We watched it tonight. At home, but we've got a decent home theater. 75" screen. Consumer grade Atmos setup. Darkened room. Great popcorn. It's not a theater, but it's better than the average home viewing setup, and it's intended to give us the most theatrical experience we can afford (and eventually I'm going to upgrade a bit).
It was... okay. You're touching on a lot of things I felt watching this. "Poor man's Matthew McConaughey" is such a perfect description for Powell in this film, and I was grasping earlier this evening at how to describe him. I think I liked the original film more than you do though. The first one was a summer blockbuster, yeah, but I felt it had a heart. The chemistry between Paxton and Hunt was great, the chemistry among the cast in general was solid. Philip Seymour Hoffman was hilarious. The score was great, some of the licensed/original songs were great, and the interplay between the two at times (like the horn section playing Van Halen riffs before the song kicks in) was just stellar. To me at least it was a summer blockbuster that, if you squint a bit, feels like a bit more than just that.
This movie felt more like what it said on the box: come see tornadoes. Watch the big visual effects. I felt zero chemistry between anyone in the cast. I didn't even like any of the characters for most of the film, although Kate started growing on me in the last 20-30 minutes. The first one, while obviously not realistic, at least felt a bit grounded... it never quite got so silly that it broke my disbelief. This one did more than once. And my other frustration, although I feel this about a lot of modern films and not just this one, is that there were so many moments where they should have just let the moment breathe a little more and they just... didn't. Agh. I thought this at least a dozen times, but the end of the theater sequence was a really obvious one. The girl stops floating in the air, "thank you," cue the music, everyone get up. Good lord just let us sit there for 20 seconds and hear the environment and process. I hate the pace of so many modern films.
I didn't start this comment expecting to write so much. And I doubt anyone will read my ramblings. But this movie was kinda fun, sounded great, but is also a poster child for a lot of what I hate about modern blockbuster movies. Or maybe I'm just turning into an old man yelling at clouds, I dunno.
And also yes, can confirm, sounded amazing.
Twisters is basically Twister in reverse. This time it starts with the corporation and then flips to the rag tag team. But it seems like they wanted to keep the essence of the original characters and recreate it in Twisters but it just didn't work. When these movies make the jump as a reboot or revision, what I'm learning is they are losing the soul of the original IP which is sad. All negativity aside, it was still a fun albeit brainless night at the movies.
I almost died watching the first movie. Saw a tornado coming at me and woke up in a hospital. End up having a seizure in the middle of the movie. Scared me because I dont have siezures
Wow! I'm happy to see you are still with us, Christopher. I was having a series of panic attacks when I was becoming a new father and had a massive one watching Gravity in the theater.
