Certainly not a new movie at this point, but I finally got around to watching Twisters the other day. Much like the original, it was mindless and silly but a lot of fun. The CGI was very well done. Glenn Powell continues to perfect the somehow likeable douchebag role he plays in everything I've seen him in, and Kiernan Shipka is a huge upgrade in the looks department from Helen Hunt.
Paid homage to the original without copying it note for note. I figured the pseudo-bad guy would complete his redemption arc by dying heroically, but to my surprise he lived. I was also a bit surprised that none of the original cast made an appearance, but I guess the main ones we'd want to see again are dead, so it doesn't really matter.
It was entertaining. I wouldn't have minded seeing it in the theater.
