I spend some time with two new high definition releases this evening. One in HD, the other BD, and together they will do more to help continue the chasm between the two formats than to move toward any resolution, as they are both superb.
Paramount is releasing one of the most popular action films of the '80s in HD, and it's one of the films that will sell Toshiba units to those who can't live without it, unless they pick it up and hold it until the dual HD / BD Samsung hardware arrives in October or November.
Like Halloween, Top Gun has been cleaned and grain "reduced." The final product is a gorgeous transfer, which when combined with Dolby TrueHD, will knock the dust of even the most well-used speaker system.
Top Gun is superb entertainment, brought to HD DVD in absolutely top quality. Paramount has pulled out all the stops to make this HD product one of the "must have" releases of the fall.
There are no complaints from this viewer.
Great film. Great transfer.
Highly Recommended.
