critics consensus
A high-concept blockbuster that emphasizes special effects over three-dimensional characters, Twister's visceral thrills are often offset by the film's generic plot. Read critic reviews

Movie Info
During the approach of the most powerful storm in decades, university professor Dr. Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) and an underfunded team of students prepare the prototype for Dorothy, a ground-breaking tornado data-gathering device conceived by her estranged husband, Bill (Bill Paxton). When Harding tells Bill that Dorothy is ready for testing -- and that their privately funded rival Dr. Jonas Miller (Cary Elwes) has stolen the idea and built his own -- Bill rejoins the team for one last mission.

Sep 02, 2012Very oblivious, I forgot what I watched as soon as the movie ended. The acting is pretty good and characterisation ain't too bad, but I just feel like they brought it upon themselves. Music was touching, story progression is quite slow however; lots of unecessary dramas were happening once in a while. The film lack of pace, it was improved it could have been much more enjoyable.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Dec 02, 2011Twister is not a good movie, but if was fun to watch. The plot was really boring and dumb, but so are most summer blockbusters like this. The cast was okay, i had no complaibnts really, but I guess they did okay. The effects were really cheesy and bad, but if some people liked them thats up to them. This movie was fun to watch if your in to these movies, but overall it bored the hell outta me.Bradley W Super Reviewer
