Universal Pictures recently released the Twisters (2024) 4K UHD. Let's take a look at it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

Ever since a devastating tornado encounter, Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones) gave up chasing storms across the Oklahoma prairie to safely study them on screens in New York City. Lured back to the field by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) and a once-in-a-lifetime scientific opportunity, Kate crosses paths with Tyler (Glen Powell), a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler whose thirst for tornado-tracking adventures made him a social media sensation. As storm season intensifies with terrifying phenomena unlike anything seen before, Kate and Tyler realize they may need to work together if they are to have any chance of taming, and surviving, an unprecedented outbreak of destructive tornados.

Twisters (2024) is available on 4K UHD + Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD. While the film has no real connection to the 1996 original, it is still a fun and exciting action disaster flick. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you don't own the original Twister (1996), grab it on 4K UHD (reviewed here), or in the 2-Movie Collection on Blu-ray, and DVD.
