It's interesting that with many of these 4K releases, we're going into to realms of enhancement rather than restoration. This movie, although shot with prime lenses, was Super 35 and the cropping on film stock at the time would have resulted in a typically grainy image. Fine, but the colours of the previous Blu-ray were quite typical of what you would expect to see at the time, faults and all. For instance, shots during the volleyball scene have always looked inconsistent, because the camera was shooting at a higher frame-rate to induce slow motion in post, meaning less light was allowed to enter the camera and under-exposed certain shots, which creates colour shifts. This 4K Blu-ray removes such inconsistencies, which on the one hand is fine, but it's just worth pointing that what looks great isn't always authentic to the original medium.

Gonna say man, your videos are an absolute treat. I've recently started collecting 4K's after upgrading my tv, been collecting standard blurays for a while but just more exciting being able to collect your favourite films on the best quality available to us. Anyone thanks for doing these review videos, can't get enough of them!

I will be getting this in 4k but I will never get rid of my 3D Blu-ray of Top Gun! I'll gladly have both.

I have a question about the audio. As an ex Rolls-Royce technologist I was always very disappointed with the sequences when the F-14s light up the afterburner before getting chucked off the front of the boat. Having stood behind both F-14s and Soviet Foxbat displaying at the Farnborough air show, both put out huge amounts of low frequency energy that should give the subs a good work out. But on the DVD and Blu-ray versions it's all compressor and turbine noise. Has this been addressed on this 4K remaster.

"That's right Iceman. I am dangerous!" Thanks for another great review, just ordered mine from Best Buy.

Almost every movie i get from Amazon has a broken case with a piece inside. They must have a guy whose job it it to break the Blu Ray cases before shipping.

I got the remastered 1080p bluray that was released as a limited collectors edition. And I've gotta say that it's also very well done and you can see more detail and the colors are also more life like.

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate the heads up on these transfers as I transition some of my favorite films to 4K

Thanks for the review Jeff. I just picked up this 4K here in the UK. Wanted to watch the original, prior to seeing the new Maverick film at the Cinema next weekend.

Sounds like it’s a must have, I remember around 1990 when I was shopping for my AVR surround sound system, many stores used the original Top Gun VHS tape as a demo, and the fly overs were so realistic you naturally looked up as the sound moved over your head. Great selling point. So when does the TG sequel come out? I’ve been seeing YT previews about a new release soon.

I'd really like to see you compare the newly restored Blu-ray disc in this package compared to the older one and to the 4K version. Does it trump the old one and how close in quality is it to the 4K? Many of us without a 4K setup might purchase based on such comparisons.

Top Gun is one of my favorite movies, Already Reserved my copy!!, thanks for review

I can relate to the case arriving damaged at the bottom! I ordered Blade runner 4K from best buy and it came in yesterday with the bottom seal broken

Good review Jeff, thanks. One of my favorite rock instrumentals came from this. The top gun anthem by Steve Stevens & Harold Faltermeyer. Awesome tune. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Thanks review. I’m waiting for the steelbook coming out in December

Cool, been waiting for this! Buying it through the link! Thanks!

I have a ? when are you releasing your videos being released for War of the Worlds 4k and Days of Thunder 4k? And where do you get your early 4k releases from?

Hallo great Video... i have a question. Have the 4k German Audio-Track?

Is the blu ray thats with this release any different from the older releases?

Just curious, do you make backups of your collection?

Great review Jeff! Thanks!

Very surprised that the regular blu ray has Atmos. Good news for people that haven’t upgraded to 4K yet, but have an Atmos setup!

It's upsetting that the sequel will be delayed because of the pandemic! Will definitely check this one out!

I just got the steelbook recently and then found out the 4k was coming out. Glad to know the 4k fixed all the blur crap

Sorry, I may have missed it, but did you mention there's a new solitary blu-ray release this May, as well?

I have pre-ordered Top Gun, Days of thunder, 1917, 47 Ronin and Blues Brothers. Can't wait.

