Movie Reviews of Twister
Movie Review: one of the best disater movies of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of my favoriote movies I saw grown up in my adolescent years. The story is about Jo a young woman living in the late eigties or ealy ninties who is obbsed with tornado after she saw here father sucked up and killed by and f5 tornado when she was about ten years old. Joining here I Hunt her ex husband and his new wife. The three go on adventures with his storm chaser bodies and tornadoes get bigger and the action more intense as it gets futher into the movie. The second half of the movie after the scene at the out door movie theater gets super intense. Can they survive the twisters and be the first people to take measurements inside there funnel with assitance of four weather machines filled with seansr all nicked named Dorthy. This action packed adventure movie will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and screaming for more. If you like this I also recommend Night of Twister, Volcano, and Earthquake if you can find it. This movie should be fine for 13 and up due to some heavy language and heavy peril scenes for a movie of its time. This movie is worth having regardless of the price. I say about 15 to 30 dollars is a reasonable price to pay for this movie depending on the conditon.Movie Review: Storm Chasers Extraordinare
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie must have gotten Storm Chasers a real boost. Just as more and more videos of twisters appeared on nightly TV in the 90s this movie came out.One thing this movie is though it is an great introduction, in a bit of a farcical way to the science of tornados. This season of twisters has been very devastating and with so many storm chasers today, there are even what they call 'chaser jams' as the cars load the roads. Unlike the competition in the movie for who will get the best view, there is a courtesy.
However, this movie has great special effects, the cow in the air scene was somewhat comical. Touching was the scene of the destruction of a friends house, and horrifying was the scene just prior to it of a twister hitting a drive-in theater.
Hunt and Paxton work together well in this movie. The attempt to outrun the category 5 at the end was a bit unreal, yet you are on the edge of your seat as the 1/2 a mile wide funnel gets ever closer.
I have purchased this movie as a gift for friends and have it on my want list for the future.
Movie Review: Twister Is Packed With Action and Adventure.
Summary: 5 Stars
This 113-minute film by Warner Brothers Starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton really packs a wicked punch for its action and adventure.
Watch this team of storm chasers as they stare death in the face, while they chase some of the biggest tornados around.
The special effects are simply off the map ...as you are taken into the path of a twister with very real and lifelike footage.
The outstanding cast of actors that fit perfectly into this film compliments this movie. The theme music fit perfectly with the characters in the film.
The camera angles while shooting this film are exactly what I would expect in a quality movie that is supposed to capture my attention and imagination. Very well done to say the least!
Anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet ...I highly recommend renting or buying it.
I have this DVD in my personal movie collection. It's a keeper!

Movie Review: I was quite "blown" away
Summary: 5 Stars
Twister is possibly one of the best movies ever to grace a screen. I remember that I used to watch every day when it first came out, and I still do as much as possible. As soon as the movie starts, the action is on. The opening scene tells the story of how the lead character, Joanne loses her Dad to an F5 tornado, that are so powerful they are refered to as the "finger of God."
Years later, now an adult, she and a team scientists chase after tornados in order to learn more about them. And with the new invention "Dorothy" a machine that can study the inside of a twister, they can learn more than ever before. But in order to use the device, it must be placed directly in the damage path of a twister.
The acting is superb, all the characters are very likable, accept of course the ones you aren't supposed to like (Jonas), and there is plenty of destruction. Buy this movie and buckle up, because it's going to be a wild ride.
Movie Review: Home Theater Demonstration DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first disc I bought since I got the home theater set up and this one you won't believe! Ok, I'll admit the story here is a little weak, but this isn't supposed to be a "Raging Bull" type of character study. This is a very entertaining, state of the arts effects, fun film. The sound from this DTS version is extraordinary. The separation of the 5.1 is incredible. The twister sequences will blow you away. You feel the sound and the fury! The only other disc that compares is the Saving Private Ryan one. For you home theater fanatics, this is your film.. you'll see it, hear it, and feel it. This disc also has some great extras like director commentary and a cool documentary of how it was made. All in all, it's not one of the finest 100 or 200 movies ever made, but you may find yourself watching it over and over for the experience of it! You'll love it! The movie itself is about a 3, but the DVD DTS is about a 5!
