Twister is a special effects extravaganza! At the theater, which the sound of wind all around you and a giant, dark tornado cropping up in front, Twister is astounding. Unfortunately, Warner Brothers screwed up big time on the rest of the movie. Acting was horrible, there was no plot (how could there be?), and in the beginning, it didn't even appear as if their voices matched up with their lips. Also, the movie really dies out in the middle and the whole movie is pretty boring on video. Still, Twister rocks if you accept it for what it is: a special effects monster!
