A FORCE 5 film! - By: M. Perkins, 18 May 2008 
Well I've had this film on video, laserdisc, DVD & now Blu ray! ... I think I like it! Its nothing amazing plot wise, but its just darn good fun to watch! This is also a region free blu ray which makes it even more value!
Picture is awesome! I upscaled the dvd version recently & it definetly looked dated! This blows it out of the water! However, the sound is the real showcase here! if you have a hi def sound system get ready to be blown away!
Fun Stuff - By: Geoffrey McCarthy, 09 Mar 2008 
I remember seeing this film at the cinema & I can't believe it was almost 12 years ago. I also remember the film proceeded to blow off my ears, destroy my ear drums & chew up what was left of my hearing!!!! I came out of the cinema slightly deaf as a result but I was also amazed with what I had just gone through. I've never seen (or heard) a real tornado but I can imagine but if they are anything like what is depicted here then they must be, as is quoted in the film, 'like the hand of God'.
This film is a real rollercoaster of a ride. There's not much in the way of script or story & the dialogue is hammy. The effects are very good & there is a real sense of movement flowing through the film; lots of helicopter shots swooping down on cars! But who cares about the bad acting, story & script; from time to time we alll need to see a film like this where you can just sit back & be entertained. Unfortunately this is one film which loses a big chunk in transition from the big to the smalll screen particularly that sound. But it's still a good ride.
Wind lashing action - By: M. A. Ramos, 04 Oct 2007 I watched this movie to see Helen Hunt. And she plays her part well. But the star of this movie is the Twister & the effects it has on it surroundings. The special effects are great. I have heard some people say that the plot is not great....There is a love story, a healing of a pscological trauma & the story of what it is like to be a storm chaser.....So I think there is a plot with sub-plots involved. But when alll is said & done, the twister steals the show.
HAD ME IN A SPIN - By: Nevs, 27 Sep 2007 Great special effects carry a fairly bland storyline, but very watchable film.
A team of researchers aim to plant a device in the path of a twister to monitor what makes them form & how they move, the idea being to provide the public more advance warning of their arrival. Needless to say this is quite a dangerous operation, & the twisters move fairly randomnly. Two teams compete to get the data & risks are taken for one team, with devestating results.
Great scenes where cows, farm equipment & a full size petrol tanker are flying around the screen.
Great disaster film.
Another good disaster movie - By: crazykat, 02 Mar 2007 Movies with eruptions (volcanoes,tornadoes & earthqakes) always appeal to me, even if they look pretty false. Twister is a good tornado moviewith good acting. The only reason i rated this 4 stars was because the tornadoes could have been better. However this doesnt make the movie any less better to watch.
