Dang it my local Targets and Best Buy only decided to order the 4K Top Gun and not Days of Thunder or War of the Worlds so I had to order the latter.
Picked up Top Gun though and gave the movie a spin in man I don't know how many years. What an effortlessly timeless film. I literally could have pictured this being a brand new period/action film released in theaters last year alongside the likes of Ford v Ferrari. EVERYTHING still holds up today and due to Scott putting real cameras on real fighter jets it always will. I feel like Michael Bay has been chasing this film his whole life to no avail.
The picture and sound are off the charts, took me right back to watching this on the big screen multiple times in 1986.

Yup pretty damn epic and timeless.
I wonder if miniatures were ever used!
I need to pick then up. I read the reviews and they all got really good reviews. Top Gun doesn't surprise me since I remember it being the demo movie for home theater set ups in stores. Always had a great sound mix and Danger Zone is an awesome 80's song.
I preordered the 4K Steelbook for Top Gun from Best Buy, and for whatever reason, that version isn't due for release until 12/8! I realize that's closer to the current release date of Top Gun: Maverick, but what the hell!?!
Yes but only for the exploding "MiGs." But even the miniatures (which were quite large) were so good you don't even know they weren't blowing up full sized planes, lol.
Yes the audio is damn epic with almost every second either an iconic song or the roar of a supersonic engine. I didn't even realize that my ears were slightly hurting until after it was over because I just couldn't resist having it cranked way up, lol.
And that's funny that you mention it as a demo movie because I worked at the Incredible Universe Home Theater department in the mid-90's and since I got to decide which movies would demo on the main big screen in the center of the warehouse I always alternated the laserdiscs between the THX ESB Hoth Battle and the final dogfight of Top Gun. I'd have crowds of people stopping to watch those entire sequences from beginning to end, lol.
Been kicking myself since I passed on that robocop for $15, didn't realize how good a deal it was.Thanks to simultaneous sales on a couple sites, I had my biggest haul in a long time delivered today.
Is that South Korea? Because I saw something like that before, in an indoor exhibit.

That is a great looking steelbook, congrats on getting that!I got the UK disc of Angel Heart in 4K. What a fantastic upgrade for a fantastic film. If you never seen it go ahead and get the reg Blu ray or rent on Amazon... Great film.
