Top Gun (Blu-ray + Digital Copy) Reviews

Top Gun was well-loved upon its release a quarter century ago. Besides some ruffled feathers over the perceived ‘pro-war’ tone and message, audiences lapped up the swift and likeable star of Tom Cruise, the machismo and hoorah of the American elite naval fighter jet force known as Top Gun, and the whirlwind love story between Cruise and Kelly McGillis. 25 years on, the action-film fan inside me is surprised at how well the aerial sequences (against an unnamed enemy force) hold-up in today’s visual effects laden predominance. As for the rest of the film – and whether it matters or stands up today- that’s a little more complicated.
