During the storm sequences, sounds swirl around the entire soundstage. Additionally, while the swirling effect is happening, other sound effects that coincide with the on screen action are dropped in with pinpoint precision. Dialogue reproduction is very clean and manages to remain very intelligible, even during some of the loudest sonic assaults. Bass reproduction is very strong, which give the soundtrack all the punch it requires. A French Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack is also encoded onto the DVD, as is an English DTS soundtrack, which appears to be running at an impressively high bit rate.
Subtitles are available on the DVD in English, French and Spanish.
The interactive menus make use of full motion video, animation and sound to create an enjoyable interface. Through the menus, one can access the standard scene selection and set up features. Director Jan de Bont and special effects supervisor Stefan Fangmeier provide a running audio commentary that fans will find worth listening to. Also included are two featurettes, The Making Of Twister and Anatomy Of The Twister . The former runs less than 15 minutes, while the latter runs less than 10.
