[@bloodydominations992]

As someone who lives in tornado alley, the sky does go green but it’s a dark menacing green. The shades on the slipcover look more accurate than the scene you mentioned. I really enjoyed the movie though, the new sound mix really immerses you in the storms.

[@jpscientist23]

Storm chaser here to explain the green. “Greenage” is a real thing, but it doesn’t mean Tornadoes are imminent. It is attributed to supercell storms but is caused by refractions of light in water drops and hail suspended in the mesocyclone (updraft). The greenage shown in the movie is not accurate whatsoever but is still pretty cool to see. The craziest green I have seen in a storm was actually one becoming outflow dominant (reducing tornado chance) and more of a hailer. Obviously as a chaser Twister is an easy top 10 and what got me into weather, just thought I would mention this to help people understand it a little bit better.

[@jollygoodfellow3957]

Ok so in a sense, more like the first Matrix remastered rather than like the second and third Matrix movies.

I became a cinephile thanks to this movie, I don't know how many times I skipped high school to secretly go to the movies to see it, I was obsessed. 😅

It’s one of the best 4K transfers of late. The green issue has been way over exaggerated, it’s basically two shots De Bont said he couldn’t accomplish when the film was released. Any 4K transfer de Bont works on, Speed, Flatliners, The Haunting, they’re incredible.

[@ZEROGRAVITY80]

You are exactly like I was. I wanted to be a Storm chaser after seeing this movie and I live in Kentucky. Twister has my record of most times seeing a movie in the theater at 8 times. I love everything about this movie, it holds a special place in my heart that I'll never forget.

I remember being in a storm in 2017, it was extremely green and the horizon was pitch black. It was the darkest I've seen the sky.

I whole heartedly believe that if you didn't grow up in the 90's you won't appreciate this films as much.... God this brings back such great memories. Kind of makes me emotional because I remember renting this with my dad all the time and we had so much fun with it!

[@jjchmiel78]

Yeah! Thank You Gruv for getting me my copy early. I watched and enjoyed. To brag a little but more to the point of saying I have a capable system. Mine is 7.3.4 setup. The 11 speakers are all 3-way design with the 4 ceiling speakers being bookshelfs hanging from the ceiling. The 3 subwoofers are dual 15" for a total of 6 15" drivers. I am in the basement on concrete and no seat transducers. This soundmix can get your seats moving good. Atmos speaker engagement is constant from the swirl of wind in the storms to the subtle of distant thunder and Meg's windchimes. I was a teenager working at the theater when this came out. The theater had the top of the line (at the time) SDDS. This was the best I have ever heard this movie.

[@drewscentral5587]

did you not mention how the video is so damn dark?

[@drewscentral5587]

I have a 5.1.4 system, with a quad wya center as my channel speakers. I have my heights hanging on the side. When we do move, i plan to replace htem with offical in-ceiling speakers :) Just wish the video wasnt so damn dark in alot of places.

@@drewscentral5587 In -Ceiling are nice for aesthetics but most are the best solution for Atmos. Having bookshelfs high hanging from the ceiling is best for sound quality as you can aim the directivity of the speaker sound to the main listening area instead of the floor in front and behind you. That option just does not look as good.

[@bulletsforteeth5029]

I saw 'TWISTER' in May 1996 at THE LAST PICTURE SHOW Drive In Theater, one of the few still operating Drive In Theaters in the State of Texas. What made the film interesting, is that their were thunderstorms and tornado warnings in the area of Gatesville, TX at the time. It really added a scope and depth of reality to the film, unlike anything I have ever seen. If you ever get a chance to see 'TWISTER' or the new 'TWISTERS' movie in the future, go see it during inclement weather at a Drive In for the ultimate experience.

[@TheRedmondGamer]

Dude...this movie also gave me the desire to be a stormchaser. Saw this movie in the theater opening day, and it changed my life. Grew up in southern Indiana, and can completely relate to your story. This film absolutely cured me of my fears as well, and I would drive around our town with my friends watching for severe storms when I was a teen. Those were the good ol' days!

[@ColoradoKid303]

Same for my nephew! Do you know Max Olson?

[@timramich]

I would think the green is not so much a "change" but just the modern ability to use technology to meet the artist's true vision for the film.

[@mikebrennan8254]

I love the vivid green change. Having watched so many storm systems with tornadoes throughout the Missouri/Illinois region, it truly captures what people really see. I’ll never forget the first tornado I ever saw form right before my eyes! Incredible! May 1995 was a crazy tornado month in that area. This one destroyed a bunch of structures in Cantrall & Sherman, Illinois.

[@Christophthegeek]

I’ve seen some incredibly green skies. It’s so disturbing.

Fantastic review, Ken. Your love of the film comes across loud and clear. Can’t wait to see it myself now!

