ILM once again re-invents visual effects. A wonderful marriage of CG animation and
compositing, TWISTER represents yet another milestone in ILM's incredible career.
None of the compositing problems that were present in JUMANJI appear in the film.
Color levels are all consistent, and the match-move work is extraordinary. Remember
when a hand-held composite was an incredible challenge? TWISTER features
near-perfect
composites in hand held shots through car windshields. The only things similar
between JUMANJI and TWISTER are the cheesy story and flat characters.
