Wie jedesmal fängt es ganz harmlos an. Sanfte Frühlingsbrisen wehen über das Land. Wolkengebilde schweben durch das endlose Blau. Doch plötzlich verwandelt sich das Blau in ein giftiges, zorniges, spannungsgeladenes Grün. Erst hörst du ihn, dann spürst du ihn. Twister, der gewaltigste Sturm der letzten 50 Jahre, rast auf dich zu. Das ist der Moment, auf den die Wissenschaftler Jo und Bill gewartet haben. Ihr Ziel ist es, elektronische Sensoren in das Zentrum des Tornados zu schleusen, um auf diese Weise erstmals Meßwerte für ein zuverlässiges Frühwarn-System zu gewinnen. Doch Auge in Auge mit dem übermächtigen Wirbelsturm wird die wissenschaftliche Mission zum Wettlauf mit der Zeit.
- Richardvor 4 TagenTwister is peak 90s disaster cinema, loud, chaotic, scientifically questionable and absolutely perfect for the big screen. I saw it in the cinema when it came out and honestly, that’s the ideal way to experience it. The sound system practically tried to blow you out of your seat every time a tornado showed up, which was often, because the movie has the subtlety of a flying cow. Directed by our very own Jan de Bont, Twister has that unmistakable “Dutch guy given a Hollywood budget” energy. Everything is fast, everything is loud and everything is filmed like the camera operator was hanging off the side of a truck going 80 km/h. And it works. The movie has a kinetic, frantic feel that makes even the dumbest moments entertaining. The plot is classic disaster movie simplicity: storm chasers trying to launch a scientific device into tornadoes while dealing with personal drama, rival teams and the fact that nature hates them. Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton carry the film with a mix of charm and “we’re too tired to be doing this” energy that fits perfectly with the constant chaos around them. The tornado effects were groundbreaking at the time and seeing them in the cinema felt like watching the weather try to murder you in Dolby Surround. The flying debris, the exploding barns, the trucks being thrown into the sky, it was all part of that glorious 90s disaster wave where Hollywood kept trying to outdo itself. Dante’s Peak, Volcano, Independence Day, Armageddon, it was a golden era of cinematic destruction just like back in the 70s. Twister stands out because it’s fun. It doesn’t pretend to be deep, it doesn’t try to be realistic and it doesn’t waste time. It’s just two hours of tornadoes chasing people who keep driving directly into them and somehow, it’s great. A loud, wild, wonderfully ridiculous disaster classic and a proud moment where a Dutch director showed Hollywood how to make weather look terrifying.
- Zokkiie8. Juni 2026This is one of those movies that's just easy to watch. It has a great sense of momentum, rarely sits still for long, and always feels like it's building toward the next big moment. There's a certain charm to the whole thing that a lot of modern blockbusters seem to be missing, and the practical effects help give everything a little extra weight. It's also pretty thin in places. The story is simple, some of the dialogue is downright corny, and you're not exactly watching it for deep character development. But Helen Hunt does a lot to keep things grounded, and Philip Seymour Hoffman brings a ton of personality whenever he shows up. It may not be the most memorable movie ever made, but it's a fun ride while it lasts.
- Marc Reasoner25. Januar 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.
- Kevin Ward1. Juli 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.
- MR_BigTime29. Januar 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.
