SYNOPSIS:
Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Carter, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.
As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.

Saw this one last night, and it’s a ton of fun and the platonic ideal of a summer blockbuster (and frankly a far superior film to its predecessor), Lee Isaac Chung cooked here. Sometimes, you just wanna see pretty people chase tornadoes, and that’s enough.
They picked a bad date, hindsight is 20/20, but they really should have opened it a week earlier, it could have coexisted just fine with Universal’s own Despicable Me 4. It’s gonna lose all its PLFs next week to Deadpool & Wolverine and the drop probably won’t be pretty. But I think it can hang on after that and have a respectable domestic run.
