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

Twister Blu-ray August 14, 2008
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

Twister August 12, 2008
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.

Tornadic Activity August 1, 2008
The movie Twister is one of my favorite "disaster movies". I have watched it 50 or more times. The special effects are so cool and the acting is really good, especially Helen Hunt, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Jami Gertz. I have owned the regular DVD for some time and because I recently acquired a Blu-ray player and love the great picture and sound it affords, I decided to duplicate this movie and get the Blu-ray version. I have to say that after watching it the first time I can't really tell that much difference in the Blu-ray compared to the standard wide-screen version and was a little disappointed in that. I didn't think the resolution of the picture was as good as the other Blu-rays I have seen. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt that maybe the sound was a little better. As prices of Blu-rays continue to drop I will continue to purchase them in lieu of the standard ones, but right now they are still fairly pricey. BUT if you love Twister and have a Blu-ray player I still recommend you buy the Blu-ray because it is closer to the price of the standard DVD than many current releases and the sound alone is worth that little difference.

HD DVD TWISTER!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! July 19, 2008
I just finished watching TWISTER in HD DVD and man it is one wild ride!! BETTER than going to a Theatre and watching it!! I have seen this movie at the Theatre on release, on VHS tape, DVD, on Dish Network in HD and now finally the BEST of them ALL, HD DVD!! This is a must own for any HD DVD player owner. The 1080p is superb!!! I had both the original DVD and HD DVD playing at the same time, flipping back and forth during the same scenes and its just AMAZING the quality of HD DVD, so much better than standard DVD!!! I got friends that say "dvd is awesome by itself" and I used to say that too, until you watch HD DVD then you wonder why you like regular DVD!! Unbelieable price here at AMAZON.COM, cheapest I've seen anywhere online and havent seen it available in store!! This is a MUST BUY, just like TRANSFORMERS & I AM LEGEND in HD DVD!!
