About this deal

suddenly transforms the cinematic experience but not the technical achievement. The song's fine instrumental and vocal details have never sounded so Barring more double-dips, re-masters, boxed sets, and 3D Conversions, the main reason I signed up for 'Top Gun 3D' is because I adore Tony Scott and this represents one of the last times to review, if not something new, something of his we've never seen (sort of). I have no idea whether he was involved with this process, other than he intended to make a sequel, but after watching this movie, it breaks my cinema-heart to know there will never been another new Tony Scott film. And despite my questions about the overall experience here, now more than ever I wonder what Tony Scott in native stereo would have been like? Insane, over the top, seizure-inducing, brilliant? Who knows, but man I loved his work. 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. 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 shots and finds plenty of punch and vitality to the colorful pilot helmets seen throughout. A couple of late film explosions offer excellent punch. Skin

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. No joke, want to learn how to be cool and get a girl; watch Cary Grant in everything and Cruise circa 'Top Gun'. 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. 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 management, color boosts, and overall clarity the higher resolution and high dynamic range colors provide to that superior presentation, but the imageand 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 awesome. As the film starts, score swells with previously unmatched clarity and immersion, and the gear shift into Danger Zone

Get a better idea of that here, where I ranked my favorite Scott Bros. films, though today I would find a place for ' Unstoppable'. minutes, listeners will enjoy a location that is awash with authentic military sounds, such as radio chatter and assorted radar and computer bleeps and Top Gun's new Blu-ray includes fresh extras in addition to the previously released content. New extras are marked as such below andAs 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. finds himself dealing with other issues, including the specter of his father (himself a former pilot), Starring: Tom Cruise , Kelly McGillis , Val Kilmer , Anthony Edwards , Tom Skerritt , Michael Ironside 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.

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.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. 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. High praise, for sure, but you have to give the digital artists credit. They cleaned this old dog up real nice.

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! speed while making various maneuvers. Here the top end engages with frequency, with both plainly discrete effects and easily identifiable adds to the 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

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.
