Default CAN'T wait for a review on Twister!

I have that movie on SD but will NOT buy it unless it gets a 4.5 in Video and Audio. Has anyone seen any reviews yet?

JasonR, Please take down the DVD Authority link until the reviewer fixes the audio track mistake he made on the review. I have emailed them twice letting them know that Twister has a DTHD track not PCM.

It is a mistake, it happens. LPCM = DTHD, so the sound review should be accurate. As far as the picture review, it has nothing to do with this. The OP knows, I don't see a need in deleting the link.

I was on the fence but will be picking this up on Tuesday as long as I can get Best Buy to price match Target.com's $18.95 price tag.

This site is not as good as the one we are on now. However, they usally have nothing great to say as you can see with their other reviews but they give this one a great review.

The problem is. Some review like the Waxy DNR Look, look like Football HD. While it's a movie is grain should be there. Most of the time DNR remove detail. Anyway i don't have it so... can't say..

I don't really use reviews to determine what I purchase but I do like reading them and will reference them. In this case, Twister is one of my favorite movies and one that I've been looking forward to having in hi-def. So, I'm getting it no matter what. The reviews have all said what I was hoping for most though, that it has great SQ.

Now that the bluray movie has been released. Has anyone seen Twister on an XBR4 Sony? I saw the movie playing at Fry's, and it makes the special effects look like a joke!
