Well, I know the DVD wasn't fantastically good looking but sounded pretty good. How much better do you guys expect it to be on Blu-ray?

As good if not better than the theatrical presentation. PQ just above average. Not reference PQ, but the SQ should be exquisite!

if there is one blu-ray I'm looking foward to it would definitely have to be that one, watching that movie on dvd in surround sound is amazing, I can't wait to hear and see the difference on blu

the sound on the dvd was amazing, thats what i always used to use to test out my surround sound

I watched part of it the other day and i hope they clean it up because the DVD have a LOT of dot, scratch and hair..

JaylisJayP · 03-14-2008, 03:32 PM

I really wish this movie didn't have Helen Hunt in it. I liked the movie but she is just worthless to watch onscreen imo. It's a good thing Castaway's best part are without her in them.

DavePS3 · 03-14-2008, 03:33 PM

Sold as far as I'm concerned. We need a good transfer of this baby.

KenThompson · 03-14-2008, 07:40 PM

Hope Warner does a great job on this one. I have sold my dvd copy and would hate to buy if Warner half hearts it. The sound should be great. The pq on the dvd wasn't very good.

Heart&Soul · 03-14-2008, 08:00 PM

This could be a great release if Warner gives it their best attention.

nycomet · 03-14-2008, 08:11 PM

Hopefully it will be mastered to take full advantage of BD's 50 gig capacity. I also hope it was not already mastered at lower specs with HD-DVD distribution in mind. Now that we're all-Blu all the time WB should step up to the plate and hit a home run.

Twister on Blu-ray must get a an F-5 rating!

Driver_King · 03-14-2008, 08:27 PM

Yeah, I agree. The PQ on the DVD wasn't that good. I think the THX remaster on VHS looked better. The SQ was excellent though. Twister was and has always been one of my favorite movies. I'm sure the Blu-ray version will look much better. If you look at Halloween on Blu-ray, you can tell it was beautifully transferred.

Bobby Henderson · 03-14-2008, 08:36 PM

I doubt WB will have separate video encodes for the BD and HD versions of Twister. Both will likely be VC-1 at a low enough bit rate to fit into HD-DVD's limits. Hopefully the BD version will at least have a Dolby TrueHD track or PCM 5.1.

owa · 03-14-2008, 08:37 PM

ID4 was probably the title I wanted the most in hi-def but Twister is not far behind. I'm really hoping that they spent a lot of time making it look/sound the best that it can. I wish it would have been released after the HD DVD deadline though. Probably more of a chance that it would be optimized for blu-ray.

That's if WB proceeds to release the HD-DVD version. Ha!

I really want Twister to blow me away!

Mobe1969 · 03-14-2008, 10:39 PM

Yeah, I'm hoping it looks good too. I was disappointed with the DVD as well. I hope a review comes out in time for me to cancel my order in case it sucks.

Sean4000 · 03-14-2008, 10:44 PM

I searched this site and found this info on twister: Video codec: VC-1

This is not off to a good start. I hope this is not true.

HeavyHitter · 03-15-2008, 03:23 AM

I'll pick this title up if it's done right: TrueHD or PCM. For some reason I don't think the video quality will be great - just pretty good. I'm not sure if the source material of this movie is really going to be sharp/eye candy.

VC-1 isn't bad at all. Look at 3:10 to Yuma...

Who would you prefer, Rosie O'Donnel?
