The opening sequence sound is awesome and clear, far better than the old dvd I had. And sound throughout is amazing.

I can't believe the reviews I have read about Top Gun being technically inaccurate, not enough character development, an overall simple and childish plot... gimme a friggin' break! This film was made to look cool, sound cool, and define cool. Yeah, okay, the MiG-28s are really F-5 Tigers; I've read the 'goofs' section before. And Tom Cruise's height. And about 'Maverick going supersonic - I'll be there in 30 seconds,' and the laws of physics preventing him from covering 200 or so miles from the carrier in that time. Whatever! So what! If Top Gun had tried to be accurate and true-to-life in every respect, it would have been some oh-so-serious flick like Courage Under Fire. Here's some examples of what I mean: 1 - what's the best way to evade cannon fire? Do a snazzy barrel roll. Problem solved! 2 - the MiG pilots have tinted visors. The good guys don't. Go figure. 2.5 - Russian planes are actually grey or green. The MiG 28s are black. The Tomcats are... yeah, you guessed it... white! Good vs. Evil. 3 - Modern air-to-air combat is usually fought at distances of tens of miles between aircraft. Top Gun uses much cooler spitting-distance WWI era tactics. 4 - "It's too close for missiles. I'm switching to guns!" Enough said. 5 - the generic guy carrying coffee who gets knocked over by the fuming air-control officer. We never see him get up. Classic. 6 - even the edited TV version is a few steps above normal-cool. "... you'll be flying a cargo plane [edit]... out of Hong Kong!" 7 - the way Iceman says, "Mayday, Mav's in trouble. He's in a flat spin, and heading out to sea." 8 - the graceful way Top Gun maintained a PG rating, without using the F-word once.Read full review
This movie is great. The film quality is slightly grainy on my 105" screen but the sound is better than ever. I got goosebumps on the opening sequence with Kenny Loggins singing danger zone. You will too. Be sure to have your system calibrated by a CEDIA certified professional that also holds a certificate from the Imaging Science Foundation. Sadly most of you did your own system and will never get it to perform like it could. These people have the classroom training that you likely could not afford to pay for, let alone have the time to quit your jobs and go. HIRE a PRO. I did and it makes a difference.

A action and entertaining movie about top pilots at a top gun pilot school Stars Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Kelly Mcgallis, Micheal Ironside, etc this movie is worth watching! It came out in 1986, This probably one of my favorites from the 1980’s And It’s now on Blu-ray.