You already got it?? Holy sh*t! I actually watched "Top Gun" in the theater with my (then) boyfriend, who was about a week out from entering the Navy for a career, which he is now retired from. I've had some weird ambivalence about getting this 4K, lol. About 1,800+ mph, BTW 🙂.

Thanks for Your review of Top Gun in 4K I was thinking about getting it - You convinced me to get it in 4k. Please Do a 4K Blu Ray review of The Blues Brothers.

Picked this up a little while ago in the steel book. Just watched it on the weekend, looked awesome! Audio was good, except I didn’t really pick up anything in the overhead channels. Either way it was a fun ride :)

I am sorry, how can you see the grain on bluray 10-15 feet away, what screen size are we talking about here?

You can buy the 4K empty cases from Amazon their pretty cheap. I ordered my 4K copy from Amazon when they first announced the preorder great review by the way.

Is the digital copy only thru apple? That would be really upsetting if so

Thank you for the review, I cannot wait for my copy to come in. That said, Blues Brothers in 4K comes out Tuesday with Top Gun, too. Are you going to review that as well?

All the 3 movies you mention are one my list. Great review as usual 👍

I just bought it using your code thanks for the review

What’s the screen ratio?

our online stores here in South Africa are currently not delivering blurays due to the pandemic.

Thank you I have been waiting for this review I live in the UK and cannot wait to pick this up 😀

Would you say the Atmos audio is "reference ffquality" or just "better than Dolby HD "?

Hey man, love your channel.. I was just wondering, I have a 4k blade runner region b disc, will that play on any 4K player?

I have the DVD SE version and compared to the Blu-Ray it was slightly better, but the 4K is a huge leap , thank goodness for the Dolby Atmos , this is one of my demo discs when ppl come round.

i pre-ordered this and Jaws, can't wait. I skipped Days of thunder because it is not Atmos, only 5.1, so waiting for review of that one.

Huge movie buff so I really enjoy your channel! I’m a video editor so if you ever need help with anything camera, audio, or editing wise just let me know. I subscribed!

Hey Jeff, Will you be reviewing The Mask of Zorro 4k? im not sure to get it or not.

I'm curious what are you're top favorite steelbook case? So far i really like Venom steelbook and Godzilla 1998, yeah i like that Godzilla movie.

have it in B R , DEFINATLY picking it up in 4k thx , you are my go to for 4k info.

You said you’re selling your steelbook blu ray? How much? Thank you

I have a hard time selling my older editions. I usually just end up with multiple copies of the same movies. 😆

Glad to hear 4K transfer was done well

Unfortunately don't get till Dec as I ordered steelbook. Look forward to war of the worlds and jaws

Top Gun and War of the Worlds is also a must buy

Will you be doing a 4k review of Days of Thunder

Man anytime I wanna know the real deal on 4k movie..... I com e here. Youou just made my decision very easy. Top Gun here I come!! Woo hoo!! Can't wait to hear this in my new home theater set-up!! Thank you for the awesome information. You're the man homie...

Awesome bro. Thanks for info.

Looking forward to this release.

Great review. Probably will grab but have to keep my 3d copy. Beard is looking good

I usually don’t upgrade my Blu-Rays but I have the original BD of Top Gun from 2008 I think, so I might just upgrade this title

Does the new 1080p blu ray transfer look good?

I just got done watching the standard Blu-ray remastered version and it was a beautiful picture with Dolby Atmos

Great review, we have to wait another month here in the UK 👊

When are they going to do proper transfers of the original Star Trek films?? Before or after they get bought by a bigger fish?

Good Atmos track. Love the visual of 4k.

I've ordered all 3 can't wait to get them

Looking forward to seeing both the original & TOP GUN: MAVERICK as a 4k combo set.

The blu ray is alot darker for sure and colours run too hot and theres no variation in the colour pallette on the 1080p. Faces appear too orange and a little yellow at times but I noticed the beads of sweat when kruger 'turns in his wings' on the 1080p. In fact sweat was a massive highlight to the blu ray although I will pick up a copy on 4k.. anyone know the release date in the UK?

