    I hadnt watched any of the interviews with Lee, but wow what a smart and passionate guy. He injected so much heart into what could've been a boring, bad movie. Loved Twisters and cannot wait to see what he does next.

    I love that he embraced his nostalgia for Oklahoma and affection for Spielbergs action flicks and 90s blockbusters- he created something that was a beautiful joy to watch!

    Lee Isaac Chung's respect for movie making, meteorology, and the first movie is very evident in Twisters. It's an incredible film and it's awesome to hear in-depth about the passion behind the movie!

    The movie was such a BLAST! And Director Lee Isaac Chung sounded so passionate about this movie, which makes it even better for me now!

    One of the best movies I 've seen in a while. Wasn't expecting much since it was a sequel. This movie was better then the first one. The first one was fun but it didn't have the drama and science. Love they used country music in soundtrack and actually filmed it in Oklahoma, which seems appropriate. Fantastic movie!!!

    This guy is legend, can tell he's following his genuine passion and love for the project, keeping it legit, not cheaping out on methods and materials to just get a film done. Seeing this film.

    I saw Twisters and I thought it was pretty ok. I had nothing bad to say about it. But this added a whole new layer of understanding that made me appreciate it a lot more.

    That is really cool to see War of the Worlds 2005 was used by Mr. Chung as reference. It and Twister are easily my two favorite movies of all time, and it ups my appreciation for Twisters all the more.

    My daughter loved this, even though she was in town during the Rogers Ark tornado. After I was trying to tell her that we don't get tornados here. Great film and will watch it again this weekend but this time with my granddaughter.

    Absolutely Genius, Love the Wizard of Oz and War of Worlds Reference. I can even see the Jurassic Park reference when the car is backing up reversing with the tornado after it.

    This was such a fun movie and I am so obsessed with how Lee Isaac Chung is bringing back the 90’s blockbuster! Hot people saying “this theatre’s not ready for what’s coming”?! No notes.
