Pale imitation of what made the original such an unexpected smash of a disaster movie
. The only star of the original to appear is Dorothy, the vat of miniature probes designed to be sucked up by a tornado. However, a few big plot points do carry over: first, that the lead succumbs to the allure of tornadoes after a terrible tragedy.
The original worked because it balanced the VFX spectacle of rampaging forces of nature against the undeniable charm of Hunt and Bill Paxton as her equally tornado-obsessed soon-to-be-ex-husband. This time around, it’s only when Kate adopts an ambiguous Southern drawl that the meet-cute the film craves and demands has any sparks, and that’s halfway through the film.
Worse, Kosinski’s script is gutless. Every five minutes, someone talks about “once in a century conditions” and unprecedented weather: In a film where the heroes are supposed to be scientists, have the courage or common sense to say “climate change.” That said, everyone here is kind of an idiot.portrayed its characters as nerdy adrenaline junkies working in the world’s most dangerous lab conditions.
