      It's a bit fake while shocked

      In fact, the special effects of the whole film are still very good. After all, it was in 1996. The same kind of science fiction disaster movie is still a high-level work, but the more and more fake it is seen later, every time the two pig's feet are close to the tornado, they are not blown. I got up, very close, and indeed very close. The tractors, trucks, and tankers were blown up when they were very close. Especially in the end, they were not blown away when they experienced the F5...

      tornado

      Personal use of non-film critics,

      from music to the extreme excitement of the team members, to create a fast-paced film. The
      highest tornado is the F5

      Good disaster movie

      In 1996, the action disaster adventure movie " Tornado | Twister "

      Although I don’t remember what the first disaster blockbuster I watched was, it’s definitely not this.

      This movie is quite early, but I only saw it now. The special effects are pretty good from the point of view of 1996, and they won't look so unnatural in 2017, but the props (the detector) feel like copycats and not exquisite.

      The special effects of the...

      Huge shock

      When I watched this movie, I was sitting in the cinema. I was surrounded by classmates who went to class together on weekdays. In the field, there were teachers and students of the whole school who went to class together every day. I remember that since that time, there has been no unified school to go to the movies. Yes, whether it’s high school or junior high school, of course. The occasional red movie is still required to go, but the touch is not so much. The
      movie tells a...

      Thinking of Natural Disaster

      This is a work more than ten years ago. It is said that this film is the first work of "pure picture philosophy" in modern movies. Although it has been a long time from the perspective of time, it is different from some disaster movies similar to aliens, geocentric crises, and super earthquakes in that tornadoes are easy to occur in the real world. Although the intensity may not be as good as those mentioned in the film, there is no denying the authenticity of its existence. This is...

      I watched it when I was a kid. It's one of the most memorable scenes I've seen in a few movies when I was a kid. It's amazing to tie yourself to a water pipe and go through a tornado at the...

      A disaster movie I watched when I was a child. At that time, I could never forget the cow that was blown up by the tornado. After more than ten years, I watched this movie by accident. The flying cow is gone, but the love that sees the truth in...

    Evaluation action

    The film reflects the threat of the terrifying natural forces to human society, making it have a high-intensity shock and frightening effect, which is undoubtedly easier to bring in box office revenue. In the film, the car animals flying in the sky, like broken wood shingles under the rain, make people feel the strong willpower of humans to fight against nature; what is more attractive is that what humans are fighting against this time...
