TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

ccman2 I've gone storm chasing before and this movie really entails how that mother nature can create an angry sky and just as angry people. The graphics are good, dialogue's good, plot is okay, and is an all and all genuine movie. While it's not a very much of a feel good movie, it's a movie showing just how chaotic weather and your own life can get.

gracefuller-72251 "Twister" stars Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton as Dr. Jo Harding and Bill Harding, whom are investigating and chasing an immensely intense series of tornadoes. Scenes in "Twister" were relatively accurate, yet horrific portrayals of how twisters and tornadoes are perceived and experienced. The main storm chasers, Dr. Jo Harding and Bill Harding, speak of series of storms occurring in one of the beginning settings of the movie. They are both storm chasers and are expecting tornadoes to arrive after the sky begins to show signs of a tornado forming. Watchers can see the lightning and the dark clouds in the sky behind the characters during the beginning of the movie. This weather is similar to how clouds of debris begin to form today before tornadoes. The scenes of the tornado show dust clouds forming around the tunnel of the tornadoes and the darkish green clouds and sky that surround it. This is an accurate portrayal of real-life tornadoes and how they look from afar. However, it shows debris being blown away from the tornado when in reality it should have been sucked into the tornado itself. This portrayal of the tornado was inaccurate and not scientifically correct. Also, the sounds of the tornadoes in the movie are inaccurate to how real tornadoes should sound. Real tornadoes have a roaring sound and sound as if a train was near. However, in the movie, they used sounds that didn't have this train engine sound.Dr. Jo Harding and her fellow storm chasers were preparing to follow these tornadoes in their "tornado proof" vehicles. Storm chasers today use these tactics when chasing storms. They guard themselves with these tornado proof vehicles along with their many computerized machines to help dictate and describe the characteristics of the inside of a tornado in a closer perspective. This is a true representation of how storm chasers are seen today. The precautions the characters took in "Twister" accurately displayed those actions an everyday citizen should take. Hiding in underground cellars, driving and moving away from the direction the tornado seems to be going, and listening to radio and television announcements that are being put out about the weather and precautions one should take in order to not be harmed or killed. I learned a few lessons from this movie: don't be a storm chaser unless you plan on close death or actual death, and don't believe that all things which happen in movies will happen in real-life situations and circumstances. Although "Twister" had its inaccurate scenes, it was a relatively realistic movie and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

Maddyclassicfilms Twister is directed by Jan De Bont, is written by Michael Crichton and Ann-Marie Martin and has music by Mark Mancina. The film stars Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jamie Gertz, Lois Smith, Alan Ruck and Cary Elwes.Twister is quite an experience. The film has some very good special effects and there's plenty of action and suspense. Despite the serious subject matter the film is very funny too, thanks to Philip Seymour Hoffman as Dusty.Bill and Jo Harding (Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt)are storm chasers who used to be married to each other. Bill wants a divorce so he can marry Melissa(Jamie Gertz). A series of devastating storms which develop into twisters bring Bill and Jo together again, as Jo and her team go after the twisters.The team hope to launch weather sensors into the twisters funnel, by doing so they hope to gather enough data to be able to help design a better twister warning system. To be able to launch the sensors they must get up close to the twister. They are all risking their lives, but do so because their aim is so worthwhile.The twisters they encounter get bigger and more frightening and the special effects for these sequences are very impressive.It becomes pretty obvious what will happen between Bill and Jo, I actually feel sorry for Melissa and Jamie Gertz makes her very sympathetic. This film could easily have ditched the relationship storyline and just focused on a storm chase team, it would have been just as good I'm sure.Alan Ruck, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Lois Smith all provide good support. Cary Elwes might as well be twirling a moustache as the films villain, rival storm chaser Jonas Miller.Twister is a very good film showing what happens when nature unleashes itself in full force. Makes you nervous whenever a strong breeze develops outside. Aunt Meg's delicious dinner makes me crave a dinner like that so bad each time I watch this.

Dylan Gallagher I usually love disaster films because with a solid and believable plot, they can be quite thrilling and intriguing; I do feel this movie was one of the flops in the disaster movie category, to be blatantly honest. So predictable! Hardly believable. The tornado always cleared up literally JUST as it passes them, every time! What are the odds, hey? The scattered chunks of debris that consistently kept missing these two love-birds/storm chasers by centimeters to meters was astounding! It was starting to become very repetitive. Little to no character development, so growing attached to any of the characters is out of the question; if there happened to be any loss of life in the film, it wouldn't affect the viewer at all. Not the mention the acting was rather ordinary, to say the least. The main thing that bothered me in this film was one of the final scenes, where Dr. Jo Harding and Bill Harding are strapped tightly to a pipe in a tiny shack, and this massive F5 tornado rips through and goes straight over top of them, and they walk away afterward with not a single scratch. I might be just being overly realistic with this film, but that's a little much for me. If a tornado that has been collecting debris its entirely journey picked you up, chances are that you wouldn't survive it because you'd be shredded by rapidly moving debris; it wouldn't be a pleasant sight, that's for sure! I was quite disappointed with this film because disaster movies are some of my favorites to date. I guess any movie is worth a watch at least once though, right? -shrugs- Once is enough here. 4/10
