Movie Review: Great sound, poor video
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, this was really a mixed bag for me. Top Gun was always one of my favorite movies growing up, and I've owned it on VHS, DVD, and now Blu-Ray. The lack of aspect ratio information on the box is quite telling, as there is no TRUE widescreen - all video is letterboxed, even on a 16:9 HD LCD TV. The "widescreen" is simply a cropped version of the full screen edition, with black bars. This was very disappointing to me, as I was hoping for some full 1080 F-14 action.
That said, the EXCELLENT DTS 6.1 sound track nearly makes up for the visuals. The encoding seems theater-pure, and is one of the best BD audio tracks I've heard. It's really astonishing how defined the audio is, especially the spatial effects and rumble during the flying sequences. Simply superb audio.
Hopefully, Paramount can dig up a better quality version of the master and give us a TRUE widescreen, full HD experience for Top Gun. Until then, this is the best that we've got.
Movie Review: This is supposed to be high definition????
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm going to get right to the point. First off this is a great movie especially if the F-14 is your favorite aircraft. However the picture looks the same as it did when I used to watch this on a 19" inch TV in the late 80's on a rented VHS tape. Paramount should be ashamed, this is not even close to 720 let alone 1080. I have old DVD's that offer a better picture in the bluray player then this. Yes it does have a cool menu but the picture is NOT high-Def and the sound is only acceptable when you put the setting on 6.1 DTS Master (only reason I gave 2-stars). If you do not have a good external speaker system do not waste your money because the picture and the sound won't be worth it.Movie Review: Blu-ray no improvement here
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought Top Gun on Blu-Ray as my first BD disc, in part because it was relatively inexpensive, but also because I was excited to see the dogfight sequences in high def.
Unfortunately, it looks to me like only the dialog sequences were improved by the change in format. The dogfights, the carrier take-offs and landings, and the other scenes with the (still cool and exciting F14 Tomcat) look like they are in standard def.
With that disappointment, it was hard to get excited by this movie. The dialog is so painfully cheesy that unless you are are teenager, there was no real reason to watch it in the first place.
