Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Night of the Twisters was my first movie ever watched based on a natural weather event that could occur realistically. At the time I first watched this at 7-10 years old, it was an incredible movie. I would literally not stop watching the movie every school night before bed. Now that I am older (25 years old now), I went back through and watched the movie over again a couple of times one night, back almost a month and a half ago. Through watching the film again, I was better able to identify issues. Like how the story line went, it was one that was not set in stone to follow storm chasers and their quest to breakthrough on research. It did contain one storm chaser, and one meteorologists communicating back and forth on the storm patterns. The movie starts off with said storm chaser opening on a country road, when he identifies a spinning funnel cloud in an unusual area that was not susceptible to tornadoes at this time of year. The most intriguing part is watching how they fax things in the SUV of the chaser. Due to the fact today, you get caught faxing in a situation, not just in a car, but something similar to it, people would think you didn't know how to live in today's world of printers, computers, and technology.The cast was very well played, and we get a glimpse of the older clothes worn back in the day of the 1990s, at least they had some sense not to sag their pants all the time, and dressed without all these holes, and other riff-raff. Moving along with the review, the biggest flaw this film had really no sense of the way a tornado looks or moves, however detailing the damage of a tornado 90% on. Yes, this is February 1996 when this film released and not all the best animation or graphics had been invented yet. However, not even about 3 more months down the road in May of 1996, a movie titled, Twister, portrayed the violent spinning funnels of tornadoes, in an almost eye-for-eye shape, sound, and color to properly give the perception of how a tornado may look realistically. Overall, as I have gotten older, Night of the Twisters does not appeal too much to me as it used too, however it is still an awesome classic movie, that I will watch even as I continue to age.FINAL SUMMARY OF NIGHT OF THE TWISTERS 1996 - Overall RATING: 6/10 Storyline/Synopsis: 7.5/10 Graphics and Animations: 4/10 Actors and Actresses: 9/10

Long before Justin Bieber, Canada had unleashed another teen celebrity on the world, Devon Sawa. He was better looking, more talented, and much less successful. While not as well known, during the mid-90s, putting him in any film almost guaranteed a bigger box office, and that was the case with Night of Twisters. This horrible, direct-to-video film, never should have made it to the U.S., but gained worldwide distribution because of it's star. Even twenty years later, the DVD is still considered a collectors item among collectors of teen idol memorabilia, and regularly sells on Amazon and eBay for upwards of $50. That being said, what makes this movie so awful, besides that it's an independent film made in Canada? Even for 1996, the special effects are laughable, this was Canada's response to Twister and not only don't the effects come close to comparison, but the story is just terrible. Obviously the story is going to center around the teen star, who sneaks out with friends to go meet girls. He's punished and has to stay home and watch his baby sister instead of going to the town event at the local high school. It's a boring night, until the town is hit by a series of tornadoes, forcing Sawa, to save the baby, save the girls, save his best friend, and then if there's time, go find his parents. The story is straight out of a kids movie, but the language and some of the devastation is not, so which is it? Is this some weird teen friendly family film or some scary disaster movie? The bottom line a lot of people love Devon Sawa, me included, that's why even today he's still getting work, but when it comes to this film, there is no real story, no real plot, it's as predictable as anything you will ever see, and the special effects make the tornado from the Wizard of Oz look more realistic. I can't believe that twenty years later the DVD costs more than the Godfather and they're still playing this thing on cable, but some things are just inexplicable.

This movie is good for TV. I like it because I'm a HUGE fan of disaster films even though this is a family film. Accuracy on the film from the book is half-and-half They got the characters names right but in the book there was no storm chaser, the the car scene involving the Hatch family running away from the tornado wasn't in the book instead it involved Dan hatch and his friend riding with a police officer on their way to the police station for safety. and in the book Dan and his friend are both 12-years old. Thats all i can think of. Overall this was a good movie even though it could of have been a little more accurate to the book. Did you know the book was based on a true story of a series of tornadoes devastating a small Nebraska town in 1980?

About the baby: Why wasn't big brother assuming he'd be hungry for a bottle or some nourishment or a diaper change? He should have been screaming non-stop after that many hours without care. Definitely stupid to take the baby from a safe place when he didn't need to.And why was the road miraculously clear whenever anyone wanted to drive somewhere? Didn't any uprooted trees fall on the roads and block them?I can't imagine the cops at the roadblock not immediately following after any young person who would crash it, especially when they said it was dangerous to go there.That being said, it was nice to have a movie children could safely watch, for a change.
