Product Information

This is made possible because they’re riding in the rear position of dual-seat aircraft, with both the pilot and actor wearing identical helmets. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers. It seems the same old “enemy” is about to begin enriching uranium in violation of international treaty, and their underground facility is so well fortified that the Navy’s most advanced fighters can’t attack it. Right from the opening shots IMAX shots at the hangar followed by the Mach testing sequence, it’s obvious that this presentation is going to be special.

But here, director Joseph Kosinski ( Tron: Legacy, Oblivion) references Tony Scott’s characteristic style while modernizing it, crafting an actioner that takes full advantage of 80s nostalgia while managing to feel contemporary as well. Use the thumbs up and thumbs down icons to agree or disagree that the title is similar to Top Gun: Maverick. Those he does speak are his own, though his voice—damaged after years of treatment for throat cancer—has been digitally enhanced for clarity). Indeed, in many ways you can see Matthew McConaughey's pilot of the future from Interstellar as the long lost grandkid of this Maverick of the past, who is still always pushing the envelope and is still seemingly able to achieve what no other human - or AI for that matter - could.

A Commentary, a longer, more in-depth Documentary, hell an entire film dedicated to how they accomplished this feat. There's also a near hour-long Masterclass with Tom Cruise - Cannes Film Festival interview that has Cruise reflect upon not just his work for this movie, but his career. This situation is similar to those with high luminance displays complaining about lack of pop due to conservative grading lol.

Others have taken pains to highlight the original film’s “obvious homo-erotic overtones” (and you can almost hear the smirk they wore while typing those words). Forging The Darkstar—Pushing the limits beyond Mach-10, the future of aviation is unveiled through an impressive experimental aircraft specially designed for the movie. But above all else, it delivers honest, well-earned emotions and a satisfying ending, twisting and turning just enough along the way to keep things interesting. According to Shane the LFE could have been a little bit deeper, but I found it worked well with my TR.Flawless native 4K, IMAX-enhanced aspect ratio sequences, and Dolby Vision all come together, coupled with a powerhouse Atmos track, to deliver the home cinema experience of 2022, and arguably a contender for one of the best 4K discs since the inception of the format. And that's what Cruise himself has proven, time and again, likely coming towards the end of his grand stunts and spectacles era as he hits 60 and delivers Top Gun: Maverick and a pair of likely unmissable upcoming Mission: Impossible movies. A Love Letter to Aviation (1080p, 4:48): This piece looks at Cruise's personal love for aviation and shooting the P-51 sequences. This UHD SteelBook release of Top Gun: Maverick is glossy and will sow some handling fingerprints in the darker areas.

Paramount's UK 4K release of Top Gun: Maverick is just utter perfection, delivering the kind of reference excellence fans were hoping for - arguably expecting - for such a wonderfully immersive cinematic experience, and doing its damndest to replicate that at home, with admirably demo results. Cleared For Take Off—Witness the most intense film training program as the cast prepare themselves for filming while pulling multiple G's in a fighter plane.The disc image wise is reference quality for sure, but the audio is a huge missed opportunity in my opinion. Come join the discussion about home audio/video, TVs, projectors, screens, receivers, speakers, projects, DIY’s, product reviews, accessories, classifieds, and more! There's a veritable tick box list of classic Top Gun clichés and each and every one of them is fabulously delivered with not only fist-pumping fan-service but also some degree of thought put into their necessity in the plot (playing ball-games on the beach is no longer just a product of having surplus baby oil). Where Scott found trouble managing things like the sun-kissed opening sequences, having to pay off the aircraft carrier's captain to turn the ship, Kozinski's DOP would find this process much smoother, with a captain prepared to go that extra mile to get the right lighting, just because the original movie highlighted what everybody was aiming for. Top Gun: Maverick epitomizes the summer blockbuster and has set the standard for others to seek to emulate.

Even managing the complications of shooting both in and out of cockpits, plane to plane, ground to plane, and so forth, the rulebook for cinematography - for any experienced cinematographer - had to be utterly rewritten. I've mentioned before that movies in my home when I was growing up were chopped up versions on tv (with commercials) months or years down the road.I enjoyed the balance of atmosphere and discrete object placement, which complimented the source material.
