1996’s “Twister” was a moviegoing event. A fast-paced disaster film about storm chasers pursuing deadly weather while working on their relationships along the way, the feature provided chaotic theater escapism for the summer season, giving ticket-buyers a real ride. The screenplay was simplistic and acting was loaded with hammy turns, but director Jan be Bont created a visceral picture with major technical achievements. 28 years later, we have “Twisters,” which isn’t attempting to be a sequel, but a replication of the original endeavor. The writing (credited to Mark L. Smith) traces over the same story beats as before, and director Lee Isaac Chung (“Minari”) is in charge of summoning big screen mayhem, but the creative team manages to revive that special blockbuster magic for what’s essentially a do-over. “Twisters” isn’t a grand reimagining of tornado alley terror, but as pure entertainment with several menacing storm and rescue sequences, it works, reviving large-scale weather nightmares for the masses.
