Thoroughly disappointed we still haven't gotten to Alien in Review. Romulus comes out this week

[@AR_112]

They’re not going to. Kinda funny couldn’t hack sci-fi horror even if they tried

[@preditnoir95]

@@AR_112some of them posted pictures at a screening..

[@Clubbeats97]

Welp. What’s the difference between dead rising and twisters anyways?

[@josht5248]

Did we watch the same twister? Did we watch the same TWISTERS?

[@iCb0x]

Man this review is a bummer!! Twisters had so much heart, Glen was a ton of fun. Felt like a call back to the old days. To each their own

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

I agree but much like these guys I also rewatched the first movie before watching this one and this one is just not as good sadly.

[@iCb0x]

@@BasketCase-rr7tx that’s so fair. The back to back watch definitely brings a different perspective

[@woods5609]

Twister was just one of "those" movies. Perfect cast at the perfect moment in time. If you believed for a second that Twisters had a chance of recapturing that, you were always going to be disappointed. Shout out to maybe the worst thing I've ever heard Tim say...."I liked this movie but I would almost rather that it sucked"

[@skarbone1]

Hey Tim, just FYI. The reason cars get picked up is because the wind passes under them and generates lift. When you’re laying on the ground, you’re minimising the surface area that wind can exert force. So if that dude had army crawled across the pool, he would’ve survived. That’s why they say if you’re in a car that you know is going to get hit by a tornado, you’re actually safer exiting the vehicle and laying prone in a ditch.

[@Genefreak1]

No alien in review!?!?!

[@dakotaallen5672]

At an hour in, ya'll say you dont understand why the bad guy would want to develop in tornado alley. As someone who lives in tornado alley I can assure you, houses are still expensive here. Also, are you under the impression the developer gives a shit what happens after they sell the house?

[@troymuller496]

I mean. If you fell in love with and grew up on Twister, I’m not surprised this one didn’t “hit all the same notes” after seeing it 3 times, it’s a standalone sequel and imo was pretty great

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

That’s not really the issue. The issue is that the first movie has aged so well and if anything it seems better now than it did when it released. This movie just couldn’t live up to it.

[@troymuller496]

@@BasketCase-rr7txthen you went into this moving wrong if you are comparing it to the original. If it was a direct sequel sure, but as a standalone, it should be looked at as separate. And their other criticisms about it just make me think they wanted it to be a direct follow up

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

@@troymuller496 I mean... it actually is a direct sequel, its clearly set in the same universe because Dorothy V is in it, which would be the next Dorothy after the four we see in the original movie. Also, its kinda impossible not to compare them seeing as these two movies are basically the only two big budget movies about Tornados that have ever been made. It would be weird not to compare them.

[@troymuller496]

@@BasketCase-rr7tx it’s a stand alone sequel and it’s actually not hard to compare them. I watched them both too and had no problem separating them

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

@@troymuller496 ok. But that still doesn’t really change the fact that the first one is just better.

[@Zay_1519]

Alien in review please

[@Erwin_Efforts]

I cannot disagree with this review more, aside from the note about the original movie's score being a lot better. I am really surprised, because I genuinely thought it was such an obvious improvement. I thought the orignal fell flat on all fronts except the score. I thought this new movie succeeded everywhere the original failed, again except for the score. The subjectivity of film, right? Weird how vastly different film can strike us.

[@AndrewB2189]

You thought the characters were better in this one?

[@Erwin_Efforts]

@@AndrewB2189 Yeah, I really did. But you've also got to understand that I thought they were still only okay. Watching the original, I could not have cared less about what was going on between the characters. And I thought the performances in that original were surprisingly bad, given how talented I know those actors really are. Like, the only characters I enjoyed at all in the original were Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jeremy Davies.

