Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: PG
Release Date: 2-JAN-2007
Media Type: DVD

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

- I Feel the Need, the Need for Speed!
Top Gun made so many people want to become fighter pilots. As a movie it was probably one of the best promotional tools the Navy and armed forces ever had and the spike in enrollment for years was measurable. Of course there were very few who became pilots or even RIO's and probably ended up in crap roles and not even on an carrier, but I digress.
It's strange to look at the film now and see the outdated old Ninja motorcycle, know that F-14's are no longer in service, Top Gun itself ... Read More
Rating: - topnotch
Blue ray edition excellent.I am sure that it would really be noticed using a larger than 50 inch display

- Blu-ray no improvement here
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 ... Read More

Rating: - Great Movie, Surprisingly fascinating supplements
I have taken a different view on Tom Cruise's persona; life however this movie is one of my favorites... Great addition to a bluray collection modestly priced at $14.99. The sound in 5.1 is great, video is pristine considering it was made in the 80's.
Any fan of Top Gun should rent or buy this.One of my personal favorites.
