‘Twister’ is a wild ride, both literally and figuratively. The film captures the raw intensity of storm chasing with an impressive blend of practical effects and CGI. Jan de Bont's direction gives it a frantic pace, which matches the relentless tornadoes tearing through the Oklahoma landscape. Helen Hunt is pretty compelling as Dr. Jo Harding, driven and a bit obsessed, while Bill Paxton brings a nice balance as her estranged husband. The storm scenes are where it really shines—especially that infamous cow flying through the air. The themes of passion, danger, and the fight for survival are pretty strong too. Plus, it’s fun to see how they attempt to innovate storm warning systems, even if it's a bit far-fetched at times.
Released May 10, 1996, by Warner Bros.Shot on location in Oklahoma for authenticity.Features groundbreaking practical effects and CGI.Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt lead a strong ensemble cast.
