‘Roller coaster with wind and water’: People describe seeing ‘Twisters’ in 4DX as ‘before and after’ videos trend on TikTok
Seeing a lot of hype about Twisters in 4DX? We can explain.
Twisters, the sequel to 1996’s Twister (singular), has just been released in theaters. Not only that, the Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones starrer swirled up a storm of an opening weekend, making over $80 million.
Movie-goers are flocking to see Twisters in 4DX
The film is also available to see in 4D, in which “the seats have motion-enabled features that create vibrations and sensations that mimic the events unfolding on screen.”
Yup, the home viewing experience can’t really recreate the 4D (unless you time it very specifically, weather-wise).

Fans share their 4DX experiences
As a result, among the many who saw the film this weekend, a good chunk chose the 4D experience—and they’re sharing their reviews online, both of excitement and warning.
Let’s just say that you may get wet. Here's how people are describing their experience on social media:
Twisters in 4DX inspires "before and after" TikTok trend
People on TikTok are also sharing what they looked like when they first showed up to the theater and what they looked like leaving the 4DX experience. It's... something:

As for the many references to the Twister ride, indeed, there used to be a ride at Universal Studios Florida called Twister…Ride It Out. (It has since been replaced with, I kid you not, a Jimmy Fallon ride.)
So yeah, seems harrowing, if just for the carpet of wet popcorn covering the floors by the end. Still, I salute the brave souls who chose to Twist in 4D.
