Customer Reviews of Twister (Limited Edition Collector's Set)
Fun, but silly at times. Like Armageddon, Godzilla, and Independence Day this is one of those summertime films with an embarrassingly bad screenplay but great special effects. Some of the things that are just plain stupid about this file are: The actors are shown within a few feet of a tornado yet there hair is barely moving around and their truck sits motionless. The wind is able to blow a house across the road or lift up a semi-truck yet they seem unaffected. The whole premise of the film is that, currently, people only get a 10-minute warning before a tornado is going to strike an area - but the main characters seem to know where the tornadoes are going to be hours ahead of time. Then there is the evil meteorologist (in his fleet of black vans) that " is only it for the money." (I didn't know that there were bad meteorologists and good ones.) Lighted neon signs fly through the air (where are they getting power from??) I could go on and on and on, but you get the idea.
What saves this movie and makes it fun to watch are the special visual effects and sound effects. This is a great movie to watch when you want to turn your brain off after a hard day's work and just have some fun. The chemistry between Hunt and Paxton is pretty good and both actors seem to be trying their best despite the poor quality of the script. I have to give the screenwriters credit for making the Gertz character (the other woman) a likeable person that just gets caught in the middle. The predictable thing to do would have been to make her a.... I won't use the "B" word or Amazon won't print this review.
The quality of the DVD - sound and picture - is very good.
I have probably watched this movie a dozen times and enjoy it each time. Sure it's mindless, but it's fun. Turn on the TV. Turn down the lights. Turn up the volume and enjoy it.
The DTS version rocks the home theater!
This is the first disc I bought since I got the home theater set up and this one you won't believe! Ok, I'll admit the story here is a little weak, but this isn't supposed to be a "Raging Bull" type of character study. This is a very entertaining, state of the arts effects, fun film. The sound from this DTS version is extraordinary. The separation of the 5.1 is incredible. The twister sequences will blow you away. You feel the sound and the fury! The only other disc that compares is the Saving Private Ryan one. For you home theater fanatics, this is your film.. you'll see it, hear it, and feel it. This disc also has some great extras like director commentary and a cool documentary of how it was made. All in all, it's not one of the finest 100 or 200 movies ever made, but you may find yourself watching it over and over for the experience of it! You'll love it! The movie itself is about a 3, but the DVD DTS is about a 5!
the suck zone II
In the movie, the twister destroys a drive-in while The Shining is showing on the screen. One could only imagine that this amounted to a review of The Shining. I don't agree with this review. The Shining is a very good movie.
