Rating: Summary: The Best in Home Theater Review: Four stars -- an outstanding rating for a movie whose attempt at a plot should have been cut entirely.I chose this film to christen my new subwoofer, and I couldn't have chosen better. The storms growled, swirled, rumbled, rattled, and shook everything in my apartment (not to mention drawing the ire of my neighbors) simply some of the best sounds I've ever heard from DVD. I was particularly impressed with the swirling of the wind from speaker to speaker. I had not seen "Twister" since it was in the theater, and I must say it was nearly exactly as I remembered it. It made me nervous about thunderstorms again . . . If you have a home theater system and want to see what it really can do, use "Twister" as the test.
Rating: Summary: A Great Movie, Watch IT. Review: Spectacular Special effects, and a good story highlight this movie of two scientists, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, who are trying to develop an early warning system against tornadoes, while they do this, they try to avoid the fact that they still love each other, but by the film;s end, they know better. All in all a great movie.
Rating: Summary: Watchable story, Great Effects. Review: I really liked this film. From the story centering on the characters played by Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, and their efforts to send new computer equiment into a tornado to try and develop an early warning system, but running into many trouples and soul searching revelations in the process. Twister is a great film. Buy it.
Rating: Summary: The Chase Review: It was great and exciting. It kept you on your toes and the action kept on coming!
Rating: Summary: Excellent on DTS Review: Yes it's true, the plot is weak and there are numerous mistakes in the film, like hair not blowing when it should and a windshield appearing broken, then not, then broken again in a few seconds span. Nevertheless, the sound effects on this film are incredible and the visual effects are excellent! I had previously borrowed a friends Dolby Digital version and now have purchased the DTS version and the difference is noticeable. While the DD version is an excellent representation of the sound, it is much richer sounding with fuller bass effects on DTS. The thunderclaps coming from either side of the rear channels really immerse you into the action. Definitely a must have if you have a DTS compatible player and receiver. This will replace Saving Private Ryan-DTS as my home theater demonstration movie when friends visit.
Rating: Summary: Worth only to watch the visual effects... Review: This movie a couple of years ago was the first one that set the path for BIG NATURE CATASTROPHY movies with DARN EXPENSIVE special effects and MINIMAL common sense and TEPID actor performances. The visual effects send shivers down your spine, but unfortunately they make up only max. 30 minutes of the movie, so meanwhile you can take a nap, because sluggish romance between main characters is not persuasive, but there is nothing else in the movie, besides counting scenes that in real life would have killed our heroes: Well, if you don't know that NOTHING can survive after being crushed into the core of a tornado (yes, even if Ms. Hunt clutches the buttress of a bridge VERY TIGHTLY), you should watch CNN or DISCOVERY channel more often. From the point of view of true-to-life movie, "Volcanoe" was much better..
Rating: Summary: TWISTER IS AWESOME AND THE DTS SURROUND SOUND. Review: I still love this movie man!wow! finally WB has come out with DTS surround sound.The DTS sound is better then the DOLBY DIGITAL,the storm the wind in this movie was great,is very loud is like your there of the middle of the action.This DVD got good extra feature like commentary,behind-the-scene of twister and more.The picture is great too "crystal clear baby!"("WARNER BROS. put more movie with DTS sound! ")
Rating: Summary: Entertaining, but a little repetitive. Review: This movie was a blast. It was fun to watch and it was very entertaining. If you can, check it out on DVD, the digital sound mix is definately something you can use to show off your sound system. The only problem I had with this movie was the fact that the plot seemed to keep repeating: Go out and get tornado, almost get killed, survive. That is mostly the movie, and there is a side love story. Here is an interesting gripe, when they are 20 feet away running from the tornado, their hair isn't even blowing! I guess CG tornados can't do that. Still, great special effects, good fun, and good entertainment. Reccomended for action buffs.
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT MOVIE Review: Don't waste your time reading these reviews! Just BUY THE DARN MOVIE!
