and the acting is poor, like when they hid in the shelter at the drive through cinema and that tube flys around, then that guy grabs the tube and says ''yeahh i got it'' when theres a massive tornado above them. very stupid
shareWhat about when they're nearby the F5 tornado, and their little car is grounded while that huge truck is being blown around in the air like a feather? Totally ridiculous!
sharelol. those are the things that make this movie hilarious. and bill paxton
shareThe OP is very retarded. VERY retarded! Why cant you people just enjoy a fun, action-packed film? This is the best tornado movie ever made. If you want a bad one, watch Tornado: Nature Unleashed.
I have El Sonoma del Torra de Fiero Syndrome. Be happy you don't. Trust me.
If it's not very realistic its hard for anyone with a mild knowledge of tornadoes to truly enjoy it 100%. Still liked it, but some of the scenes didn't make any sense.
Every tornado in the movie didn't act appropriately, even the first one. How does an F1 or possibly(but not likely) F2 tornado pick up a jeep far into the air and deliver it a mile down the road?
Kind of like this:

Exactly. Its a movie, FFS. If you want reality, watch the Weather Channel

Yep - perhaps one day Hollywood will make a good weather film, but after many attempts (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods) they still haven't gotten it right - apparently they want to inject human interest in the script but it never comes out quite right...
And, in reality storm chasing is like flying - hours of boredom with seconds of stress in between...
While Jo's staff were overdone it was in some ways similar to the real life "geeks" - overall nice people but people who do often live for their work, to the point that most never marry because their work is their life...
I went out with the professional storm chasers once (thunderstorm seeding) and I mean it when I way it was tons of fun, though we did sit in the research trailer for hours waiting for something to form overhead as the resesach aircraft did their job - a good thunderstorm finally did form after we left the trailer and were driving back to the office on a rural road...
Field experiments are pretty complicated, requiring a lot of planning and research grant money - that part of the film was correct, though the vehicles used, well, that you usually don't see - field vehicles are not usually used school buses or old 4-doors but more like the vans seen used by the "bad guy" group...

I hope you guys all paid attention to the recent series of tornadoes that leveled parts of the country so far this year. Yeah alot of the stuff in Twister IS possible.
shareI enjoyed most of it but the last 5-10 minutes is unwatchable after the first viewing.
Main point: A tornado travels horizontally at the speed of the storm, usually 30-40 miles/hour. Umm, sorry, no way our heroes are going to outrun it, go in a weird barn, run to a pump house, belt themselves to a pipe while the twister sits there in the cornfield and pasture waiting for them.
Secondly, an F5 (or EF5) picks frigging trees up out of the ground like we'd pluck a flower. That belt would have held for about 1/10 second before they joined the cow and truck in the big tilt-a-whirl in the sky.
IMO if it'd ended when Dorothy was successfully launched, despite the earlier camp, it would have been a very good movie. Instead I give it a 7/10.
They could have given us a T&A or T or A shot of Helen in the shower too.
How about an A shot of Bill Paxton when he was taking HIS shower? Chicks like a good action flick as much as guys do and a naked Helen Hunt just doesn't do it for most of us.

I wonder if someone trying the belt around the pipe trick would be literally pulled apart by the updraft I doubt you'd really see much of the inside of the monster before you were ripped in half by 300 mph winds

The whole movie full of them. Like seeing an EF1 thru 5 in a 24 hour period and being close to all of them. I hate the last scene though. A tornado does NOT change direction like that. The inflow would NOT allow them to run from it. They would be sucked up immediately. The leather strap scene in the barn. That tornado would have killed them long before that but even if they made it that far they would have been sandblasted by the debris.
I don't think the acting is poor, but that's just my opinion.
Some scenes aren't realistic as with most films, but I still enjoy it. Like the part where the drive through a house and hardly has any effect on the truck.
Or the end where they tie themselves down, able to still breath and not be hit with debris.
Also the part of the tracker trailor hits the truck and hardly as any effect. In real life, it would have totalled the truck and maybe have killed them from the impact.
Movie is still good.
It's a move, unrealistic scenes is a part of the game for the sake of action.
Talking about unrealistic.. Star Wars would have been boring if it should be constrained to what is real! Explosions without sound f.i.
Sometimes you just have to have some willing suspension of disbelief to enjoy a movie.

Maybe not, but they are still quite noisy.. Just look up tornado-vids on Youtube..

Anyone else find it funny when people poke fun at this movie. Like or not, this movie was very entertaining! The acting wasn't bad either.
