Which is good, since Twister remains one of the all-time great demo DVDs for audio. This sucker blasts right out of the starting blocks and rarely lets up at any point. The soundfield seems unbelievably strong and encompassing. I'd be hard pressed to think of any ways they could have improved upon this mix. Thankfully, the quality of the audio also seems very strong.
Music sounds clear and crisp, with good dynamic range.
Best of all, of course, are the effects, which simply overwhelm the viewer. They come across as clean and realistic and never betray the slightest hint of distortion, even during the loudest scenes. First we find a running audio commentary from director Jan De Bont and visual effects supervisor Stefen Fangmeier. It's not a terrifically entertaining or edifying commentary but it works well enough to deserve a listen. The first lasts 13 minutes and 50 seconds, while the second runs eight and a half minutes.
