Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie, you can see the back of the CB radio, and there is no antenna connected, just power.

I watched this movie on Amazon Prime.
I was 6 years old when the original Twister movie came out. In fact it's one of my earliest theater going memories and it was fun and scary for little kid me back then. I was finally able to watch it again many years later and realised just how great of a film that is!
then they went and tried to make this legacy sequel nearly 20 years later and it's. Meh. The chemistry of the cast is not like the original, none of the characters or cast from that first film return. Unless you count "Dorthey" and even "she" is only in like the first part of the movie.
The characters are likable enough. But it's clear whoever made this movie did not do their research right. That or they just went with pure spectacle over reality.
Like the wind and things the tornados do and how they effect objects, and especially people. Is almost nothing like reality. The movie is also filled with a lot of smart sounding science jargon to try and make you think the writers are smart. But it's really dumb.
In the end though, it's still a fun movie to turn your brain off to and vedge out. It's not really a bad movie either. So I give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars. For it's just OK. A bit fun here and there. But it's just OK.
Mistake Status: I probably won't do this one or the first. Just not my cup of tea.
Trivia: James Paxton, Bill Paxton's son, has a cameo as the angry hotel guest during the rodeo sequence.
