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

How can anyone not like this masterpiece. The ride at Universal Theme Park in Orlando is just as boss as this incredible rollercoaster ride of an epic film.

I love the movie anyway and I knew what was coming. I still ducked when the twister came. Blu-ray is the only way to see a movie this good

Another great summer movie. Much better on blu ray, both picture & sound. I watched it twice in two days. The twisters look more realistic and scarier. I recommend this movie (blu ray) to anyone.
