Summary: Twister BD
Comment: Love the power of nature...from a distance This movie does a fairly good job of protraying the freightening qualities of tornados, but the technology used to create the special effects in this movie is getting a little long in the tooth. Still, I think it's the best tornado movie to date.....but do we really need one? Too bad the technology doesn't exist to more accurately predict the path of a tornado. I can remember, growing up in Kansas, how we all piled into the family car to escape what we knew was certain death, only to wonder which way to go.
BD music is very good and exceedingly ominus when played in a decent home theater.

Summary: Lets do the twist
Comment: This movie has been around for years but only when it came out on Blu-ray did it peak my interest. Twister is a great mix of action, comedy, suspense, and just straight up corny-ness. Its the kind of corny that you can't turn away from for some reason. Almost like it was done that way on purpose. The tornado scenes are fantastic! The audio just begs to be played loud, and the picture just like most every blu-ray, is mind blowing. To sum this up quickly because I must get going, twister on blu-ray is a recommended addition to your blu-ray library. If you watched it on DVD or even on VHS way back in the day, then I suggest you revisit twister on blu-ray, and get twisted!

Editorial Reviews:

Twister was a mega-million-dollar blockbuster--helmed by a director (Dutchman Jan de Bont) hot off another scorcher hit (Speed)--that flaunted state-of-the-art digital effects and featured a popular leading actress (Helen Hunt) who would win an Academy Award for her next film (As Good As It Gets). But ask anybody who's seen it and they'll tell you who the real star of Twister is: the cow. Not to give anything away, but the cow is one of those inspired little touches (like, say, Bronson Pinchot's career-making cameo in Beverly Hills Cop) that adds a touch of personality to a gigantic Hollywood production. The story is blown out the window after an impressive prologue in which Hunt's character, as a little girl, witnesses her daddy being sucked into a tornado. Basically, Hunt and Bill Paxton are thrill-seeking meteorologists chasing twisters in order to study them (and help warn people of them, of course) with a new technology they've developed. If you thought the Kansas tornado in The Wizard of Oz was every bit as scary as the Wicked Witch of the West, then this may be the movie for you. --Jim Emerson
