 Finally,Great Video Transfer for Twister(on Blu-Ray) Oct 26, 2008
Twister is one of my all-time favorite action movies and have watched it more times than I would like to admit.The best transfer on DVD still left alot to be desired.Now,the the transfer on Blu-Ray has been cleaned up and improved dramatically.It's not reference quality,of course,but I give the picture a solid 4 out of 5 for a movie of this age.I can't comment on the new lossless soundtrack because I am unable to decode yet.
Definitely highly recommended even if you have the latest DVD version.

Powerful, totally captivating, worth owning Oct 25, 2008
Twister ranks up in my top movies of all time. When it first came out, the special effects were considered ground breaking and even jaw dropping. Years later the effects are just as incredible, effective and powerful as ever. Various kinds of twisters were created, and they are so believable. Every time I watch this movie, during the twister scenes my heart pounds and my eyes are glued to the screen. It's just so believable and so darn exciting!
I have to disagree with the person who said the story line takes second place to the special effects. Yes, the special effects are totally remarkable, but this movie would be nothing without the great characters and complicated, moving love story. Throw in some first rate actors with tremendous appeal and you've got a winner. This movie holds your attention throughout and entertains on every level.
Bottom line: I highly recommend this movie as a purchase.

 Unless it's remastered, don't be suprised if BR verson on older titles is only kinda better... Oct 11, 2008
People, if it ain't remastered, it's only going to be a moderate improvement, compared to standard def, unless it animation or shot in high def already. You wanna' see spectacular, get Blade Runner special edition in Blue Ray...OMG...now that's something to see and WORTH!!!!! my dollars. I've yet to see anything made more than ten years ago come even close to that title. Twister is one of my all time favs that can be watched at least twice a year. I may get this in BR; but, that's an exception. As far as I'm concerned, the movie industry is only porting most of their products in to BR, without much concern about quality, to get more money in their pocket, knowing full well that the end result could be much...much better if they took the time to remaster each and EVERY title to maximize the end result. For what they are charging we fans, this should be standard practice.
a MUST have!!!! Oct 03, 2008
As my title mention, this movie is a definite must have. I have always been a tornado enthusiast and this is as close to the real thing as you can get.
Where I live, we recently experienced the magnitude of a real twister first hand. Although the twister that swept through here was rated an F2 tornado, the damage was extreme (one can only imagine the devastation of the infamous F5 twister in the movie).

 Good Blu-ray rendition, not great Sep 29, 2008
I purchased the blu-ray disk to replace the standard DVD that I've owned for years because the SD version is awful, videowise. This blu-ray transfer is good, though I would not call it great.
If you are a fan of this movie, it is worth replacing if you own the SD version.
