Alternative title ‘Twister 2: Geoengineering can save lives and is good actually’.
That’s all I have to report. I had no idea this ‘sequel’ to the 1996 film Twister was some light geoengineering propaganda. Weirdly, climate change isn’t mentioned once (correct me if I’m wrong). Which begs the question, why even introduce the idea of geoengineering as a solution to your tornado problem? Oh right, to provide some meaning to your characters otherwise meaningless lives. ‘We have to help the townspeople’, ‘I want to make a difference’ blah blah blah. I’m sure I’m butchering the actual dialog.
The only returning ‘character’ is Dorothy the scientific tornado instrument (a term pinched from a google search which pinched it from some wiki).
The film could also work as a stand-in for a very boring country and western mix-tape (or spotify playlist). I don’t remember the original films soundtrack being so dull.
This movie blows.
yeah I think we stopped watching about when the cowboy dude (who looked like the most interesting character in the movie) teamed up with boring but somehow knows everything about tornadoes girl. aside from cowboy, every other character just seemed so incredibly uninteresting, flat and pointless. and the point the magic devices at the tornadoes bullcrap took any immersion and reality out of it anyway. none of the adventure of the original
