@@jeanp.5929 Exactly what I was thinking! Avatar HFR completely blew me away in the theatre, so I see that as a serious contender, should it be released on 4K disc.
For me it was the three original Star Wars films in theaters as a child. And the 90s, when 5 groundbreaking films would release each month sometimes. Maverick is a very good film, but since the slow death of theaters which began several years ago, even a “very good” film feels legendary, relatively speaking.
I got the steelbook yesterday. I spent like 5 hours going from store to store looking for it. But they were all out of stock. I finally managed to find one at the 7th store I went to. It was also the last one on the shelf
Waiting for this release reminds me of the good old days when every movie took months before you got a VHS release. It was a special day when you got to pick up your own copy. I felt that same feeling getting my 4k copy of this movie.
I loved this in IMAX so much! But I will have to say, I still considered The Batman was still my favorite IMAX experience haha. That batmobile scene is legendary!!
My dad saw the original with my uncle in a theatre filled with navy men cause there was a base nearby. Said it was one of his favorite theatre experiences. Fast forward 36 years later and I saw Maverick in theaters with him and yet again he said it was one of his favorite theatre experiences. Our only regret is not seeing it in IMAX cause holy crap, this movie was made to be seen on the big screen
I, too, missed experiencing it in IMAX, but was able to go EMAX (Emagine Theater's version -- a little smaller, but had Dolby Atmos!). I also agree, big screen was a must (I went 4x).
@@Mr04041957 i wih our 4dx regal had atmos, the sound was kinda low and not to powerful. but thats okay, after watching it on 4k blu ray. the atmos sounded incredible on a5.1.4 system would watch it again realy soon :D never heard of emax till when you posted ur coment. lol
I saw it in 70mm IMAX. It was incredible and, to me, better than the original movie. The fact that there was very little CGI used and that the cast was riding in the backseat of F/A-18 Super Hornets pulling some serious G-forces and operating the six IMAX cameras mounted on the display panel is beyond impressive. l picked up the 4K release today and try to watch it in the next few days.
There is a ton of CGI in the movie, it's just very well done and mostly used as enhancement of the real thing. It looks so good because the artists had a good frame of reference. Check out C. W. Lemoine's channel, he interviewed one of the artists and they went through multiple scenes even he (being a real fighter jet pilot) thought are real.
CGI is in everything. The marketing strategy never said they did not use computer generated effects, just that the actors were in the planes. They didn't say the actors actually flew and controlled the planes, but just that they rode and acted in the air. Somehow, the commoners interpret that as "NO CGI! Actors flying the planes!"
Grabbed the steel book yesterday from Best Buy. My store only had 3 steel book copies which they had to pull from the back, and only a dozen or so regular blu-ray and 4k's. When I asked an employee, she didn't even know what Top Gun or a steel book was. She looked at me like I was a geezer looking for an 8-track. We are defiantly not going to have physical media in stores much longer. Totally agree on the quality of the disc. Was blown away by the quality on my LG OLED and new Panasonic DP-UB820.
That’s sad. Best Buy of all places should know what a 4k Blu-ray is. They have huge Magnolia home theater setups in their stores, but then stop selling physical media? It’s ridiculous. I’m not spending thousands on my system to stream Netflix. lol
As soon as I saw this movie in theatres, I pre-ordered the 4K. The one I ordered is an original Top Gun and Maverick 4K combo, hopefully it’ll show up soon! Stoked to hear that it’ll be worth the wait!
Great review... if Tom Cruise can revive interest in the movie theater experience, he can do the same with physical media. This is the perfect title to showcase the format's capabilities regardless of thoughts on the film... so happy to hear it's lived up to the hype as you say.
I pre-ordered the 4k double feature set of both movies. I got it yesterday. I'm so happy about the quality! I haven't watched the original movie 4k disc yet, but if it' anything like the effort they put into the Maverick, then I'm sure it won't disappoint.
picking it up later on today! so stoked to watch it again. saw it twice in an IMAX theater and it was the best experience i’ve had since lockdown ended.
Got my copy yesterday....such a well put together sequel and think it even surpasses the original film and that's not an easy ride. All I need now is a decent Dolby Atmos system to go with my 75" Samsung OLED TV!
I bought it on your review. I purchased the digital off iTunes previously but you convinced me to buy again. I do it from time to time. LG G2 77”, 5.1.4 sound system.
