2.5 on a HD review would BE DVD quality...

I'm waiting for my blu from Warner Bros. and I hope it comes soon! Great popcorn flick movie and it dosen't hurt also that I know Mark Mancina (the movie's music score)

it makes you wonder why Warner just doesnt do this kind of audio quality on all of their movies

I will have to watch the movie in the morning, because it is so loud it shakes the walls, and my neighbors will complain.

I mean come on, you have to listen to Twister loud, to not would defeat the whole purpose of the movie.

For $19.99 and perhaps cheaper if you shop. A NO BRAINER!!

Really enjoyed this on BD.

Universal was scheduled to release Twister here on May/15/2008. I hope that they release a non-filtered transfer on Blu-ray with DTS-HD MA

soon.

HoosierRampage · 05-07-2008, 02:25 PM

watched my blu-ray copy this morning and was very impressed. it was a great upgrade from the standard def. print. i can't wait to enjoy all the new special features.

good to hear, every professional review I've read said it's a better picture than the DVD. I think my old DVD wasn't even anamorphic...

Bought for $18.00 from Amazon Gold Box.

No, you can not.

If someone were to give me Twister for free, I would immediately trade it in for a much better movie.

Xerious · 05-07-2008, 03:15 PM

I looked on Amazon.jp and didn't see a listing for Twister.

You know Mark Mancina?! Thats cool...my favorite score of all time is the Bad Boys theme, which he composed.

Sky_Captain · 05-07-2008, 04:15 PM

Twister's another reason why Speed was a fluke on Jan De Bont's directing resume.

Whats wrong with a 3, or 2.55, or even a 2.51?

Heh, good call.

Anyway, since I wanted to verify a few things, ended up watching part of the DVD again last night as well. So, I watched the blu-ray twice and a good portion of the DVD once. I really can't see anyone being disappointed with the upgrade. While I didn't think the upscaled DVD was as bad as some have said, the blu-ray still has signficantly better PQ & SQ. It became much more obvious watching it back to back like that.
