Why would they make a sequel to "Twister"? That was the resounding question when Lee Isaac Chung’s sequel to Jan de Bont’s 1996 disaster movie was first announced.

L Smith (based on a story by Joseph Kosinski), decided to forego any “legasequel” or “requel” nonsense by delivering a movie that has all the spirit and ‘90s energy of the original, but a wholly new story and cast. It’s that cast, plus Chung’s impressive handle on breathtakingly tense setpieces, that elevates "Twisters" into one of the best displays of blockbuster spectacle this year. READ MORE from Inverse
