Twisters wastes far too much of its runtime, establishing villains instead of focusing on the very obvious and more interesting struggle of man against Mother Nature. When Twister was released in 1996, it was unlike anything anyone had seen before.

We had seen storms and weather in movies before, but this film was about getting up close and personal with tornados.
People are here to see the tornados, and that's why they are showing up to a movie called Twisters. It feels like this film takes too long to get to any of the storms aside from the cold opening. It's an effective opening, in the same way as the opening scene of the original film was effective, but any momentum or sense of horror from that scene is abandoned with a very slow lead-up to seeing some actual storms.
