In TOP GUN, Tom Cruise stars as Maverick, a talented training pilot in an elite U.S. school for fighter pilots. When he stumbles upon some MiG's over the Persian Gulf, and his wingman panics, Maverick cleverly talks him through the situation to safety. Consequently, he is moved up in rank and sent to the Top Gun Naval Flying School. There he has several conflicts with other students while trying to live up to his deceased father's reputation. Unable to cope with the death of his best friend, and fellow pilot, Goose, Maverick contemplates dropping out, but follows through with his dream and ultimately becomes one of the "best of the best."

Summary: disappointed
Comment: This might seem obvious to people who are tech saavy, but you can't play Blu-ray on a regular DVD player. We were very disappointed to find out as we were so excited about watching the movie! Now I guess I have to sell the Blu-ray disc and get a regular one. Bummer.

Summary: Great sound, poor video
Comment: 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.

Summary: All-time classic!
Comment: This is my husband's favorite movie in the whole world, so I purchased it on new HD DVD for him for Christmas. I didn't know that you have to have an HD player to play HD DVDs, which we don't. So the movie is great, but please make sure you get the right movie format for your player.

Summary: Rent do not buy in Blue-Ray
Comment: I have this in DVD and Blue-Ray. Keep the DVD. The picture & sound is no different than the DVD. I watched this wanting this to make me smile. It never did. Rent this first & save some money.
