Twister: Special EditionR1

    Twister SE was released on DVD in Region 1 in 2000. To recap my earlier comments, the image of the R4 SE is slightly sharper (barely noticeable), but the audio specs are inferior, and there is a very slight shimmer (aliasing) at times with the R4 transfer. The issues with graininess, skin-tones, audio-sync, and edge enhancement affect both versions.

    The Region 4 DVD misses out on:

  • DTS 5.1 encoded at 1509Kb/s
  • Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded at 448Kb/s
  • Cast & Crew Biographies
  • One extra trailer

    The Region 1 DVD misses out on:

  • Nothing.

    It's a close call, but I would have to favour the R1, for its superior specs. That 1509Kb/s DTS track creates an enveloping wall of sound that few discs can match, and for me, Twister SE is more of an aural, than visual experience.
