Hard to tell from the small picture at GRUV, but it seems like it's Dolby TrueHD audio, not Atmos.

OK, so it's Dolby Atmos-TrueHD, which is a new one on me.

the texts are just too greyish to read...

...no Auro3D but Atmos is "there" as according to the artwork.​

to those who're not so concerned about 4K visuals but only on the availability of English Atmos track, beside the German-Release...

...you can go single disc French release, which doesn't comes with Auro3D but English DTS-HD track.
note that this release may not be region-free as Turbine Germany release do.

Just saw the post about this today. Currently, it’s no longer available for preorder on Amazon so I tried signing up for a GRUV account and I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a more poorly scripted and broken website.

I thought it was the dumbest film I had ever seen at the time, filled with a bunch of characters I didn't care about. I've seen dumber ones since. However, I did use the laserdisc when I wanted to demo my sound system to people. The opening scene has magnificent sound.

If I remember correctly, there were a lot of issues concerning the twister sequences on the original DVD release. I believe this was due to the compression and limited bandwidth of the format.

Yes, and Twister was also one of the inaugural DVD releases at the format's launch in late 1997. The industry hadn't quite gotten the hang of MPEG-2 yet. Had it been released a few years later, it might have come out better.

Appears that pre-order links do not work. Cannot find any pre-order opportunities? Not even a release date?
Yep, Amazon lists it as "Currently Unavailable" and GRUV has a page for it but no "Add to Cart" option. Looks like they're both broken at the moment.

Hi Roger!

You can order it from GRUV right now. The link is in the top post.

I am not certain if the Amazon link was live and then taken down. That happens sometimes. Other times I put up a placeholder, and in that case, the link should go live any day now.

Even on GRUV there’s no way to add it to the basket and check out. Can’t believe this went so quick. Been trying for days in both.

I don't think it's a matter of limited inventory. I think in both cases, Warner pulled the preorders pending an official announcement.
