'Twister' - High-Def Digest Review

[Attebery]

Kenneth's review of 'Twister' is up. He says the film still has its
script issues, but fans will be pleased to know that this Blu-ray
release makes the standard DVD irrelevant. It features an
above-average video transfer, a powerful Dolby TrueHD audio track, and
a generous collection of supplements. Worth a look.

I figured the audio would be high on the chart and the video would be in the middle. Definetly a buy for me.

Man I need a true high def receiver. I think this summer I will buy a Yamaha v663 or Onkyo 605 (both so hard to find in Canada at a reasonable price) so I can enjoy the awesome sound of Twister. I prolly pick this up after I get a new receiver so I can blow the roof off my house.

Wow, is anyone else disappointed by this???

Halfwasted, the cheapest I've seen the Onkyo 605 is at NCIX.com and it was $700+ ....

What are you disappointed in?

I was expecting the video to be a 4 & the audio a 5.

It's a 10 year old film that I think will look great in hidef. I never expected it to look like 1 of the top tier titles that just came out in the last year.

I'm sure it will look & sound great.

Mine is on the way from Amazon. It was a blind buy for me.

Exactly what I expected.

Agreed, but its one of those "check brain at the door" films that end up in our collections sometimes. Even though I try to avoid having too many of these types of films, sometimes you have to bite since its a crowd pleaser. Amazons GREAT pricing takes a lot of the "bite" away too.

So, I bought it knowing full well that its completely silly and over the top..... like 90% of all the movies out there.

I'm curious to rent for the TrueHD but was never a fan of the film.

[Crypter]

Yea, the movie itself is just bleh......but the reason to buy this movie is for the sound track. When that Twister rips through your living room you will duck for cover!

I actually enjoyed the movie when it was in theaters, and my copy was shipped yesterday from Amazon.

I was hoping for a higher PQ but I guess it is what it is. I'm glad the audio is great though.

Another superb review by Ken. I am not sure if I will be getting this or not but I will give it a rent for sure.

[ben1080p]

Movie is boring IMO.

Thanks for the review!!

My copy is on the way to me now.
