About this deal

This isn’t its first appearance on Blu-ray, nor its second as it was released in 3D a few years back.

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.Lauded for some of the best sound in the era of LaserDisc and early Dolby Digital (yes, Dolby Digital) I was expecting big things from this soundtrack as it’s long been regarded as one of the better-sounding out there. Paramount has released Tony Scott's seminal 1986 picture 'Top Gun' to the 4K UHD format, featuring 2160p/Dolby Vision video. That same year, Maggie joined as a co-host on the Star Wars podcast ‘Outer Rim Beacon,’ and has appeared as a guest on numerous Star Wars podcasts and other pop culture podcasts.

Paramount Home Entertainment brings Tony Scott's Top Gun to Ultra HD Blu-ray as a two-disc combo pack with a flyer for a Digital Copy, which can be redeemed via paramountmovies. If you weren't already eagerly anticipating the sequel, after watching this film and these extras, you will be.

Paramount's US 4K Blu-ray release of Top Gun beats the UK disc off the deck by a couple of weeks (now finally landing with an identical disc and the perfect companion piece in Days of Thunder 4K), delivering absolutely stunning native 4K video, complete with Dolby Vision enhancement, as well as a tremendous Dolby Atmos track and some nice new extras too. Both Scott and Bruckheimer are good but the advisors steal the show with their comparison of what is possible and what is not possible combined with the overall enjoyment of the film without gushing all over it.

However, when switching between this 2160p version and its 1080p brethren, overall definition and clarity don't yield the sort of leaps-and-bounds difference we'd expect. Top Gun: Leading a phenomenal cast including Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards, Meg Ryan and Tim Robbins, Tom Cruise soars as Maverick, the young, in-your-face U. Yes, the film that literally epitomizes the Cold War as much as anything else out there, Top Gun gave us the action whereas Dr. It’s amazing to me, looking back, to consider just how far the state of the art in home theater image quality has come.Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers. The movie catapulted Tom Cruise's career into mega-stardom while also raising the number of naval recruits at the same time, and it strangely endures both as an 80s fan favorite and as the butt of many, many jokes. Ultimately, such minor infractions in the contrast can easily be overlooked in light of the new color timing supplying the 4K video with a richer, better-saturated array of colors. This is the first time we’ve been treated to a Dolby Atmos track and I’m sure purists will bemoan the fact that the previously-released TrueHD mixes weren’t ported over.
