcs are equiponderate, which makes the plot of the film harmonious for watching.

Speaking in Twisters remains as concise as in the best American thrillers, which straightforwardness supports the movie’s message and the characters’ actions. On the one hand, it fulfills the function of narrative drive and, on the other, it provides watchers with valuable glimpses into the characters’ psychological processes, thus making them appear more realistic and human.

While going for the aesthetic interesting and powerful plot ‘Twisters’ sometimes relies on the cliches of thrillers. Few character developments seem to have the potential for better portrayal in the aspects of revealing realistic emotional appeal. However, these problems are marginal; thus, the overall impression given by the film proves to be rather positive.

This film, Twisters, is an incredible thrilling and exceptionally engaging film which combines the elements of action and feelings. It stays with you, and not just through graphical imagery, but by taking viewers into the lives of everyday people and making them confront their survival instincts. It assumes the quality of one more distinguishable contribution to the history of disaster film.
