Amazon.com:
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

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Great movie - Horiable Blu-ray
Twister was one of my favorite movies until I bought on blu-ray. Now it is hard to watch because of how fake the sound and picture are.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Day of Tornados
“Twister” is a film that I repeatedly enjoy. I recently got a DVD to replace my videocassette. Jan de Bont who became a star director with “Speed” & then faded with “Speed 2″ & “The Haunting” does an excellent job piloting this project. The film was nominated for Oscars for Best Sound & Best Visual Effects. Bill Paxton who was creepy in Frailty plays Bill Harding who is trying to get his ex-wife to sign divorce papers. Paxton may not have great depth; but in a film which hinges on visual effects, … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally,Great Video Transfer for Twister(on Blu-Ray)
Twister is one of my all-time favorite action movies and have watched it more times than I would like to admit.The best transfer on DVD still left alot to be desired.Now,the the transfer on Blu-Ray has been cleaned up and improved dramatically.It’s not reference quality,of course,but I give the picture a solid 4 out of 5 for a movie of this age.I can’t comment on the new lossless soundtrack because I am unable to decode yet.

Definitely highly recommended even if you have the latest DVD version.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Powerful, totally captivating, worth owning
Twister ranks up in my top movies of all time. When it first came out, the special effects were considered ground breaking and even jaw dropping. Years later the effects are just as incredible, effective and powerful as ever. Various kinds of twisters were created, and they are so believable. Every time I watch this movie, during the twister scenes my heart pounds and my eyes are glued to the screen. It’s just so believable and so darn exciting!

I have to disagree with the person who said the … Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Unless it’s remastered, don’t be suprised if BR verson on older titles is only kinda better…
People, if it ain’t remastered, it’s only going to be a moderate improvement, compared to standard def, unless it animation or shot in high def already. You wanna’ see spectacular, get Blade Runner special edition in Blue Ray…OMG…now that’s something to see and WORTH!!!!! my dollars. I’ve yet to see anything made more than ten years ago come even close to that title. Twister is one of my all time favs that can be watched at least twice a year. I may get this in BR; but, that’s an exception. As far as I’m … Read More
