TWISTER 4K UHD BLU-RAY REVIEW + LASERDISC + SUPER 8

4K UHD Blu-ray review of the 1996 blockbuster directed by Jan De Bont. The colour byas has been altered for this home video release, possibly because the green hue during the storm sequences was not possible to fully achieve it successfully using colour filters during the physical film days. Computer video editing and grading has facilitated myriad tinkering which was previously not possible. I know this film too well and therefore would have preferred it to more closely resemble the film prints and the subsequent home video releases up to this point. I compare the 4K to the LaserDisc and also briefly show the Twister Super 8 trailer for illustrative purposes. One thing I didn't mention in this video is that the final shot as the end titles are about to start is of noticeably sub-standard quality. Initially I just thought this was because an optical composite was coming as the titles were about to be superimposed over the top (i.e. two film elements filmed onto a new third element to create the final composite) but it was so comparatively poor that I also think that the obvious CGI added to this shot added an extra detrimental layer to it. I know some people will claim that the 'transfer' was somehow messed up at this point but this is how it would have been made in 1996 and nothing to do with the automated cine to video transfer scan nor the subsequent all-important mastering process. The Courtyard cinema mentioned in this video is the Hereford Courtyard and to keep an eye on what is coming each month, their web site can be accessed here: https://www.courtyard.org.uk/whats-on...
