Some posts were originally written in Dutch and were automatically translated.

In [the nineties, a number of very good disaster films were released](https://alxndrr.com/the-nineties-were-peak-cinema/), and one of them is the classic *Twister*, about storm chasers. Now, almost thirty years later, a sequel has arrived, and I saw it in the cinema this weekend.

If you have never seen the 1996 original, I recommend fixing that. The film still holds up surprisingly well in 2024, and I was hyped that a sequel would be released this year. A disaster film like **Twisters** is the ideal cinema film. Lots of action and spectacle on a big screen with the best sound. That is how I like to experience cinema.

With the sequel, you also get a healthy dose of romance.

That was present in the first film too, but in *Twisters* it is a little more obvious. Twisters is basically *Twister* meets *The Longest Ride*. It makes the film lighter - hehe - but once the tornadoes start spinning, you get exactly what you came for: tension, sensation, action and an excellent cinema experience.

If you see one film in the cinema this summer, let it be **Twisters**.

Four stars.