[@AndrewB2189]

@@Erwin_Efforts Maybe it’s the nostalgia but I thought Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt had way more chemistry than this movie’s leads. I agree that Philip Seymour Hoffman was the most memorable side character. Twisters characters didn’t feel real to me. I was just thinking “oh that’s that actor I’ve seen in something else”

[@Erwin_Efforts]

@@AndrewB2189 Yeah, I think that's just kinda where both films struck me and some like me differently from a lot of others. Just the way that goes, though, right? One of the interesting things about the art form.

[@maxwelllittle6325]

I get the points made in the review but I had way more fun with Twisters than Twister. I don’t enjoy watching almost anyone in the first movie interact and the leads especially felt awkward. That said even as a kid I didn’t like the first one so I get it.

[@spoommckay1146]

I also was pretty surprised in this movie when at the end you find out twisters was in the dead rising universe

[@numbr87]

This is my petition for all the Disaster Cast movies to be ranked on the same list

[@JustNickTho]

Day 32 of asking for Alien In Review. I already got my tickets for Romulus on the 15th!

[@Ryan-tm7ug]

The core? Maybe the ALIEN/PREDATOR FRANCHISES

[@doggeh3641]

Im a bit of a tornado geek so I cant help but have enjoyed this movie. I noticed a lot of nods to the weather fandom (I guess?) in the movie. Pretty sure Glen Powell’s character is based off real life extreme storm chaser/youtuber Reed Timmer. Its also pretty common for storm chasers to stop chasing and start helping folks out if a storm hits a town. The city of El Reno, as shown at the end of the movie was very well nearly hit by the widest tornado on record. Pretty well known in the weather community as it took the lives of 3 pro storm chasers. I think also the movie screen being ripped out of the theater at the end was a nod to the 2021 Mayfield, KY tornado hitting and perfectly taking out a wall in a local theater. That being said….Twister is definitely superior. Its a shame Helen Hunt couldnt have a Twisters cameo.

[@blairsnyder1067]

You all reviewing the new Aliens?

[@codyjones3456]

Also you guys choosing to review The Core is wild😂

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

The core is a fun movie that was unfairly maligned upon release IMO. It’s ridiculous, but so is every disaster movie ever made.

[@mjspresents]

"My jeans were holding onto my pipe!" - Nick Scarpino 😂😂😂 Put that on the Twisters 4k Blu-ray and make it a T-shirt where Glen Powell is flexing and Nick is right next to him, blushing like Betty Boop! 😂😂😂😂

[@TheSolo123]

We want Alien in Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! throw in the predator movies as well. Do the whole Franchise! Is there a poll we can submit? you will see the truth!

[@awed24]

I live in Oklahoma and a lot of my friends worked on this movie and it was filmed here!!!

[@fabioarapi1043]

1:07:41 one of the all time KF moments right there

[@fedwyn]

There's a reason this movie is doing great in the middle of the states and not in the coasts and it's because people that live where tornadoes actually happen relate to this story. Because a lot of this stuff actually happens where tornadoes land

[@TopCheeseBarDown]

Tbh I knew this was coming after the Twister video. James and Elyse started taking shots at Twisters in that video and got in everyone’s heads because everyone loves and respects them. Total bummer but totally saw this coming. If they weren’t on this series Tim would’ve loved this movie, guaranteed.

[@zdgro]

twister and twisters are both solid fun 3 out 5 star movies imo

[@seanv4735]

What Irish accent are you talking about? Not a single Irish person would say that’s an Irish accent 😂😂

[@WEAREB0A]

I love the channel...love these reveiws, but... what's the beef man... when are you covering ALIEN!?

[@David-uc6sg]

How Did This Get Made(the podcast Paul Scheer does) did Geostorm years ago and a but from the episode is screaming GEOSTORM. I'd 100% bet this is why he has a cameo role in this.

[@scottlane]

Considering all the driving in this film the licensed music is a great fit.

[@ChristianC-gy1ym]

90s movies hit different and we can get into a huge worldwide discussion for all the different reasons and the psychology behind them. But what's the point.

