So for $21,600 I could attempt the goal of the main characters in Twisters.
Does that price include the Pepsi cans?
Yes but not the 5¢ deposit if you are in CT-HI-IA-ME-MA-NY-OR-VT. MI 10¢. CA CRV.
Strapping you and your almost-ex-wife onto some random pipe in a barn so you can both get sucked up by an F5 tornado?
I'd say that's worth it.
Twisters (the recent sequel starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos) has a new team trying to set up 3 phased array radars 120° from each other to catch an unprecedented surround view of a tornado. It was better than I expected.
Even for a post-mortem Crichton film and story?
Have you seen what they did to Jurassic Park? I mean, Timelines was bad enough (unless you're desperate for Paul Walker eye candy), and that was while he was still alive. So bad that he didn't have another movie writer's credit until he'd been dead for 7 years.
