A mile-wide 300 miles-per-hour force of total devastation is coming at you: Twister is hitting home. In this adventure swirling with cliffhanging excitement and awesome special effects Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton play scientists pursuing the most destructive weatherfront to sweep through mid-America's Tornado Alley in 50 years. By launching electronic sensors into the funnel the storm chasers hope to obtain enough data to create an improved warning system. But to do so they must intercept the twisters' deadly path. The chase is on!Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/RACE AGAINST TIME UPC: 085391186311 Manufacturer No: 118631

5 stars LOVED IT
I know that some people would go on a tangent about how this truly does not occur.. the waves of tornadoes and such. It is a movie, not a documentary. And as such, I think it is one of my favorites (Jaws and Godfather also rank the top billings iwth me). I enjoyed it, the story, the special effects, the whole thing. I have witnessed 2 tornadoes in my life, and both are truly the work of mother nature. This movie brings that and so much more. Get it, and if you have the chance to get to Universal Studios, go, and ride "twister"... you will love it!


4 stars Silly but fun....
I actually am a stormchaser, and this movie has inspired much laughter. I often joke that the only lines in the movie that make any sense are 'Go to the bathroom now, you may not get a chance on the road." And that is fairly accurate (both about the movie and about one of the greatest challenges in stormchasing). But unlike most Summer action films this one at least tried its best to be realistic. They did use some phrases in hopelessly wrong contexts, and they often made up their own phrases when it moved the dialog along, but then this is Hollywood. What can you expect.

That said, this was a fun film the first time, and we have watched it in the van while chasing many times, mostly for amusement. The effects are very good, and the cast is wonderful. Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of the best actors in a generation and here you get to see an early incarnation of him, and see him seem to actually be having fun. Yeah, get the movie, don't forget the beers. See you in Oklahoma this May.


5 stars Made my son's day!!!
My 5 year old son has fallen in love with tornadoes and asked me for a week to buy Twister at one of our nearby stores. I couldn't find it ANYWHERE but this seller did a FANTASTIC job getting the movie to me quickly! Unfortunately now we have to watch it over and over and over...


5 stars I'm pleased...it came on time, in good condition

Twister is a movie my mom watches a couple times a week. It's one of her favorite movies. She's 88 years old. A great movie. It came on time, in good condition.


5 stars Twister
Probably the best disaster movie made about tornadoes/twisters. The special effects were really exciting if you can overlook the inaccurate scenes enhanced for dramatic effect. It was a good balance between the story and the action. Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton were really good - actually the whole cast was wonderful.
