Twister is not an amazing film or anything like that but seeing it as my first 4DX film recently was a great experience that was completely worth the price. Though it'll be tough to find other films that will work as well in that format so I dunno when I'll see a film in it again.

Twister was amazing back in 1996. Surround sound was still new in the cinema and Twister was making full use of it.

The movie inspired me to get a CRT projector and powerful surround system with heavy subwoofer. Shaking my apartment during the action scenes. The best scene (sound wise) is when the Twister hits the town when The Shining is playing on the outdoor cinema. The garage getting hit, glass shattering everywhere in full surround while the drum of the wind shakes the room, goose bumps every time. (Plus angry neighbors lol)

Dunno what 4DX is, but Twister on Laserdisc with Dolby Digital AC-3, CRT Projector, REL Storm Subwoofer, Yahama DSP-AX1, B&W 603 floor standing speakers was glorious in the 90s!

I've been chasing that 'sound high' ever since.

It's a format that does stuff like shake the chair you're sitting in depending on what's happening in the film with effects like that happening for Twister during the tornado and driving scenes mainly. It enhanced the experience a lot for me and was kinda like watching a film while on a rollercoaster during the most intense parts.
