Review of Atomic Twister

I watched this film with the meteorology club here at Valparaiso University and we had a riot. That riot was either caused by the cookies or the pizza, I'm not sure which. Well actually, I guess the movie was funny too, especially from a meteorology major's view. Meteorologists also take some physics as well and know the ridiculous situation that the Nuclear plant goes through as well. The people who made this movie must have had no idea how either worked, which made the movie hilarious! I tell you, it was great fun tearing this movie apart from a scientific perspective! It was also funny in the perspective of the cheesiness and the scenes that were so stupid that we all couldn't help but laughing. My personal favorite was the scene where the little boy was playing "Twister" with the babysitter. You may think that this game is appropriate for what happens in the movie, but if you watch the kid, he has other reasons for playing twister with her, wink, wink. The acting was poor as well, which caused even more laughs. I just loved how the female lead kept saying with so much fake sincerity that "Stu is Dead!" Poor Carl Lewis...he did alright, but they just had to kill him off, like I'm sure they did with any other ideas that might have made this movie any bit of good.

Overall I would give it a rating of 0 out of 10 because in terms of seriousness, Atomic Twister is the worst movie that I have ever seen. To give it a 1 would have disrespected such masterpieces as Manos, Gigli, Justin to Kelly, and Glitter. If this movie were billed as something like Airplane! this movie might have been the greatest comedy in modern history, but since it wasn't this movie just plain sucks. Badly.
