Movie Reviews of Night of the Twisters
Movie Review: "It's at least a 5 on the Fujita scale"
Summary: 5 Stars
That's one of our favorite lines from this movie. LOL!!! If you are looking for a realistic, weather-catastrophe-type of movie, and are very picky about details being accurate, this is not the movie for you. "Twister" is better in that respect (but only a LITTLE). BUT, if you are a science-nerdy-type of person who greatly enjoys picking out all the things that are "wrong" with a movie, and finds it quite humorous, then this is the movie for you! My husband and I are major weather buffs (he was a professional meteorologist, and I'm an amateur hobbyist/trained spotter), and this is our favorite "funny" movie. There are SOOO many peculiarities and inconsistencies in this movie that I could write about; but it's much more fun to watch the movie and find them yourself. We've seen it maybe 30 times or more; and we're still finding things in this movie that are just "off" that we hadn't noticed before. Yep, this is definitely one of our most favoritest movies. However, kids who are scared of tornadoes may be frightened of this movie, because they most likely will not understand WHY this movie is so fake. In my mind, no movie tornado will ever compare to the terrifyingly realistic twister on "The Wizard of Oz," and this movie certainly doesn't even come close. But its entertainment value is worth every penny spent on it. ;-)
