In a nutshell: This is a very good disaster entertainment film.
The new version of " Tornado " is the sequel to the 1996 classic disaster film "Tornado". In fact, it has no direct connection with the previous film in terms of story and characters. This approach not only allows new viewers to watch directly, but also brings a new experience to old fans. Although it has lost some of the charm of the original, this new film has successfully broken new ground in the field of disaster films with its unique perspective and modern production.
The balance between technological progress and audience expectations
Recalling the first "Tornado", the immersive and shocking feeling is still unforgettable. Especially the scene looking up at the sky at the center of the tornado perfectly blended the horror and beauty of nature, leaving a deep impression on the audience. In the past 30 years, special effects technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and audience expectations have also risen. Although the new version of "Twister" cannot reproduce the freshness brought by the previous game, with more advanced visual effects and a more compact plot, it even surpasses the first film in terms of entertainment.
Trauma and Growth: The Heroine’s Mental Journey
The heroine of this film continues the common traumatic background setting of the protagonist in disaster movies. During the plot, she continues to face her inner fears and strives to regain her love for science. Although this growth line does not have much depth, it meets the basic requirements of a commercial film and adds a touch of humanity to the character.
The film also cleverly introduces an internet celebrity character played by Glen Powell, injecting a modern feel into the story. This setting not only reflects the current social phenomenon, but also brings a new dimension of thinking to traditional disaster film themes. Glen Powell perfectly interprets the image of a confident, handsome and well-intentioned Internet celebrity. Although there is no big breakthrough, the character creation is just right.
Through the perspective of the heroine, the audience can re-examine these Internet celebrities and fans chasing tornadoes, and understand the motivations and passions behind them, which goes beyond the simple opposition between science and non-science. Although the heroine of
had more emotional scenes, her acting performance was mediocre and failed to fully impress the audience.
Although the supporting characters don't have many roles, they also add a lot of interest to the movie, especially the heroine's mother. Her "experienced" attitude adds a lot of laughter to the plot.
Plot structure: innovation in the cliche
Opposition to cooperation: ingenious design of the emotional line
The male and female protagonists go from initial opposition to final cooperation, which is a common routine in commercial films. But the new version of "Twister" adds unique style and creativity to the process, making this cliché plot development interesting and attractive. The arguments and flirtations between the two are full of wit and bring a lot of joy to the audience.
Tornado chasing scenes: diverse and exciting experiences
There are many scenes of chasing tornadoes in the film, and the tasks and challenges are different each time. This design allows the audience to feel different excitements during the chase and avoids the boring feeling caused by repetition. Even in calm scenes without chasing the wind, the interaction between the male and female protagonists maintains the audience's interest, demonstrating the superb skills of the screenwriter.
The visual effects of the new version of "Tornado" are also outstanding. The horror of a tornado lies not only in its powerful suction, but also in the debris and debris that is swept into the air. Just imagine the scene of a car rolling in the air and various objects flying at high speed, and you can understand the sense of terror that the director wants to convey. Watching these scenes on the big screen will definitely bring a doubly shocking experience.
solid's entertainment choice
Overall, although the new version of "Tornado" does not reach a stunning level and the plot development is also expected, it successfully integrates various elements to present a high-quality entertainment piece. It meets all the elements that a disaster movie should have and is a very solid choice for leisure viewing.
For those looking for visual stimulation and light entertainment, this is undoubtedly a masterpiece worth watching.
