So is this a remake? They've done the little silver balls before.

The first one was Twister (singular), this one is TwisterS (plural).
So like AlienS (plural) it's the even better sequel.

I watched the trailer. I hope it isn't as bad as it looked, because it looked like they missed they point.

I didn't miss that. Why I asked is because they do the "twins" line that Phillip Seymour Hoffman utters (and show twin tornados), they have the silver balls as a plot point, one girl is clearly inside a tornado holding onto something, and it's pretty obvious there's a rival chase team. These are all things that happened in Twister.thibodeaux wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2024 7:14 am The first one was Twister (singular), this one is TwisterS (plural).

Oh I didn't watch the trailer, I'm just here for the snark. They should get Alec Baldwin: "Do you know what it takes to chase tornadoes? Silver. Balls."

I still think it may be a fake trailer.

It was ok.
There was one little thing that suggested this was a sequel, like 25 years later. But if so, then that "groundbreaking research" from the first movie must not have amounted to much.
They tried hard to recreate that wacky, gypsy-crew of characters from the first one.
And this time, they meant it when they sneered, "They're in it for the money, not the science." It was almost cartoonishly evil.
I'm not sure if it will have the legs the original did.

Very meh.
One big problem Hollywood has right now is creating compelling characters. They spend so much film time showing how over the top a character is and it takes away from time to develop not only them, but their surrounding characters. Thus, you never end up giving a shit about any of them.
The original was much better, and honestly, even had better tornados.

But this time, woke AF and it didn't work. They were completely devoid of personality.
The villain was hilariously bad and their reason for even being in the film made zero sense.
