Quite a good movie the first time you see it, but then it gets boring. Watch this only once if you think youd like it. Its one of those movies where first time rocks, second time drools. Hope this helps.... Full review

Most of the movie looked pretty good, but more than a few images came across as a little blurry and without great delineation. Bill Paxton's work in Twister doesn't actually inspire me to dislike him, but it doesn't help, either. ... Full Review
