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.

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 The 1080p presentation, which is an SDR 1080p downscale of the companion UHD 4K/Dolby Vision release, fares quite well on its own. It's obviously A freshly restored and converted 'Top Gun 3D' soars onto Blu-ray with an MPEG-4 MVC encode framed (for the most part) in the film's original 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Overall, it looks pretty damned sweet, though I have some reservations about the whole experience and one huge grievance with the release overall, but we'll get there in a minute. 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.awesome. As the film starts, score swells with previously unmatched clarity and immersion, and the gear shift into Danger Zone

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. Released: 8th June 2020. 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.

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. Endlessly quotable and utterly iconic, Tony Scott's Tom Cruise-starring quintessential 80s aviation action thriller still stands up almost 35 years later.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.

Under is flattering and faithful. Textures are excellent, particularly in close-up, where sweat, pores, and hair showcase very fine clarity, though clearly lagging

Further, the 3D experience has a number of high points. The movie opens with the new 100th Anniversary Paramount Logo which, to no one's surprise, looks perfect. Seeing this first, I was immediately worried.

The dog fighting sequences, and most of the individual shots, are done really well. Jet noses poke out from time to time, the smaller jets, sometimes leave the screen, but for the most part, we experience depth rather than pop-out. Another strength to this conversion is, much like the smoke, the characters themselves rarely feel like cardboard cutouts. I would say "never" because none of our main characters ever appear that way, but whenever an intentionally-out-of-focus extra crosses in the foreground -- think the bar scenes -- they look flat and tend to disrupt the shot / stereo effect. 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.
