Twisters 4K Review
The winds are raging again in Oklahoma: the southern United States of America, both in the 1990s and today, are victims of natural disasters time and again. We remember when Dorothy was swept away by a hurricane from Kansas to a magical land. Farm girl Kat (Daisy Edgar-Jones) - smart and excellent - dreams not to meet the wizard of Oz, but to get a grant to find a way to prevent the appearance of a tornado of destructive force or at least tornado to tame. Experience in practice leads to tragic consequences: only five years later the girl decides to chase the elements again in the company of her old partner Javi (Anthony Ramos), who found sponsors for "racing with the wind" in a real estate office. The scientists are challenged by youtubers led by Tyler (Glen Powell), a daredevil in a cowboy hat who is not at all afraid of the storm, likes to set off fireworks and smiles infectiously at the camera.

The first and most welcome news in the context of any release in the era of endless remakes is that "Deathstroke 2" is virtually free of intrusive fanservice and doesn't seek to move audiences to tears with meaningful cameos. Although a reliable springboard for rattling pop culture artifacts is located in Wakita: the Oklahoma town has a small museum dedicated to the original painting by Jan De Bont. From the 1996 audience hit, the "Dorothy" hardware (it's listed among the exhibits) and a couple of oommage scenes have migrated to the screen, which isn't too shameful. It's worth confessing that there's some grim Cinephile pleasure in watching a movie theater being destroyed. Otherwise, Lee Isaac Cheung's ("Minari") disastrous romp feels like a stand-alone picture with one "but" (which is really no "but" at all): the blockbuster patiently professes the tenets of 90s genre cinema, where very beautiful people struggle with very ugly circumstances and are sure to fall in love with each other against all odds.

Hollywood "old-school" can be annoying and unnerving, plus the tried-and-true tropes of the genre are fueled by the shameless Republicanism of the spectacle. Country hits don't stop for a second, Texan with a perfect smile Glen Powell in a white T-shirt and cowboy hat walks around in the rain, rodeo is the best leisure activity for a hard day's night, and hobos in minivans (youtuber's crew) are good Samaritans with big hearts (not like white collars!). In the description of the entourage comes a rather undisguised agitation: well, the election in the States is just around the corner. In fact, the omens of the climate of the southern states, not only literal but also social, infect with a kind of uplifting spirit and bribe with the charm of the farmlands. A good alliance of familiar genre levers, guitar strumming, hurricane gusts of wind, and the warming duo of Powell and Edgar-Jones make "Deathstroke 2" a nostalgic journey into a past generally devoid of nostalgia.

The movie came off predictable to the point of seeming comfortable, and unexpected exactly enough not to upset. The protagonist's trauma with a botched launch doesn't cause Kat to faint or suffer from panic attacks (think of Joel in "One of Us"), but instead provokes her to fight and move forward. The unnecessary shift in emphasis adds to "Death 2" awareness: the motivations of the main characters have changed compared to the first part. As in the iconic "Speed," Jan de Bont's "Suicide" tells the story of adrenaline junkies who can't afford to live a quiet life and must spend their allotted eternity in pursuit. Kat and Tyler are people who want to conquer their fear at all costs and dare to do something that scares the crap out of them. Of course, the tornado hunters' heads are in the clouds, but they don't forget the weighted weights on the bottom of the car.

It is impossible not to say and the fact that the blockbuster about the struggle of man with the elements to watch in 2024 want to watch much stronger than large-scale tapes about armed conflicts, where there are heroes and villains. "Tornadoes 2" choose rescuers and rescued, and tornadoes draw not only the enemy, but also a magical mystery of nature - now and then approaching funnels remind the onslaught of dementors from the Harry Potter movies. But, it should be recognized that the real magic is the chemistry between Powell and Edgar-Jones, with them you want to go to catch any tornadoes more than once!
