Landing somewhere between sequel and reboot, “Twisters” introduces new characters and an extra letter to the 1996 disaster movie but not much else, leaving its stars stranded in a vehicle with roughly the weight of a stiff breeze.
Impressive visual effects only go so far, though they at least provide a necessary distraction to the heightened awareness of climate change baked into the premise. After “Anyone But You” and “Hit Man,” Glen Powell serves as the biggest marketing come-on beyond the chance to see wanton destruction, but despite opportunities to flash that million-dollar smile, it’s not really his movie.
Yet while there’s tension between her altruistic focus on science and his commodification of disasters, underscored by the neophytes with whom they cross paths, in this kind of movie handsome clouds tend to have silver linings.