[@DarkHaseo21]

I love James and Elyse's energy so much. Glad to see them again.

[@JaCanny92]

Tim, if you're a fan of Truck drills and fire twisters you should check out Into the Storm. It's not amazing, it's a found footage style, but it delivers truck drills and fire tornadoes to a bigger degree.

[@henryjb46]

Tim thinks that guy looks like zackery levy but i think Glen Powell sounds like stephen colbert. Lol

[@ccan_max5285]

Twisters is stupid and I enjoyed it lol

[@petelannen3077]

It's called the enhanced fujita scale.

[@TheDoctorZeus]

I loved Dead Rising but didn't understand why the devs added so many tornados in the Remaster.

[@bennetthasty7886]

So I grew up in Joplin MO in the Midwest and we had a F5 once and you spoke about why don’t these dumb locals have basements well most people there don’t have basements because the ground was rock and clay not dirt so the cost of digging one wasn’t worth the lives that would have been saved by them so Captitalism for the win 😂

[@mightheal]

I've been wondering why homes in Tornado alley aren't more buried underground or more dome designed or any other design that has Tornados in mind.

[@Meatless_Gamer]

I thought the 1st one had a more fun cast (especially Philip Seymour Hoffman), but this one felt like it had higher stakes. Seeing characters die at the beginning really set up the rest of the movie to leave you feeling unsure who would survive each twister encounter. I really enjoyed the 2nd one more and I think people's nostalgia for the 1st one are somewhat tainting their feelings towards this one.

[@mightheal]

This is going to be the case where I can't wait to see the fan edit where they put the Twister audio into Twisters.

[@Twinsfan1992]

I had seen the og when i was a kid but just rewatched for the first time in probably 20 years. I thought it was fine, kind of funny, and lots of unearned moments. The sequel I think I actually prefer from some perspectives but it will never be a "classic" like the original similar feeling between Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick. I thought Twisters was exactly what i wanted it to be, a fun summer theater movie that i didn't have to try and pick apart, just enjoy the ride

[@ddubthedev]

This review is wild. I loved this movie and the original Twister is also one of my favourite and most watched movies.

[@bennetthasty7886]

Am I the only one that thought Glen Powell looked old enough that he could have been cast as Kiernan Shipka’s boyfriend or dad depending on how they wanted to write the script 😂❤🎉

[@AndrewB2189]

Yeah I thought he looked way too old for Daisy Edgar-Jones. I didn’t think they had chemistry

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

@@AndrewB2189age doesn’t equal chemistry. Look at a movie like Lost in Translation.

[@thwartedjunk9655]

Just started this so no idea if it's even mentioned but there were at least 2 camera angles of people that gave Final Destination vibes I think due to the depth of field, but nothing ever happens lol Like early on one of the main guys gets hit by a few strands of hay and it was like oh he's about to get taken out by a hay bale, but it never happens

[@AndrewB2189]

This was the loudest movie I’ve ever seen. I had a headache for the rest of the night

[@fraseralex1993]

I can’t believe I’ve lived long enough that we’re getting The Core, a movie I loved as a kid, then revisited as an adult and realized it’s absolute fucking trash (except for the Tooch of course)

[@Leet1995]

Why is pepperoni a bold choice? Is my only question

[@WilliamPatrickDelgadoJD]

More Willems please

[@NowakP]

Went to see it with my wife the other day. We thought it was really fun. Really dumb, but fun. The fact that we haven't been to the cinema in at least a year might have had something to do with it though. One thing to note is that when the movie ended, we both felt like there was another half of the movie that was missing 😅

[@igpx07]

I agree with Tim, my friend said to me in the beginning “is that Zach Levi???” lol

[@josephgrigsby]

Chase it! This movie was funny but could have been a bit more terrifying, I guess the characters conquering their fears made the twisters seem like a gust of wind. No big deal.

