Summary: Top-notch special effects and acting.
Review: There's something that always gets on my nerves: When people rate and review DVDs, they only talk about the DVD itself and not the actual film. I mean, if they think there's nothing extra on the DVD, then they'll give the movie a bad rating. But what about the actual film itself? Have those people even really paid attention to the film or just complained about the DVD? That's why I suggest to people that they watch the films first on video or in the movie theater BEFORE seeing it on DVD so they will actually rate and review the film instead of just the DVD.Anyway, TWISTER is an excellent film. Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton make the perfect leading pair; they have a fantastic, supurb supporting cast as well. The special effects for the film are just amazing and the special effects are what makes the film so interesting. The plot is OK, but it's also kind of predictable. Even before watching this film you can tell that Jo (Helen Hunt) and Bill (Bill Paxton) will not only get their creation, Dorathy, working, but will also get back together again. The film is also kind of long, but I guess there was a lot happening and the producers and director thought that a long movie would be perfect for the film. This film is a must-see for anyone who loves action-packed, adventure films!

Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTION MOVIEs OF ALL TIME!!!!!!
Review: O man this movie is soo good. I loved this movie. It might start out as seeming a little slow, but it turns out to be awesome. Some of the people are a little weird also, but i guess you have to be weird to chase tornadoes. If you want to see a awesome, good, action, scary movie then this is it. It shows how cool the storm chasers are when they do their stuff. You really need to see this. But the only problem with the movie is the twisters always seem to folow the storm chasers everywhere they go!

Summary: Should've Been About the Game...
Review: "Twister" is a movie that stars a lot of tornadoes. Unfortunately, people get in their way. The special effects are top-notch, but the story is so full of little Hollywood tricks, it's hard to take. Why can't Helen Hunt be interested in tornadoes just because, well, tornadoes are interesting? That's not good enough for this flick, so the screenwriters throw in a flashback to the terrifying twister that killed her dad. It's as if they don't think the audience would believe and intelligent, attractive young woman would fritter away her life pursuing such an esoteric field of interest otherwise. Just a touch of Freudian silliness and typical screenplay shorthand that substitutes for real characterization. I was hoping that very same tornado would come back at the end so she could get revenge, but no such luck. Also, you can tell Bill Paxton's the good guy because he has some sort of mystical connection with the twisters- plus, his crew are a bunch of rock-n-roll tornado cowboys. They make supercells fun! And Cary Elwes is the bad guy because not only can he not sense tornadoes, but he's in it for money. It helps, too, that he drives around in all-black high tech vehicles. Thanks for telegraphing that, people. But then again, it's pretty easy to predict everything that's going to happen in the movie. On the positive side, you get to see plenty of tornado mayhem and that's worth at least one star. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie only adds up to another.

Summary: FANTASTIC MOVIE AND EVEN MORE FANTASTIC WITH DTS!
Review: Yes, this film is great, except, for the plot and some situations, but it's really almost excellent, and it's more enjoyable with DTS

Summary: Amazing movie
Review: This is an absolutely amazing movie. It has a terrific plot, great acting, and incredible special effects. It's a comedy, drama, action/adventure, and romance movie all rolled into one. Placed in rural Oklahoma, this story makes you feel like you're in the twisters. Sometimes you get so caught up that you forget it's just a movie. If you haven't seen this film, see it today! It is absolutely wonderful and sweet.

Summary: Major-league big-time garbage
Review: "Realistic special effects"? Take a look at a REAL tornado on video someday and then you'll see how phony the tornadoes in Twister really are. The way they move is wrong, the kinds of damage they do are wrong, the skies are wrong, the clouds are wrong, the winds are wrong, the sounds are wrong.... Since there's no other reason to watch this movie, go get one of the excellent Tornado Video Classics videos instead.

Summary: No Plot?
Review: Ok, I admit it. This movie is all about special effects, but for those of you who said it has no plot, you must have been watching a different movie. I understood the plot the first time I watched the film. It actually has several plots. There is the obvious love triangle, and then there is the race to be the first to test a new tornado observation technology, (Dorothy). There are also several sub plots which I will not go into. The bottom line is, this movie is fun to watch! It kept me, and everyone else I know on the edge of their seat! Being from Oklahoma where the film is set, it was even more interesting.

Summary: THE BIG LIE
Review: Well, it's a nice wide-screen version but my DVD has NO behind the scenes documentary, NO audio commentary, and NO music video. Well, I don't careabout the video but I bought the thing for the commentary and it isn't there. This disc is mis-packaged. Ofcourse it's impossible to even contact Warner Bros. about it. Nothing worse than relaxing at the end of theday with your latest DVD and finding that all you purchased was a giant HASSLE.

Summary: Pure plotless pleasure
Review: This title has the most adrenaline-pumping sound I've ever heard off a DVD. Even on my low-budget package home-theater system, the DTS soundtrack is absolutely mind-blowing. It's universally acknowledged that Twister is light on plot. It has the most predictable storyline of 1996, and why not? A heavy plot would only detract from the jaw-dropping thrill of watching nature's dark, windy instruments of terror rip apart buildings and launch missiles of debris through the air. So hit the couch, hold tight, and don't forget to catch your breath.

Summary: Wind lashing action
Review: I watched this movie to see Helen Hunt. And she plays her part well. But the star of this movie is the Twister and the effects it has on it surroundings. The special effects are great. I have heard some people say that the plot is not great....There is a love story, a healing of a pscological trauma and the story of what it is like to be a storm chaser.....So I think there is a plot with sub-plots involved. But when all is said and done, the twister steals the show.
