I get the departure from historical accuracy and think that the story isn't made better by the changes, but neither do they particularly matter to the telling of a story.
I like both Eddie Redmayne & Felicity Jones and they didn't disappoint in what is a very dramatic story whilst in the air and a little more pedestrian (!) whilst on the ground.
Visually it was stunning - one has an all-too-real sense of both the beauty and the precariousness of the main characters' situation. It had me feeling quite queasy at times, but this all added to the drama.
Very well worth a couple of hours of my time...

Twister is a fairly old fashioned plot, fleshed out by a capable cast and a lightly poetic and humorous script.
The score and accompanying soundtrack is excellent and the effects are pretty decent - filled out with some impressive heavy lifting (literally!).
Hunt & Paxton's relationship is sometimes a bit cheesy, but Bill's usual plucky delivery helps you sympathise and Hunt is effective at creating sympathy for her character.
Standout performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman as Rusty and Lois Smith as Meg, but generally the whole cast looked like they were having a lot of fun, which is what summer blockbuster is all about.
