Great Action
This is a great movie. If you like neatural disaster action movies, you should def. watch this! Not that fond of Helen Hunt, but the actual movie gets over the sheer horrid that she is.

Twirls as fast as Stevie Nicks
All of us know what a tornado(twister) does: it spins round and around as fast as singer/songwriter, Stevie Nicks! So it is only appropriate she composed a tune for the soundtrack of this great movie!Helen Hunt and Bill Paxon lead an all star cast about a married couple to be divorced, only their love for "storm chasing" tornados brings them back together.The love bit fits perfectly in this heart pounding action film.The Tornados look amazingly real. Top notch special effects. (The scene with the cow you'll never forget)The film keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire film, from the very start of the film.This film is a much deserved box office blockbuster, and even though this film is fantastic and grossed millions of dollars, thankfully, no sequals were made, as I think some films should stand on there own.In the summer of 1996, this was my fave flick! Never boring, always exciting, with a theme(tornados) not previously used for a "summer blockbuster" intended flick.And the icing on the cake?The great soundtrack(Van Halen, Rusted root, Goo Goo Dolls) which is highlighted by the song, "Twisted," written for this movie by rock legend, Ms. Stevie Nicks, and performed by Stevie Nicks her ex lover(and re-united Fleetwood Mac member), Mr. Lindsey Buckingham!!WOW! A GREAT movie and STEVIE NICKS as well!Like I said, this movie is a TWIRLING, rockin' good time!

My point of view.
Reading some of the reviews about this movie, I've noted that a lot of people believe that the only good part of the movie was the special effects, and many believed that the plot was lacking. I believe that the special effects were great, but they were only an extra goody, and not the best part of the package.

In the beginning of Twister, you are taken back several years to the late sixties in the eastern part of the United States. A father rushes through his country home, and his wife follows his lead with their daughter, Joe, with them. They hide in a backyard storm cellar, but as the storm begins to pick up, they discover that the family dog is not inside. The father quickly ushers the dog inside, and shortly after he recloses the door, the twister comes. The father gets sucked into the tornado, holding the door, while the mother and daughter are still safe inside the cellar.

After this, the movie goes to the present, and a new plot begins. Joe's husband catches up with the storm chasers-also, his former work companions-to have his wife sign the divorce papers so he could get married to his new fiance, who he brings along. But when trying to get Joe to sign the papers, a tornado is found nearby, and the storm chasers follow it to send up their newest project-Dorothy. Dorothy is a machine that both Joe and her husband designed, and when it comes in contact with a twister, it will send up many sensors, enabling the storm chasers to get readings on the tornado. Their theory is if they can get readings on tornados, and learn about them, they will be able to create better tornado warnings, allowing people to get to safety more quickly before a tornado hits.

Personally, I really liked this movie. When I rented it awhile back, I would just watch it over and over. The plot is rather likeable, and the characters are interesting and unique. I recommend this movie to the people reading this, not only for the special effects, but for the whole package.
