DVD Reviews of Top Gun [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Top Gun
Summary: 5 Stars

A young recruit aspires to become the top fighter pilot in the prestigious naval training school he attends. This Hollywood ride works equally well for both sexes. The air scenes brilliant. Get this movie and the soundtrack to.

DVD Review: Go Navy
Summary: 5 Stars

The opening scene in "Top Gun" is the best way -- bar none -- for showing off a new TV or sound system. With no transition at all, you suddenly find yourself on the deck of a very busy, very dangerous aircraft carrier with very large jets moving around, threatening to blow off, run over, or slice and dice unwary deck crewmen. The driving rock score, mixed with the sounds of aircraft launches, is expertly blended together into a ballet that concludes with a catapult launch of an F-14 Tomcat off the bow. Going from zero to 140 knots in 120 feet is an absolutely ridiculous thing to do with a 20-ton aircraft, but it is something the U.S. Navy does all the time.

Once you have tested your video and sound system in the first couple minutes, a movie breaks out. There is the outcast hero, the femme fatale, the superiors who don't understand the hero, and villains. The villains are a bit different, in that they have supersonic jets, but it is otherwise standard movie fare. But of a very high standard.

The photography alone makes this an amazing movie; even people who hate Tom Cruise or think his role is a bit too juvenile even for a naval aviator won't be able to resist the glorious aerial photography. The film was shot long before HDTV was invented, and it isn't the best showcase for Blu Ray, but that doesn't mean it isn't outstanding and, frequently, glorious.

One important thing to keep in mind: this movie is about the U.S. Navy. Interviewing movie goers two decades ago, a majority thought the film was about the "Air Force." No, the Air Force doesn't fly over endless tracks of ocean, doesn't take off from short, moving runways in all weather, and doesn't fly the (now retired) F-14. Naval aviation has its own unique challenges, and "Top Gun" gives you a simplistic, but thrilling, overview of one of the world's most dangerous professions.

DVD Review: Worth the price for the outstanding photography
Summary: 4 Stars

"Top Gun" is a nice movie and the best part of it is the photography. From the carrier sights to the F-14 flights, this is how this movie made to my favourites list. The Blu-Ray edition brings this to a new dimension - seeing it in a large HD TV makes all the previous editions (DVD) look like old photographs. Worth the price.

DVD Review: Great Action
Summary: 4 Stars

I really enjoyed this movie because of all the aircraft action & I like the area in which it was filmed ! I live in the SoCal area and frequent the are where the movie was filmed.

DVD Review: Blu-Ray Review
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm gonna review the quality of the blu-ray version of this movie. I'm not gonna review the movie itself as there are enough reviews of it. I was surprised with the quality of this movie, I wasn't expecting an spectacular image quality but it exceeded my expectations. Sure the quality is not like a new release film, but the quality is outstanding considering how old is this movie. My only gripe is that image quality is not consistent in some parts of the movie(those are few), but I think that's more related to the camera work in the movie than with the HD conversion. The audio is superb, and that's a good thing especially with this movie. Recommended buy for HDTV owners.

Description of Top Gun [Blu-ray]

Widescreen, Blu-Ray. Rated PG. Blu-Ray Disc. Released 2007. Directed by:Tony Scott Featuring:Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer.

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
