Review: 'Twister' is lame storm chaser flick


Twister   PG 13         
            Jan de Bont (Speed 2) returns to direct this action thriller trying to be like Spielberg, only he's not. It's just ridiculous. They can't hide under a rickety bridge and survive an F4 tornado, among other things. Sitting visuals and effects make for entertaining action, but the story of storm chasers going right into the eye of powerful storms is a little too much. The truck would have been tossed upside down into a tree. Well, the silly science withstanding, the film is somewhat entertaining. Just don't take is seriously at all. 'Real storm chasers aren't dumb enough to sit under an F5 tornado and film it. They'd be dead.' (Guest, Jim Buffkin).
