    Like the previous poster, Dante's Inferno only with a twister and worse acting and actors

    OK. I have to admit I did not sit there and suffer through the whole thing like my wife did, but, the amount I did see was bad enough. The fake fire, the (what appeared to be nuclear power plant) in Fort Worth. This movie was just lousy. I don't know where they got the palm trees. I've never seen them here. Also at the tail end (SPOILER ALERT) the main character and his family swimming (in December) in their unheated outdoor pool and running around in bikinis and bathing suits in north Texas. Excuse me. It's never warm enough in December to run around like that and have a cook-out. Anyway if you like B-grade movies with lousy acting etc. go for it.

    Meteorologist: "Pure Adulterated Hilarity"

    As a Broadcast Meteorologist, it is my duty to watch any weather disaster movie and give it an honest chance. This was by far the most hysterical disaster film I have ever seen and my sides are killing me. Not even "Sharknado 2" comes close. The scripting was so erroneously written that it is pure comedy for anyone with any meteorological or broadcast TV experience. At the risk of giving them all aneurysms, I highly recommended it to all my professional colleagues. Won't complain about the special effects since I know it was low budget but it added to the comedy. Thank you for this movie.

    I loved it ironically

    I don't understand the low ratings... come on! It's an adventure for the whole family, with (bad CGI) tornadoes, a father and a daughter on the road and a mild disaster scenario!

    You don't watch a movie like this expecting a masterpiece, you watch it to enjoy a hour and something of easy fun.

    Horrible movie

    Where to start? A guy holds the door shut with a piece of rope while the tornado roars outside.lol Cars are being lifted into the air but the storage shed they are in suffers no damage at all. Then heres the real kicker-as the opening title comes across the screen in big 3d like the word christmas is spelled CHRISTSAM TWISTER.LOL I KID YOU NOT they couldnt even get the correct spelling on screen.

    Amazingly Awful!

    So Awful! I don't understand why movies like this are even made,unless it is for comical relief! HORRIBLE Acting, terrible storyline, and obvious flaws that a toddler could recognize. A News station in Texas,does not want to issue a tornado warning after 3 tornadoes already hit because they don't want to cause an uproar? The tornado hits a mall and there is damage inside from what would look like an explosion but yet all walls/windows are in tact and all cars are perfectly parked outside. Nobody in Texas ever recognizes the weather patterns of a tornado or sees the Twister heading right at them until its about 30 feet in front of them. And why is the basement a total disaster zone but yet not a single building is ever destroyed when the F6 tornado runs right through it? The only reason I gave it two stars is because I laughed my butt off at how bad it was! I would have thought I was watching a Scary Movie Spoof if the actors weren't trying so hard to be serious.
