Directed by Jan de Bont fresh from his success of Speed, twister is the story of a group of storm chasers who chase Tornados in a effort to get a device called Dorothy up into the funnel to measure the effects of a Tornado.

Bill (Bill Paxton) is visiting his estranged wife Jo (Helen Hunt) in order to finalize their divorce. Jo is still in love with Bill and quite conveniently, Jo has brought along Dorothy who is Bill's invention.

After sucking Bill in to spending a day with her, the story really begins as the wonderful special effects kick in.

Throw into the story an ex colleague who has stolen Bills invention and is chasing storms for the money, and a really bad love triangle you could be forgiven that you would think this is quite a weak story. At times it is, but is redeemed by sensational effects and pace that stops you thinking about the plot at all.

This transfer is razor sharp throughout and there is not any hint of softness.

Colors were perfect throughout and really held up in a way that only DVD can. It certainly shows the VHS version up, although that isn't hard.

There were no MPEG or film artifacts visible at all.

Twister is framed at 2:35:1 and is 16:9 enhanced.

This is a single-sided, dual layer disc. The layer change occurs at 48:30.
