Thanks to Deal Editor persian_mafia for sharing this deal.
  • Note: Availability for pickup may vary.
Description:
  • Devil-may-care navy pilot Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is sent to Miramar Naval Air Station for advanced training. Here he vies with Tom Kasansky (Val Kilmer) for the coveted "Top Gun" award. When not so occupied, Mitchell carries on a romance with civilian consultant Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis). Shaken up by the death of a friend, Mitchell loses the Top Gun honor to Kasansky. Worried that he may have lost his nerve, Mitchell is given a chance to redeem himself during a tense international crisis involving a crippled US vessel and a flock of predatory enemy planes. The story wasn't new in 1986, but Top Gun scored with audiences on the strength of its visuals, especially the vertigo-inducing aerial sequences. The film made more money than any other film in 1986 and even spawned a 1989 takeoff, Hot Shots. An Academy Award went to the Giogio Moroder-Tom Whitlock song "Take My Breath Away."~Hal Erickson

I might as well buy it since I already own the VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, Blu-Ray so now I guess it's time for the 4K UHD version

How is the audio and video quality on this compared to blu-ray? Is it a worthwhile upgrade for those that appreciate the increased AV fidelity?

They did filter some of the bass in the 4K...
It now starts to drop after 60Hz vs before it was 45Hz can be fixed with BEQ

Atmos

That's subjective, it also has an atmos mix versus a 6.1 mix.
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/To...ay/265018/

"If sound was ever vital to any film it's Top Gun; the picture's soundtrack is legendary and the dogfight sequences demand high power audio. Both are served extraordinarily well by the new Dolby Atmos soundtrack, the absolute best the film has ever sounded. Simply put, the soundtrack is awesome. As the film starts, score swells with previously unmatched clarity and immersion, and the gear shift into Danger Zone suddenly transforms the cinematic experience but not the technical achievement. The song's fine instrumental and vocal details have never sounded so rich, and even as the music is spacious it never loses a feel of focus and positional excellence. Inside the carrier command center in the opening minutes, listeners will enjoy a location that is awash with authentic military sounds, such as radio chatter and assorted radar and computer bleeps and bloops that draws the listener into the tight space. There are plenty of other moments of light background elements, even in quiet dialogue scenes (the 39-minute mark, for example) where very fine jet fighter screeches are heard in the distant background. Music throughout the film soars, whether "Lead Me On" blended into the background during the club scene in chapter four when Maverick first meets Charlie or when it's more center-stage when "Playing with the Boys" powers through during the volleyball scene. For anyone who grew up listening to the soundtrack on CD or cassette, this is a game changer.

Fighter jets rumble in the sky as they move into position on the carrier's deck but the sensation only improves as they power through the air at high speed while making various maneuvers. Here the top end engages with frequency, with both plainly discrete effects and easily identifiable adds to the entire sensation. The feel of spacial realization is intoxicating, and while the track is greatly expanded it feels completely natural. Gunfire rips through the stage in the action scene to end the film while missiles zoom and planes explode with impressive movement and depth, respectively. Dialogue is clear and lifelike throughout.

There are a couple of very minor drawbacks. There appears to be a lip sync issue, fairly severe, at the 1:27:20 mark as the pilots are being briefed on the disabled ship in the Indian Ocean. It's the scene intro shot that lasts several seconds. There are also a few occasions of uneven pitch (1:21:40, for example). Overall, however, this track is a beast. Fans are going to love it."

It is not worse. It looks and sounds way better than the HD version. The Atmos alone is worth it. Plus HDR gives it better color and it's noticeably more crisp than the regular blu-ray.

I don't have the bluray but the quality for the first Top Gun should be fairly close to it in picture quality.

EDIT: The sound was outstanding, though.

EDIT 2: I'm feeling really stupid about preordering it at full price now. I didn't think they would cut the price this much only a week after I got it in the mail.

OK, Subjectively worse for anyone with a subwoofer that can go to 20 or below in a 5.2 setup

Not necessarily, you can use BEQ to fix the track and the track got a stellar review form bluray.com

https://www.avsforum.com/threads/...s.2995212/

I have two monolith 16 THX ULTRA that go down to 14Hz or lower in room and it doesn't matter to me because I can BEQ in 2 seconds, it so it's better for me because it includes the Atmos track.
