Thinkng about checking it out in 4Dx at some point

Dipped in midweek to check it out, and pretty good flick. Quirky in some aspects, a bit of TikTok generation stuff tossed in & overly heavy with the bleeding heart "we must help the people!" nonsense, but otherwise decent.
Good cast too. Lotta pretty AF folk.
At first I was drawing comparisons with the original team from Twister, but these guys grow on ya over the course of the movie.
Of course, Kate is the eventual key to everything, but refreshingly not in a girl boss, Mary Sue variety. Nice plot flip too, from start to finish.
Whoever said this movie didn't push the climate change agenda wasn't telling the truth. It's there, though not much, but at least they don't come right out and shove it in the audience's face.
Kiernan Shipka threw me for a loop with her blonde hair and glasses.

Respect Kaiju. Giving credit when it’s due.

went to see it yesterday in Madison Ms in the middle of the day and they had a bunch of different times showing, and my theater was half full... which i thought was a lot for a mid day midweek showing.
I really liked the movie 7.5/10.
Glen Powell just has so much charisma and ive been in love w Daisy Edgar Jones since Normal People. They were great together and i actually really liked the decision (SPOILERS) to not have them kiss at the end and leave it to the imagination.
I do think they could have a good potential to bring this cast back in a sequel.. diving more into the relationship, some more tragedy. some more action, and going further into their effort to slow down tornados

Total W with this casting.
And though Kate did stiff him on the ice tea, her mom made up for it with the home cooked dinner.

The box office is humming right now. It's great to see

I think there is one line where the mom says we keep getting more and more tornadoes and more floods. But its just a one-off line and its not preachy or in your face. I wouldnt call that pushing an agenda.

Call me sadistic but the overly joyous, arrogant Millennials in the beginning being bitch slapped by Mother Nature was incredibly satisfying.
Posted on 7/26/24 at 1:29 pm to Audioman213
Those were Gen Zers. All millennial are at least 24.
We're so old Gen Zs are becoming adults and then you have Gen alpha behind them with their odd language.

I think that guy just enjoys seeing children die or something, weird post

I may have missed it, but why exactly was the rich land developer the bad guy again? I know they said "he takes advantage of people at their lowest" but was he low balling people badly or strong-arming them out of their land? It seemed like the dude was buying their property rather than making them go through insurance.
If it was me I'm taking that check and getting the frick out of tornado alley.

Yeah I mentioned that earlier that it doesn’t really make sense. Even if you assume he’s lowballing the hell out of them, is there really some high demand coming from new developments dead in the middle of tornado alley?
Feels like they needed to add a detail in there that they know there’s oil there or something that creates inherit value to the land
Feels like a plot line from an earlier draft that got left in there but they didn’t know how to really make it work so they just kind of bury it in the 3rd act.
One of the parts of the movie that I feel like happened just to set up what they needed to happen in the next, regardless of it making sense. Another one of those is that first tornado where they need to get the third machine for data, but she tells him they MUST go help the town first and don’t worry about that. Like it’s going to take weeks or months for that clean up effort, I think you’ll be okay burning an extra 20 minutes to collect this machine that supposedly is going to help them be able to see these coming

Yeah seriously. You already stopped the truck. It would take a few minutes to set it up and then you get the data needed for better advancement.
I'm sure if you polled the people there they would have preferred you get the data to help them more in the long run rather than hand them a bottle of water.

This movie was fantastic, it had no business being that enjoyable.
Posted on 7/27/24 at 10:58 pm to RollTide1987
Saw it tonight and thought it was pretty good. Crowded theater. They nailed the YouTube storm chaser with the Glen Powell character and threw in a lot of weather enthusiast Easter eggs. My main gripe was people having a rodeo, baseball game and town festival or whatever when there is an ongoing tornado outbreak and the governor declared a state of emergency. Seems like they could have cancelled that stuff and people would have been safer but that’s probably too realistic for a movie like this where you turn your brain off and enjoy, which I did.

Cancel a travel ball game? Are you out of ur gotdang mind?

If the people of OK (or anywhere in flyover country / tornado alley for that matter) weren't blithering idiots who needed the help & direction of a few random storm chases, they'd ALL be dead!
That was my minor issue. Yes, people who live in these parts of the country know about tornadoes and live with the potential threat year in and year out.
But if the movie didn't make them out to be hapless NPC types, then the stars wouldn't have anyone to save.
Go retrieve important data from the one radar unit that got blown away and possibly help unlock the mysteries of how tornadoes work, OR go help these people in a small town by finding some lady's dog or something?
Hmmm....
