Product Description
Paramount Top Gun (HD-DVD)
"Top Gun" takes a look at the danger and excitement that awaits every pilot at the Navy's prestigious fighter weapons school. Tom Cruise is superb as Maverick Mitchell, a daring young flyer who's out to become the best of the best. And Kelly McGillis sizzles as the civilian instructor who teaches Maverick a few things you can't learn in a classroom.
Amazon.com essential video
Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine. This designer action movie from 1986 would be all the more appalling were it not for the canny casting of good actors in dumb parts. Standouts include Anthony Edwards--who makes a nice impression as Cruise's average-Joe pal--and the relatively unknown Meg Ryan in a small but memorable appearance. --Tom Keogh

 Oldie but Not-So-Goodie September 19, 2008
I first saw Top Gun in the theater when I was in the 7th grade. It was AWESOME! Watching it almost 25 years later, I can't figure out what the hype was about. The story and aerial dogfights made for good Saturday matinee popcorn fare, but it wouldn't hold up in today's market. As far as the Hi-Def version of the movie goes, I was happy. The aerial scenes weren't shot in Panavision and you can tell the film quality wasn't as good. The rest of the picture is pretty great, as is the sound. The Blu-ray version uses the same transfer.
 All action, as was the original, but more so... September 19, 2008
I liked the original version of Top Gun, but in Blu-ray it's stunning. The sound track is just great - just make sure the neighbors are out before you play it, because the temptation to turn up the volume when those jet take off is overwhelming.
Typical Tom Cruise movie - but great fun, and excellent in High Def format.
A great addition to your Blu-Ray collection if you liked the original.
not tops, but alright September 13, 2008
Eh, I don't know about the original Top Gun. I just watched it yesterday for the first time in forever, and I wasn't really happy with it. The part in the beginning where Tom Cruise tries to hit on what would obviously become his girlfriend a short time later was rather pointless, not to mention uninteresting.
The whole bar scene with Cruise singing to her, trying to win her over... not very good writing. And the part where he followed her to the ladies room? Please!
The actual air combat was good though. The emotions with the guys up in the sky and living dangerously was solid writing because it kept my interest. But the overlong emotional scenes involving Cruise and his girlfriend weren't necessary. Should have been more about taking the planes to the sky instead of a predictable romance that we seen coming a mile away.
Completely Biased Review September 11, 2008
Read this review knowing that this is one of my all-time favorite movies. Yes, that's right, I would go outside (age 8), jump on my bike, and take off dreaming of flying those beautiful F-15's. I probably watched it 20 times a years during Jr. High and High School. I have been anticipating this blu-ray release ever since I heard rumor of it's pending release. Althought typical of most 80's HD movies, this one is absolutely beautiful. Is it the best blu-ray for picture and audio? No way. But if you want a quality movie, that's very fun, and in high-def... Get it. You want be dissapointed.
