DVD Reviews of Night of the Twisters

DVD Review: "It's at least a 5 on the Fujita scale"
Summary: 5 Stars

That's one of our favorite lines from this movie. LOL!!! If you are looking for a realistic, weather-catastrophe-type of movie, and are very picky about details being accurate, this is not the movie for you. "Twister" is better in that respect (but only a LITTLE). BUT, if you are a science-nerdy-type of person who greatly enjoys picking out all the things that are "wrong" with a movie, and finds it quite humorous, then this is the movie for you! My husband and I are major weather buffs (he was a professional meteorologist, and I'm an amateur hobbyist/trained spotter), and this is our favorite "funny" movie. There are SOOO many peculiarities and inconsistencies in this movie that I could write about; but it's much more fun to watch the movie and find them yourself. We've seen it maybe 30 times or more; and we're still finding things in this movie that are just "off" that we hadn't noticed before. Yep, this is definitely one of our most favoritest movies. However, kids who are scared of tornadoes may be frightened of this movie, because they most likely will not understand WHY this movie is so fake. In my mind, no movie tornado will ever compare to the terrifyingly realistic twister on "The Wizard of Oz," and this movie certainly doesn't even come close. But its entertainment value is worth every penny spent on it. ;-)

DVD Review: Liked Twister better, but this movie is still a decent one
Summary: 3 Stars

This review is on the tv-movie "Night of the Twisters" I saw on TV awhile ago. It's not a bad movie and has a good story plot based in fictional Nebraska town of Blainsworth sometime in the early fall. Some parts of the movie really were quite impressive and most of their special effects [the tornadoes itself] were from fairly realistic to downright realistic. I guess my favorite part of the movie was near the end when they were being chased by the tornado. As I said before, this movie has a good story plot to it and was good enough to keep me glued to my couch for the entire movie.
I have seen Twister many times and Night of the Twisters a few times and a few other tornado-based movies and overall I prefer Twister, but Night of the Twister is still a pretty darn good movie to watch!

DVD Review: Book V. Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

My fifth grade students were really surprised at the differences between the book and the movie. Good comparison/discussion activity.

DVD Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I remember watching Night of the Twisters when I was a kid with my mom we would watch it every time it would come on tv
this movie has some scary parts for young children but it does show them what happens with tornados and what they do

I would definatly recommend this movie as it is one of my all time favorites.

DVD Review: Night of the Twisters
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is one of my personal favorites, since I grew up with Devon Sawa as being one of my favorite actors. If you can look beyond the cheesy acting and the horrible special effects, you are bound to fall in love with this movie as well.

The setting takes place in Blainsworth, NE during a brisk fall day. A teenage boy is left home alone with his baby brother, and his best friend, when disaster strikes. This movie is about reuniting a family torn apart by a natural disaster, and overcoming obstacles along the way.

Description of Night of the Twisters

05-51489 Night Of The Twister The people of sleepy Blainsworth, Nebraska, have no idea of the deadly, unpredictable storms heading toward them-rogue tornadoes that will change their lives forever. There are already storms brewing between young Danny Hatch (Devon Sawa) and his father, Jack (John Schneider), a former football star who is disappointed in his irresponsible son. Danny is home alone, babysitting his baby brother when the monster twisters suddenly whirl through the unsuspecting town! Now, Danny must begin a long struggle to survive the night and rescue his family... through downed electrical wires, broken gas lines, and a heart stopping final escape from the twisters' fury! Based on actual events and packed with terrifying tornado footage and special effects, this gripping film is both a thrilling look at nature's deadliest force and a testament to one family's struggle to survive against the odds. Approximately 91 Minutes Color
