About this deal

Top Gun comes to US 4K Ultra HD Blu-rayjust a couple of weeks before its likely identical UK counterpart, with an absolutely stunning native 4K presentation forthis Ultra HD Blu-rayrelease. Kosinski, and that film's cast discuss the original's impact and legacy, its style, favorite scenes and cultural quotables, and more. The piece ends with Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. If you weren't already eagerly anticipating the sequel, after watching this film and these extras, you will be

Narrow Targets and the Future (5:39): The film's success upon release, its influence on music and the style of the time, Cruise's and there do look low-res, compressed, and subpar, almost as if zoomed in or in some way digitally processed. Look at a few close-ups at the 16:28-ish Multi-Angle Storyboards (SD, 7min) — With optional commentary by director Tony Scott, two scenes are showcased with the multi-angle option where viewers can compare storyboards and the actual shots. Starring: Tom Cruise , Kelly McGillis , Val Kilmer , Anthony Edwards , Tom Skerritt , Michael Ironside Detail is excellent, revelling in the nuances of the faces of the frequently sweaty core cast, with a loving layer of texture to it leaving you with no concerns whatsoever that the underlying detail may have been scrubbed away - sure, this is a clean print, but it's got no signs of excessive DNR implementation, merely affording the image a gorgeous clean-but-textured look.Paramount has released Tony Scott's seminal 1986 picture 'Top Gun' to Blu-ray, newly remastered in 4K. The disc also includes a Dolby Atmos the disabled ship in the Indian Ocean. It's the scene intro shot that lasts several seconds. There are also a few occasions of uneven pitch (1:21:40, for In fact, smoke on the carrier sequences, as well as the interior of Viper's office, is perhaps the best use of 3D in the movie. There's also a terrific bit where, during the film's climax, a wing-mounted camera flies through the contrail just-formed by the Mig in front of us. These moments appear filmed-in-3D.

The soundstage displays excellent channel separation with even, persuasive movement between the channels and very well-prioritized vocals in the center. When the F-14s scream across the screen, they fly by with ease while dynamic range remains stable without much distortion. Low-frequency effects are accurate and authoritative with powerful, thunderous roars. Rear activity comes alive during the dogfights, extending the soundfield with lots of action and commotion. The real winner, of course, is the score and song selection, filling the entire front soundscape and subtly bleeding into the surrounds for an effective and engaging presentation. minutes, listeners will enjoy a location that is awash with authentic military sounds, such as radio chatter and assorted radar and computer bleeps and management, color boosts, and overall clarity the higher resolution and high dynamic range colors provide to that superior presentation, but the image

Feel free to argue whether or not he deserves this title, or the relatively quality of his various pictures over the decades, but his film and television business is a billion dollar enterprise. Box office revenues don't equate quality, but the man has earned my respect for sure. Top Gunis almost 35 years old, but 4K has given it a whole new lease of life, with the relatively low budget production thankfully shot with some not insignificant style by Scott, and also thankfully shot on film, which leaves plenty of sequences from the film looking basically almost as good as they would today. It gets off to a slightly grainy start, with the opening shot, and that gives you a taste of what some of the individual frames may look like, particularly given the lighting and limitations of the source footage, but the aerial footage - by and large - is absolutely astounding; a real revelation in 4K, and far far better than ever before.

Paramount grounds the film with a nice selection of bonus features, but considering its massive success, it also leaves much to be desired. When it comes to double-dips, I typically skip reviewing the movie portion to save time, but considering the fact that our first 'Top Gun' review was for 2 Stars, and the second was for 3 Stars, I thought it would be funny if the third one was for 4 Stars (FWIW, it's my honest opinion). Who knows, maybe when Paramount releases the 4K Blu-ray 30th Anniversary Edition in 2016, that reviewer will adorn it with a full 5 Stars? The disc presents a native 3840 x 2160p resolution image in the film's original theatrical aspect ratio of widescreen 2.4:1, and uses 10-bit video depth, a Wide Colour Gamut (WCG), High Dynamic Range, as well as Dolby Vision, and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec for HDR10. I wanted to share my two pennies as well because, as we all tragically know, this is not only the first Tony Scott 3-D Blu-ray, but possibly the last Tony Scott Blu-ray. Ever [1]. While 'Top Gun' isn't my all-time favorite Scott movie [2], hearing last August that he had taken his own life was crushing. Tony Scott had entertained me since I was a little boy who had no idea someone called a "director" made movies. Years later, a moment I'm sure many of you have felt, I made the connection: wait, all these awesome movies are "by" the same one guy [3]? Impossible!

behind the more revealing native 4K presentation. It's still a treat that Blu-ray only buyers will find more than satisfying. A few shots here found on the UHD. This is a fairly sizable step up from the original issue Blu-ray for both textural filmic accuracy and color rendition. It's a solid step Danger Zone: The Making of Top Gun" (SD, 148 min) — Broken in six parts, this exhaustive documentary covers pretty much every aspect of the production, whether you want to know it or not. Actually, it's a surprisingly entertaining, comprehensive look at the movie's making, from its meager beginnings as a script that was passed around for a while to the musical score, song selections and audience reaction. There's little in the way of criticism and delving too far into any problems experienced during filming, but interviews with cast and crew mildly touch on some troubles and are more focused on celebrating the movie as a memorable success. With tons of BTS footage throughout, the doc is a good watch for both admirers and non-fans alike. In North America, the film has grossed more than the likes of Avengers and Titanic, en route to becoming Cruise's most successful movie ever. Even this past weekend, Top Gun still managed to secure 2nd place at the box office during a quieter release period.

Top Gun is newly remastered on Blu-ray with new special features! This new addition to the hmv Exclusive Premium Collection also includes the original theatrical poster and 4 art cards. Then something fun happened. The opening titles, including the long paragraph about the history of the Top Gun program, popped right off the screen. I smiled. Those looked good. I liked the effect. And then my mouth dropped. Remember those terrible dark and grainy shots of fighter jets slowly preparing for take off? All the steam and sweat and exhaust? They still look like I remember, the grit and grain are still there, but wow, the flat, chunky images have been replaced with believable depth. Nothing suffered from that cardboard layer effect. mark when Jester is briefing the pilots on Naval kill ratios during Korea and Vietnam. The Blu-ray yields a healthy color palette within the many warm A later light bulb moment would reveal that movies are made by hundreds of talented people in an orchestrated collaboration, not just the one or two As you can probably see, 'Top Gun 3D' is definitely a mixed bag. From my point of view, there were more impressive moments than failures, but as an overall experience, the 3D doesn't enhance the action. It's cool. It looks good. It makes for some gorgeous, some less so, high definition. But serve story or improve the film, it does not.No joke, want to learn how to be cool and get a girl; watch Cary Grant in everything and Cruise circa 'Top Gun'. As a Blu-ray, it's a much harder call. Most will be happy with the disc they have, given half of this release IS that very same disc. Aside from the new UltraViolet copy, the only reason to consider this Blu is the 3D ( no shit, Palmer), which is very well done, despite a few flaws. But I'm not sure the overall experience is enhanced, except that the movie now looks sometimes better in 3D than the aging 2D transfer (though the aging transfer does best the new version in places). Finally, the audio is terrific and loud and everything this movie needs it to be, and the Special Features remain surprisingly in-depth.
