About this deal

Starring: Tom Cruise , Kelly McGillis , Val Kilmer , Anthony Edwards , Tom Skerritt , Michael Ironside 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. It's important to note this may not have been a worldwide view of America; it certainly isn't now. But put on some acid wash jeans or neon t-shirts, grab your Walkman, and go with it.

speed while making various maneuvers. Here the top end engages with frequency, with both plainly discrete effects and easily identifiable adds to the 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. Looking at the video review so far, it seems I've done nothing but heap butt-kissing praise onto this conversion. I merely intend to give credit where it is due. There's a lot of beautiful work in here, and it's crazy to think the movie still looks like itself, only deeper.

Finally, there are more than a few moments where planes or people, who appear deeper, connect with the frame's edge and spoil the illusion, but there are only a couple outwardly BAD shots (for my eyes). These both included mirror reflections, and the added depth of the distance behind the mirror feels wonky. Ghosting, for those with prone displays, is minor (on some titles and some of the smaller jet shot). 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! 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 obviouslyfinds himself dealing with other issues, including the specter of his father (himself a former pilot), 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.
