Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure Rating: PG13 Release Date: 14-SEP-2004 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Twister was a mega-million-dollar blockbuster--helmed by a director (Dutchman Jan de Bont) hot off another scorcher hit (Speed)--that flaunted state-of-the-art digital effects and featured a popular leading actress (Helen Hunt) who would win an Academy Award for her next film (As Good As It Gets). But ask anybody who's seen it and they'll tell you who the real star of Twister is: the cow. Not to give anything away, but the cow is one of those inspired little touches (like, say, Bronson Pinchot's career-making cameo in Beverly Hills Cop) that adds a touch of personality to a gigantic Hollywood production. The story is blown out the window after an impressive prologue in which Hunt's character, as a little girl, witnesses her daddy being sucked into a tornado. Basically, Hunt and Bill Paxton are thrill-seeking meteorologists chasing twisters in order to study them (and help warn people of them, of course) with a new technology they've developed. If you thought the Kansas tornado in The Wizard of Oz was every bit as scary as the Wicked Witch of the West, then this may be the movie for you. --Jim Emerson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - terrifyingly terrificHow can anyone not like this masterpiece. The ride at Universal Theme Park in Orlando is just as boss as this incredible rollercoaster ride of an epic film. Strap yourself in and enjoy...the twister is coming and its godspeed or bust, yo! Rating: - Twister Blu-rayI love the movie anyway and I knew what was coming. I still ducked when the twister came. Blu-ray is the only way to see a movie this good Rating: - TwisterAnother great summer movie. Much better on blu ray, both picture & sound. I watched it twice in two days. The twisters look more realistic and scarier. I recommend this movie (blu ray) to anyone. Rating: - Tornadic ActivityThe movie Twister is one of my favorite "disaster movies". I have watched it 50 or more times. The special effects are so cool and the acting is really good, especially Helen Hunt, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Jami Gertz. I have owned the regular DVD for some time and because I recently acquired a Blu-ray player and love the great picture and sound it affords, I decided to duplicate this movie and get the Blu-ray version. I have to say that after watching it the first time I can't really tell that ...
