Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

byson5186 This was one of the movies I frequently watched as a kid, and took real interests in tornadoes from a kid's perspective. Of all the movies ever made, this movie seems to be one of the better known movies that is still frequently watched today, 20-years later. When I think of tornadoes I think back to this movie as I'm sure a lot of us do. This movie introduced me as a kid to the different scales of tornadoes. I didn't know there was a different scale of tornadoes, and a lot of people I knew didn't seem to know it at the time. Now, it seems like it's common knowledge that there are different tornado scales. Also, this is arguably Bill Paxton's most memorable movie, and I want to say R.I.P. Bill Paxton.You can watch this movie and be amazed by the action, showing the destructive power of tornadoes. This movie also takes place in rural Oklahoma, so we get views of that area. This movie also has a plot to it besides just chasing tornadoes and escaping them. A main plot of this movie is trying to get a tornado instrument in the air that analyzes tornadoes, Dorothy. It can also make us ask if tornado chasers really get this close to a tornado?This movie is entertaining, and well-remembered but it has it's flaws. One of the flaws is it is a long movie, almost 2 hours long. I'm sure if we watch the movie, we watch it for the tornadoes. The tornado scenes are breath-taking action that will keep us entertained. A lot of the other scenes tornadoes aren't in, aren't entertaining and we see the characters on a long drive in rural Oklahoma, using maps before GPS was common.Another flaw of the movie is I feel like the movie doesn't have likable characters or character development. We might like Helen Hunt as Jo in this movie, but there is nothing really interesting about the characters, aside from being tornado chasers. These aren't characters you'd care to see in a sequel. It just seems like a team of tornado chasers, that there isn't much to know about them. The only characters you can really name are: Jo, Bill, Melissa, Dusty, Jonas, and Meg. There's nothing really interesting about the rest of the characters, and another plot of this movie is seeing how Jo and Bill work together after filing for divorce. Can they get their relationship back?I also want to say that it's too bad they vilify the character Jonas. Jonas was played by Cary Elwes who plays the likable character Westley in a movie we've all seen, The Princess Bride. He also played Robin Hood in Robin Hood Men In Tights, a funny movie. Too bad they had to vilify him, and not like he's a bad guy, but the movie just makes him an enemy when there's a contest between him and Bill, a character we're supposed to like.All in all, this is an entertaining movie. But, because of the lack of character development or interesting likable characters, mostly just filling a role for the movie to work with this plot with little background information, I give this movie a 7/10. It still is entertaining and very good, but it has these flaws.

adonis98-743-186503 Bill and Jo Harding, advanced storm chasers on the brink of divorce, must join together to create an advanced weather alert system by putting themselves in the cross-hairs of extremely violent tornadoes. It's funny how back in the 1990's there were so many great Natural Disaster Films and now there's only like 1 or 2 of course i'm talking about the movie "Twister" starring Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt and Philip Seymour Hoffman and it does have a very simple premise and story that fans won't be disappointed plus the special effects for a 1996 movie were actually pretty enjoyable and the performances by the 2 leading actors were very good it's for sure not the movie that you would expect to be nominated for 2 Oscars but it's still an enjoyable action flick that will definitely keep you relaxed.

billie My family didn't like watching this movie so much where I tried to watch it whenever I could, until I finally bought the DVD. It made me love the movie even more when my husband and I were on our first date and I found out it was his favorite too :) ! Our love for the movie has apparently/hopefully been passed on to our two-year-old son, he was getting excited last time we watched it. So, it may not be completely technically currect on somethings but it's the storyline of chasing tornados and the action that goes with that that I love so much! It's a great movie about not being hung up in the past and doing what you love. (I think it'd be interesting to see it remade with our current technology but at the same time I don't usually like remakes, half the time the essence(I guess) of the movie gets lost.)

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Twister" is an entertaining movie, despite it being from 1996, and it still does hold up its own even today. The movie is predictable, yes, but still offers good entertainment. I actually do believe that "Twister" is the first disaster movie that I watched that actually left a lasting impression.The story is straight forward; a group of hurricane researchers and scientists are crossing USA, tracking twisters in the name of science, coming in with very different backstories. But they are in a very turbulent field of science and right in the eye of the storm, so to speak.There is a great, continuous flow to the movie and there isn't really a dull or boring moment throughout the entire movie.For a movie from 1996, then the effects were quite good. Of course they falter by today's standard, but they serve their purpose quite well and do pass as believable, which is what matters the most.What is most impressive, however, is the impressive array of actors and actresses that they had on the cast list. A list which includes Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Cary Elwes, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Ruck and of course the fabulous Jeremy Davies."Twister" is the type of movie that everyone has seen at one point or another, and it does have enough contents to actually sustain multiple viewings. For some reason, it just doesn't get old.
