I finally watched Twisters and I think it’s one of the best sequels of 2024 for one major reason

As the year draws to a close, I’ve been catching up Movies 2024 I didn’t have the chance to see the cinema, especially Twists now that it’s streaming for those who have a Peacock Subscription. I admit I didn’t have high expectations for the sequel to the ’90s classic over the summer, but after hearing the buzz from others, including through our positive reviews Twists goodbyeI pressed play at home over the Thanksgiving holiday and was really impressed with how Universal handled the revival of the classic. Let me explain why!

Before I get into it, I should point out that I grew up with the original Tornado movie, and even though I haven’t re-watched it many times, I think it’s a solid movie that I watched with fond memories. With that in mind, I really didn’t want to see a re-release or retread of the concept, but I’m happy to say I was wrong about the benefits of another Tornado film almost 30 years later.

Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell watch with concern as the storm progresses at Twisters.
