Hell, even as CG effects improved, fighter plane movies were basically non-existent ( Stealth's a boat-load of flashy fun, but also a Box Office bomb that only further nailed this coffin), leaving Top Gun the defining movie for four decades, and many generations of viewers, becoming so mythical that nobody would even want to try to go near it. The aspect ratios vary between 2.39:1 and 1.90:1. It seems most of the land-based and non-action scenes are presented in the wider 2.39:1 format, while the airborne scenes all come closer to square IMAX format at 1.90:1. The taller format allows a bigger image that makes the scenes more immersive and closer to the action for the viewer.

Much of the character-driven drama takes priority with precise, clear dialogue that remains that way above the commotion, allowing audiences to enjoy every emotional moment and hear every inflection in each of the performances. Impressively, those quieter, dialogue-heavy sequences are nonetheless layered with the commotion of people chattering all around in Penny's bar, or the busy commotion of military activity can be heard in the distance and from above while at school. Other such scenes taking place indoors even have a natural light echoing effect from the characters talking to each other. Imaging continuously feels broad and spacious with an exceptional sense of presence, as an assortment of noises fluidly travels between the three channels and into the front heights, creating a highly-engaging half-dome wall of sound that's sustained to the very end. At the same, an outstanding mid-range exhibits superb detailing and distinction in the upper frequencies during the loudest segments while the score delivers striking definition in the orchestration with warmth and amazing fidelity while bleeding all around. P.S. – The iconic beach volleyball scene has been supplanted by a beach football scene. Sorry for the spoiler. Video: How’s it look?

La verdad en cuanto a historia, no se me hizo nada extraordinario. Me pareció que la idea era simplemente revivir la nostalgia de la primera película.

English Dolby Atmos, French-Parisian, Portuguese-Brazilian, Spanish-Latin American Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround, Japanese TV Tokyo – Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Surround, Japanese Fuiji TV – Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono As with previous lossless mixes, much of the design is a front-heavy presentation, but rear activity comes alive during the dogfights, expanding the soundfield with the noise of F-14s screaming in the surrounds and echoing through the overheads. There are a couple moments when the jetplanes distinctly fly above the listening area and into view, but ultimately, the top heights do a majority of the leg work in widening and heightening the action. The real winner, in the end, are the memorable songs, filling not only the entire soundscape but also subtly bleeding into the sides and overheads for a satisfyingly good time.

The 80s action classic lands on Ultra HD with a pair of new supplements while the rest of the bonus features ported over from previous releases are on the accompanying Blu-ray disc.

The tour de force climax of the movie leaves viewers emotionally exhausted with giant grins and cheering for more. It ranks up there with the best action sequences in all of film. The audio is immersive and dynamic even with a pair of good headphones and a decent bass threshold. We tested on a pair of Apple AirPods Max, Bose, and Sony studio monitors and all sounded great. Of course, you don’t get that full spatial effect that happens in a controlled area with multiple speakers in surround sound positions.
