- Marc ReasonerJanuary 25, 2025"Twister" is a classic disaster movie that delivers thrilling action and impressive special effects. The film follows a team of storm chasers as they race against a deadly tornado outbreak, showcasing the power and unpredictability of nature. While the science might not be entirely accurate, the intense visuals and compelling performances, particularly from Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, make it an exhilarating cinematic experience. If you enjoy high-stakes action and a good dose of adrenaline, "Twister" is definitely worth a watch.
- MR_BigTimeJanuary 29, 2026Twister is what happens when you take all the right factors to form a perfect albeit short-lived storm, mix them together, and just watch it go. With a plot that can be terrifying, electrifying, hilarious, and touching all at once, a hot cast of talent, special effects that live up even to today's standards ( 30 years later ), and a magnificent crew along with flawless direction, this movie had it and still has got it all.... period.
- Angelica GomezMay 27, 2025This movie is amazing!!
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025The cast is so good. RIP Bill Paxton and PSH. Had been trying to get my kids to watch this for weeks, but none of them seemed interested in the slightest and were very skeptical after the watching the trailer following it up with their usual “What year was it made?” question because they know it never fails to make me feel very old. As I expected, they enjoyed it. It’s a brilliantly paced actioner that really is kind of an overlooked blockbuster from the past.
- Vipe 386December 29, 2025Literally my favorite movie Ive seen 100s of times and will watch it a 100 more.
- KennyApril 6, 2025such a great movie
- DdoughnutMay 23, 2025How do they film something like this? It was excellent, I'm just really curious
- mickerdooJuly 15, 2025Strong cast and love triangle save this natural disaster flick. CGI didn't age incredibly. And there are definitely some corny moments.
- TomVaderJuly 4, 2025Possibly the greatest bad movie ever made.
- Katrice SinclairDecember 4, 2025LOVE IT
- josephalloccojr858September 10, 2025Wasn't bad for it's time but has a good soundtrack
- adecariaJune 16, 2025Bill Paxton is talented, but his greatest talent might be always going someplace where he shouldn't go. He walks straight into the OK Corral and caught a bullet in Tombstone. He struts into East St. Louis and catches a few more there during Tresspass. But seriously, Bill... why go into a tornado? You got lucky this time, and absolutely deserved to die. Which is all to say that this movie was just a little too unrealistic and campy (we got cows?) for me to seriously be afraid of the true star of the show: the EF5 tornado that's basically treated as a horror movie villain. But hey, it's still that classic summertime thrill ride that made 16-year-old me ride out with my buddy Justin chasing a local thunderstorm the day we saw it in the theater.
