Fairly entertaining film, TWISTER is a kind of disaster, adventure thriller but hard to describe exactly.. it's basically about a tornado or tornadoes and made in 1996 and stars Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. There's a few parts in the movieFairly entertaining film, TWISTER is a kind of disaster, adventure thriller but hard to describe exactly.. it's basically about a tornado or tornadoes and made in 1996 and stars Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. There's a few parts in the movie when we see people watching a screening of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining before the tornado hits. We see cows and vehicles being swept away because of the tornado, flying through the air are various objects due to the tornado which looks laughably bad.

Finally, the use of a tornado as a monster like Jason or Michael Myers does not help their cause at all. A tornado is not some serial killer trying to murder people, it is a product of nature that has no complicity to act sadistically. All together, these aspects made Twister nearly unbearable, and only the acting (which, as I said, is not bad) kept me able to watch this movie to its conclusion.… Expand

I don't like disaster movies. It's hard for me to find such a good one too. Twister tried and it really tried to interest me, but it failed. You might love it, but not me.
