Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Cody Gearheart
Fun effects for the time, good actors, cheesy lines, and awesome chases and scenery.

Who knew you could make a story about wind interesting. I wonder, if after the filming was done, Paxton was overheard saying, "Storm over, man. Storm over." Twister has a good cast, great eye candy, very nice FX AND if you can't laugh at flying livestock, I don't want to know you.This is a good flick and a must see for all us Helen Hunt fans. I can watch this every 5 - 7 years.

I watch this film fairly often, as it's one of my wife's favorites. Actually, I have a soft spot for it too, as the final scene is filmed only 2 miles away from a good friend of mine (his silos can be seen in the background as the team approaches to rescue Bill & Jo). I enjoy this film as I would a fantasy film, as it has little connection with reality. Tractors, combines and even houses are transported through the air by the tornado, but the pickup truck driven by our intrepid scientists stays firmly on the ground. The script is full of holes and predictable clichés, but it is still entertaining enough with a few good lines and characters.

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