[@VanGl0rious]

I never understood the love for the original Twister. So I went into this with low expectations. It was fine. I enjoyed it more than the first one

[@kevinhmj08]

Everyday we stray further from Mamma Mia in Review 😥

[@bobby.palacios]

Jesus man. The complete lack of control during the story about the man who cried in the theater. Definitely not something to laugh about.

[@jarednavarrete1740]

Knowing these people, I won't be surprised if they actually forgot Inside Out 2 exists...

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

Tim hit the nail on the head when he mentioned how its shocking and disapointing that this movie isnt anywhere near as visually spectacular as the first one, which makes no sense as there has been 30 years between them. In fact, besides the last act, this movie barely has anything that can even be called an action scene. Glen Powell is awesome though.

[@TheRealGarate]

I didnt think Capcom would add that many new twists

[@Twinsfan1992]

I want Alien in review

[@mexicanadian0846]

Do deep impact please and can't wait for Day After Tomorrow. One of my favorites

[@TrimblyWimbly]

So glad I’m not the only one who felt this way. My wife and I left the theater and both just felt “meh” about it

[@dustyw8771]

Just blame Roger

[@mutedmayday]

I really liked this movie but I think it could have been better. Definitely not as down on it as them. I also didn't watch the original before watching this one.

[@TheJosephKnight]

I wonder if they didn't push the romance plot because of the age gap? Not huge, but 10 year gap. I know there was criticism of Jurassic Park for the 20 year age gap.

[@marirod7849]

Kate’s boyfriend did look like Zachary Levi! That’s exactly what I thought.

[@josephgrigsby]

Same hahaha

[@Ryancharles35]

Please! Review Sunshine for disaster in review!

[@MelodicQuest]

Glen Powell is a 35 year old man and looks like a 35 year old man. Daisy Edgar-Jones is 26 and could easily pass for a teenager.

[@goodwolf152]

I definitely did not enjoy this movie, lol. Not sure I understand the generally positive reviews for this one. The first one was dumb and charming…this one was just dumb.

[@masofdas]

Crow in review?

[@jacoblabelle]

whoopsies wrong title guys

[@AlexB92254]

The most cinemasins nitpicky review we’ve had on these In-Reviews. Some of the criticism was bizarre and stuff you can easily level at the first one.

[@daynmitchell7543]

Watched this at a drive in Saturday. The movie was so boring and I don’t know why they hired an Amazon driver to act.

[@bennetthasty7886]

Joey is right, KZbinrs are cringe 😂❤🎉

[@trevorswabby5098]

This review seems a little to critical

[@Yoshi-sn4je]

I was looking forward to this review, what a disappointment man 😕

[@Juggernaut-IV]

Dead rising got weird

[@igpx07]

I’m eating

[@DenseCloudz]

Man….watching people be down on a fun romp of a movie is so depressing. Like how are people so…..miserable?

[@MelodicQuest]

The biggest sin this movie commits is that it treats death like a gag. Sure, Kate's friends die at the beginning, but then it creates this cartoonishly mean couple just so it's funny when they die. Does death mean something in this movie, or doesn't it?

[@yeschefx]

1:45 that wasn’t an earthquake you felt… that was just joey sitting down in her theatre seat

[@lobben85]

Must suck being this much of a sad pathetic loser.

[@codyjones3456]

Damn y’all are just drunk with these thumbnails at this point lol

[@BrklynRoses]

Who are we blaming for the title issue? Playful of course. I'm going to guess this is a KF/AF bit.

[@k1lladragons718]

I’m showering

[@malachigonzales9542]

Anyone know why they decided to review the Twister movies? Of course they can do whatever they want but disaster movies, even if good, are pretty mediocre and forgetable IMO. Should've done Aliens even if they would've had to do it out of order. Especially since with new movies people are actually anticipating seems to boost the view count.

[@alextownley9388]

Please fix the title lmao

[@WonderBeaver007]

title and video dont match

[@frostbot117]

Your title and video don't match.

[@AR_112]

This film was ass. The original was way better
