Lee Isaac Chung directs Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos in this requel where tornado chasers keep putting themselves in the way of big, swirly destructive weather.

Pretty much a rerun of everything good and everything a bit naff about the mid nineties blockbuster. Powell is all handsome swagger but I’m not sure Edgar-Jones adds much… and the narrative focus is on her. Like Jan De Bont’s relentless original, this is ultimately just a delivery system for watching cute people surviving hurricanes from a series of different angles. It does that pretty well with no new tricks. I’d say the mix of CGI and practical FX from 1996 holds up a little better than some the murky swells here but that is just one of my regular gripes.

Watched at the Vue Omni Centre.
