VHS Movie Reviews of Night of the Twisters
Movie Review: Worse movie I think I've ever seen
Summary: 1 Stars
I have no idea what the people who wrote all these other previews were watching but this is the worse movie I have ever seen . . . well almost. Napoleoan Dynamite was bad, but at least it had funny moments.
This is bad effects, horrible acting and very unrealistic scenes. Complete tornado devestation while not a drop of rain or moisture on the ruins, police cars or even the ground!!. Four tornado's his a town and not a single drop of rain! lol. We didn't even finish the movie, but left the room.
Movie Review: Not Too Bad.
Summary: 4 Stars
I rank this one among the best of the made for cable disaster movies. Granted it's formulaic, but it executes said formula well. Given that it's a TV movie from 1995, the CGI effects are above average as well. There have been over half a dozen TV movies about tornadoes since Night of the Twisters, but this one remains the most engaging of them.
Recommended for genre fans or families looking for a solid movie that's enjoyable for everyone.
Movie Review: Night of the Twisters
Summary: 4 Stars
Good Movie. Had seen it before, but it was even better and suspenseful than earlier viewing. Good family movie and enlightening about tornadoes and their impact on people. Having gone through tornadoes before, this one really brings out things that one can identify with. Good show.Movie Review: Have your remote handy.
Summary: 3 Stars
I can't tell you what the movie is like if you sit through the whole thing because I haven't been able to manage it. But by using the remote to zip past the long, drawn out attempts at character development, I was able to enjoy the disaster part of the movie. The graphics were decent enough and the survival part of the story was entertaining. Movie Review: Based on a book based on actual events
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was a slightly changed version of the Ivy Ruckman book by the same name, a fictionalized account of the real-life disaster that happened 6/3/1980 in Grand Island. The book was very good and well worth reading, but I found some of the storyline in the movie in some ways even better. It developed the characters well and the growth of them & their relationships with each other. The movie was actually made about a decade ago, so the special effects are more typical of that time but no less good. As a fellow Nebraskan who remembers that night, I found most of the weather-related detail accurate. Likewise, I found a few changes in miscellaneous details that only a Nebraskan would catch... check out the license plates, for example... worth the ticket price right there, if you ask me. It was a very reasonable and even good adaptation from an existing book, which is a feat in and of itself.