No way...I been dying to get my mittens on this..hell yeah

Did you ever have laserdisc? Because TOP GUN looked and sounded great.

does "The Legacy of Top Gun" have new clips from Top Gun: Maverick?

Thanks, amigo...could you tell me what device you have there to play these jewels??? Gracias 🙏 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

It's not quite the 35th anniversary, but the sequel, "Top Gun: Maverick," is scheduled to be released in December so that's as good a reason as any to release the 4K of the original movie now...

Deciding if I should buy the 4K before going to see Maverick. Thanks for the work you do!

Video doesn't actually start till 1:34. Saved you a minute and a half of your life.

5:10 Didnt you have a video saying that you need to be closer to the screen to get the best experience out of your 4k tv lol? Now I gotta be 15 feet away? My wife gonna be pissed that im gonna be moving the couch around again lmao Love your videos man! Thanks for everything you do!

Hello Jeff, I just popped this movie in, the 4k version suppose to have that yellowish tone ? Wondering if is my tv lol. How did it look on your end?

I don't have a ATMOS receiver. I had the old bluray and that sounded great with jets zooming by. Now I sold it and bought the 4k and with the same setup the ATMOS doesn't give me that effect. Now the 4k I found looks great because they added a yellowish tint to the movie which I have never seen in VHS, BETA, laserdisc, dvd or bluray.

Thanks, great review!

How’s the bass?

Why is the Steelbook not coming out till December?

Comes out in the UK on 8th June - Pre-ordered and can't wait :)

Still rocking 1080p, would you say the new Blu Ray looks better than the original Blu Ray, or is it the same old transfer? Might upgrade for the better sound alone, but hope the picture was improved on the Blu Ray also! I've been buying certain movies as they are released on 4k even though I don't have a 4k tv yet, knowing one day, that'll be reason enough to finally upgrade!

can you please do a review on robocop bluray and robocop 2 and 3 i would appreciate your opinion on whether or not to buy them

Hey. I love watching your videos and I didn’t realised top gun 4K was coming so thumbs up for that. It will be added to my collection. I heard rumours that the lord of the rings trilogy and the hobbit trilogy will come out on 4K this year. Any thoughts on are the rumours correct or not. Keep up the great work.

Keep up great work, would love for you to review and hear your thoughts on Life of Pi 4k im gonna be giving it a go tonight

Thank you. Just found out Flash Gordon is coming out on 4k. Day one purchase.

Your the best. Especially knowing 4K. I always buy 4K you recommend.

I’m gonna pick up this 4K ASAP

I wonder will Apple upgrades my HD version of Top Gun to 4K on my iTunes?

Damaged cases is so annoying. I ordered BTTF Trilogy from Amazon US and it arrive badly dented. Had to get it replaced. HMV in the UK seems to do a good job.

Thanks for the review! Kindly consider doing a review of the blu-ray disc that's in the set as well in your future videos. For me I have not got into 4K yet but if the blu-ray video is better than the previous release, I would purchase the set for the remastered blu-ray. Thanks man, be safe and take care!

Sounds good. Can’t wait for it to come in

The Tomcat's top speed is 2.34 mach about 1,544 mph. So, not quite "thousands of miles an hour". And generally they have to operate below the speed of sound. Great video, looks like a great release, I've seen TOO GUN countless times. But I've never owned. I think it's time to rectify that oversight.

Awesome review! You can be my wingman anytime!

I got Samsung Q90R and it's not supporting Dolby atmos.. There's a way to pay for the movie and download it as a file? Thanks

Jaws now Top Gun !! wow 2 great 4k releases this year within weeks from now

Got top Gunn and jaws on blue ray special edition on hmv UK pre order 34. 99 get poster book and art cards 4k have a look on hmv uk

Haven’t been to Bullmoose since the late 1990’s.

Watched this last night. 120 inch screen. 4k PJ. Dolby Atmos 7.1. Blew me away.

Great work Jeff.

Can you help me please can you tell me a good Region code free blu-ray player thanks john

Well Jeff have not seen the A1 crisp clear 3D BLU-RAY i guess without any DNR issue unlike the old 2D BLU-RAY