[@chrisw443]

That green is much much closer to the real thing, it can be darker, or brighter depending on the day and the amount of moisture in the storm. thats aweosme!

[@gringoamigo8146]

Twister is also one of my all-time favorites, I watched it about the same number of times you did. It was this movie that got interested in meteorology, specifically tornadoes. Unfortunately, I never went professionally, but at least the knowledge will be there. Now, I'm just an independent video game developer working at an HVAC company.

[@jonathanhansen1222]

Thanks for the review! Now I know that I'll enjoy the 4k when I grab it. This is one of my all-time favorite films and like you, I wore out that VHS over the years. I loved it so much that I watched it several times in the theater as a young teen. The theatrical experience was so memorable; THIS is how movies should be made and how they should make you feel. De Bont nailed it with the cinematography, the kinetic camera movements, the great ensemble of fantastic actors, the score, the effects, the energy, just everything. Greenage!

[@maxpower78-15]

Watching the new quick documentary with Jan De Bont and then going straight into this 4k with atmos blazing… 9 speakers, two subs, lets f’n go!!!!

[@MrBlue3rd]

Ever since I've gone to HD in my movie collecting the Twister bluray has always looked extreme dull in its presentation. I'm from Kansas and I've experienced many close calls with Tornados and know the clouds going green is a very real thing. I think it's safe to say Twister has never been presented properly on home video. With the storm footage there's many scenes that have been lighter but should be darker. It sounds like the storm footage will be much more like real life.

[@brunomachado7279]

Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.

[@JoshuaBarrio]

Saw Twister on opening day when released at theaters. The most memorable thing about the film is the sound mix. Especially during the drive-in scene.

[@Franksmediaandreviews]

[@gabrielpanola]

That full dolby atmos setup is very immersive!!!! It really adds to the movie experience!!! I really believe it's 50% at least of the movie experience!!! That should be your next project! Not every movie has a great atmos transfer but this one sounds amazing in that format!! The Samsung 11.1.4 flagship soundbar has great reviews and it's gotta $440 discount right now if you're a total tech member at best buy!!! I prefer the full set up over this but I hear great things about this soundbar!!!

Unfortunately a soundbar could never do a movie the full Justice as a real setup like I have all hard-wired speakers up on the wall up on the ceiling it's amazing so sound bars are okay if that's your only choice but nothing's going to be a real true surround sound Dolby Atmos set up like I have

Twister came out towards the end of my high school senior year, and absolutely loved it. In 1999 when I got my first DVD player it was one of the first DVDs I bought along with it. About 2 years later I finally invested in an RCA 5.1 surround sound home theater receiver because I wanted to watch it in surround sound. I’m not sure how I feel about the “green” thing either. Oh, and I was lucky enough to have experienced “Twister: The… Ride It Out at Universal Studios Florida before they closed it.

I vaguely remember the movie. I saw it once in the theater and a few times on cable/VHS back in the day. Haven't seen this in decades. But, from your review alone, I went from indifferent to completely geeked out - - esp, regarding the sound. This is on my list now.

[@nickdorenkamp959]

12:53 I can honestly understand that choice because we don't often notice how often the color changes after a storm hits or about to hit. For example I've been living in West Texas for five years now, everytime after it rains really bad, everything looks like piss yellow (but then again there's a whole bunch of dust where I live). Edit: 13:34 Oh yeah. Between my time living in North Texas (which is where I lived until I went to college. Actually from a town that's directly north of Fort Worth which is where Bill Paxton was from.) and my time living out in West Texas, I've come to learn to trust my instincts when there's something not right. While at the same time appreciate the beauty of nature.

I live in southern Kansas and work in Oklahoma. In the original Twisters, when Bill says”it’s going green”, I always thought that it isn’t how it really looks when it goes green. The 4k version makes that scene make sense finally. The 4k makes the movie look like it looks in real life when the sky goes green. Such a minor thing to worry about, but it always took me out of the movie for whatever reason. Now it doesn’t.

I was also a huge fan of this film when it came out. I was 16 and watched it several times in the theater. I’m from CA so the notion of tornados felt foreign to me, so this film got me really interested in learning about them. Apart from that, I’m excited to watch the film in 4k but I have to wait a little longer before I can pick it up. Most of my experience with the film (aside from the theatrical release) was the original dvd so I’m really curious how I’ll feel watching this disc when I get my hands on it.

So I finally picked up my copy and I'm not a fan of the green. It's not the fact they made it greener, but what they made green (or even more green). I've seen several different variations of the happen, once so intense it was as if a green light emitting space ship hiding inside the cloud. I mention that because as bright as it was, it's not putting a green illumination on the environment like what's shown in the "Greenage" scenes. Only the sky, and localized around the supercell needed to be green
