Twister (1996)

[AniNate]

Compared to Emmerich's oeuvre, it should win a Nobel Prize.

 

Nah, it's just as bad if not worse. At least with Independence Day Emmerich could get away with the silliness since the aliens are a fictional creation

Uh, no, it barely makes any sense. Not necessarily a movie killer, but this film should not be held up as scientifically accurate on any level.

 

 

The funny fact the film greatly helped the field of studying Twisters.

That's the biggest benefit to high concept action movies, I suppose. They may not be very intelligent themselves, but they can inspire it from their audience

This is still the perfect movie to use to test out your sound system

I really liked it. This and speed were 2 awesome movies from jan de bont. Would rate both A.

both Bill Paxton and PSH helped make this movie as good as it is

One of the dumbest movies with no logic ever made with Spielberg's name on it.. So hokey right down to Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton strapping themselves to some piping at this barn with leather straps and watch the inside of a 500MPH tornado with their legs dangling up in the air as they watch it pass over them like it was no big deal when in reality, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton would've been splattered everywhere with there legs torn off from the vacuum and tossed a mile away.. It was more about FX then logic.. Hell, even the folks at the Weather Channel probably laughed at this shit...

The movie is more than 20 years old and it still holds up beautifully.  The effects are top notch and what a cast!  Phillip Seymour Hoffman hams it up, such a brilliant actor.  Paxton is terrific too.  I watched it last night for the first time in a very long time and it really kind of feels timeless.  

 

9/10
