Summary: Great sound, poor video quality, okay plot for blockbuster.
Review: I bought Twister at the same time I bought my DVD player. This title made me realize what Dolby Digital AC-3 sound is all about. It took full advantage of the cababilities and justified the expense of my player. The picture quality, while clear seemed somewhat grainy on my player. The plot is okay for a blockbuster. I rated it four stars because the sound made it a good DVD movie.

Summary: The best sound demo to show off your home theater!
Review: Sure the plot and story were pretty bogus, but the tornados were the the main star of the show that people came to watch. The sound of these suckers was fantastic.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: This mocie was great...It had action and special effects thru the whole thing not just parts of it. Great tornado effects.The cow was totally awesome. I think this movie is a must get for anyone who likes disaster movies.
Rating:
Summary: very exciting, without senseless violence
Review: I am not a fan of the type of disaster movies when you just wait for the band of characters to get killed off one by one ( ex: Dante's Peak, Armageddon) This movie is more about the tornados and trying to get measurements of them then the violence that they cause. There is the occational mishap when Helen Hunt and paxton get caught in the tornado but there is very few deaths.

Summary: GREAT SPECIAL EFFECTS BONANZA, HOWEVER IT'S ACTING STUNK
Review: I would only recommend TWISTER for it's action and effects not it's acting. BILL PAXTON and HELEN HUNT'S characters are pretty lame and uninteresting as is the rest of the cast I've seen better acting by grade-schoolers. The only real reason to see this movie is it's great effects which are awsome to say the least wait till the cast encounters a F-5 tornado. How big and fast it is I won't give away but that's the only reason to see this movie at all.
Rating:
Summary: Great effects, laughable plot
Review: Watch this one for the effects, not for the great acting.Uninspired acting by just about everyone, cliche after cliche in storyline.

Summary: Good for one thing, Action. Not acting, not plot - action
Review: Sorry folks, you may love the movie and you may, like me, even want to watch it over and over but it is NOT a great movie. The direction is marginal, the plot is poor and in Pan and Scan the movie is worth maybe one full watching and toss it but.... in DVD with Home Theater and Wide Screen the movie's only claim to fame, tornado power, shines. It is not that they tried to increase anyones knowledge of tornadoes, if experts were used much they must have been ignored alot, but the shear power displayed is exciting and thrilling to watch. This is one of the movies you buy to show off the system, not to watch from end to end. If you have a DVD, consider it, if you are considering it in VHS just head for the local rental place to satisfy your curiosity.

Summary: You hate it or you love it...
Review: And I love it! Forget the people that say the plot is insipid--plots of many blockbusters are, and yet they make tons of money. Go figure. Forget the people that say the movement of the tornadoes were unrealistic--are these people meteorologists or storm chasers? Have they even seen a tornado first hand? You have to watch the movie for yourself. Helen Hunt plays a storm-chaser with a passion. Not just to understand the tornado and create an advanced warning system, but to defeat an old enemy who ripped her father away from her at a young age. Bill Paxton plays her husband who seeks to be her ex-husband so he can marry his new lady love, start his new job, and get on with his new life. Paxton gave up the chasing game but, as you can imagine, gets sucked right back in when he sees that his brainchild for studying the twister, Dorothy (aptly named), has come to fruition. His determination for this device to work binds him to the chase. A rival chaser (Cary Elwes), fueled by ambition to be the first and hang on to his grants and sponsors, has copied Paxton's design. Now it's a race to see who will succeed, and who will give up chasing forever.
Rating:
Summary: Fun and excellent replay value, especially on DVD.
Review: If you're looking for a smart action movie with actors that deserve Academy awards, this isn't you're movie. However, if you're looking for a fun, adventurous movie with great special effects and a decent storyline that will atleast keep you watching to the end, then Twister is one of the best. Hunt and Paxton not only convey the emotional danger behind the oncoming of the twisters but also, as stormchasers, display a giddy, child-like wonder for tornadoes. If you're watching on DVD, expect thunderous movie-theater sound that makes the fantastic twisters roar to life, which should add plenty of replay value to your movie. Also, selecting a particular scene to jump to will come particularly useful here, unlike some other DVD titles. If your the only one on the block to own a DVD player, this is a great title to show off. END
