Twister Movie 2

Twister Movie 2
For the second time:

Twister Movie 2 is still fun and entertaining the second time around.It is almost more fun watching the reaction of the people in the audience. You can tell those who have not seen the movie.
Large masses of people were at this one and the money they raked in is disgusting, much like Jan De Bonts other action fest, Speed. Did it deserve it? This is a great popcorn action flick and an outstanding disc to boot. Bill Paxton stars as a storm chaser along with his estranged wife played by Helen Hunt. Their goal is to get a look inside a tornado with the newly developed machine called "Dorothy." It sends up hundreds of tiny little receptors that capture all the data about the twister and send it back to their computers. Of course, there is a rival group with better equipment out to do the same thing. It's an intense ride that has them not only battling the elements, but trying to save their jobs as well. This is not a movie you should expect to go into expecting a deep plot. The romantic storyline is really unnecessary and only serves to give a little bit of back-story to the characters, setting it up for the disaster to come. This one is all about insane action and spectacular effects that still hold up. Some of the sequences are just ridiculous, but as far as brain-dead action movies go, this is a classic.
Wide screen is the best for twister movie. This is a print clear of any scratches and only minor grain. The explosions feature brilliant hues of orange and red, crystal clear like no other disc has ever matched. The CG effects are a bit more obvious thanks to the clarity, but that's certainly not a flaw of the picture. Any great action movie needs a great soundtrack and Twister Movie 2 delivers...incredibly. You'll have the option of Dolby 5.1 or a much more powerful DTS track. The bass provided is insane and with all the debris flying around, rest assured you can track it all with your ears. Just wait until you reach the infamous cow segment for the perfect example of why this is a perfect demo disc for a home theater. Extras are sparse but serviceable. First up is a commentary by Jan De Bont and the special effects supervisor. 2 documentaries are included, one an HBO First look cheesy making of that runs about 12 minutes. The second one runs about 10 minutes and looks at how the storm where brought to life (with computers...can you believe it?). Also tossed on are a Van Halen music video and the trailer. I'm sure more extras where excised in favor of the DTS track.