Great review! I'm usually blown away more by picture than the sound, but this was the rare instances where the sound was the major noticing point for me. Sure the picture is amazing but experiencing the opening scene withscore and even supporting sounds, the bass blew me away, I had just watched the original Top Gun so maybe that is why the comparison seemed fresh. Unfortunately I'm only 19 minutes in so far as I have short windows with work and family where I can watch movies with decent volumes, but I'm looking foward to continuing soon!
Fun fact about the lenticular cover on the Walmart steelbook: it's a magnet! Which is really cool and makes total sense for alternate cover art for steelbooks. It is currently on my refrigerator.
Saw this in the cinema and on streaming. Everything you've said is accurate. 4k disc is amazing! The only other recent disc I'd put up there with it on audio and video quality alone is Ambulance.
One of the best IMAX experiences I’ve had. Up there with TDK, TDKR, Interstellar, and Ghost Protocol even tho it was IMAX digital rather than IMAX film. Couldn’t wait for the 4K release and held out on digital even with the delayed physical release. Similar to Nolan’s 4K releases, the 4K release of Top Gun Maverick is absolutely spectacular. Saw it last night and was in awe. An absolute must have jaw dropper. Completely agree with this release being one of the best ever.
I saw this at the cinema and it blew me away. The while cinema shook during the flight scenes. I’ve also watched it about 20 times on digital, but I cannot wait to get my physical copy. Great review as always.
This is THE standard in audio and visual. I dont see any films beating this anytime soon especially the audio. Be careful with your speaker settings if you dont have subs. This has a lot of punching low frequencies that are meant to be crossed over to subs. Best Buy is playing this disc as a demo to show off their best AV equipment.
It was actually originally scheduled for a summer 2019 release but was then pushed back to fall 2019. Then it got pushed back to may 2020 but of course because of the pandemic it was delayed even further. I had read that they were thinking about releasing it direct to streaming and skipping a theatrical release because of the delays, but Tom Cruise insisted that it be released in theaters as he wanted people to see it in all its IMAX glory.
Christopher Nolan wanted the same for Tenet as well as the new James Bond. Unfortunately they didn't wait quite long enough. It wasn't till Spiderman No Way Home and The Batman that people really started heading back to the movies. Top Gun definitely did something special.
The sound on this disc is so crisp and clean. The LFE goes really deep, it feels like you can crank the main volume an extra 5-10db than normal and it'll still sound clean.
Saw it in an iMAX theater, then preordered the 4k but couldn't wait so I bought the 4k digital streaming to tide me over until the hard copy got here lol. Received it yesterday and it does look amazing. My only wish is that it could have been in HDR10+ too. It's Dolby Vision and HDR10, but not HDR10+. But somehow, I'll survive 😁
If you have the digital 4k copy set up a movies anywhere account. Then if you watch it on Amazon video it'll most likely play in HDR 10 plus. I do this for my Samsung TV and I was pleasantly surprised how many of my 4k digitals played in HDR10 +.
Incredible on 4K UHD - amazing. For me the video was 9.5/10, audio was an 8.5/10. The video was almost flawless, I would have given it a 10/10 but I did catch just a few seconds of softness in a couple scenes. It's probably 99.5% razor sharp though. I agree that the audio was very well balanced but I thought it was missing a touch of bass impact. From what I've seen the Atmos effects are almost 100% static with no real panning. I don't have Atmos currently so I can't really comment much on it, just from what I've seen from other reviews with software monitor height activity. I imagine that would be a bit of a negative. Overall I agree that this is one of the best 4K discs available.
Even the regular 2K Blu-ray looks and sounds fantastic when upconverted to 4K via the player. In brightly lit scenes, you can see every pore in everybody's face, especially the black dude who was the ground tech crew there at the end on the carrier. I was amazed at the detail on that shot.
Seeing this in IMAX was probably the #2 best film experience ive ever had. (#1 is Jurassic Park back in 1993 for me). Wish theyd do a limited run in IMAX again.
Picked up the movie this past Sat, all I can say is wow!!! Was blown away withvthr story, thr quality as 8m not running a 4k projector I settled with the blu-ray version
I picked up this movie, the steelbook version, yesterday and watched it. agree that this is the best 4K movie I have watched with my home theater so far Tom Curise = quality
Can't wait to get mine. I'm in for the 2 pack as I haven't upgraded the OG yet. I knew this movie would get me to upgrade. Already did the player. Soon going from 5.1 to 7.1. Maybe upgrade sub soon or wait til new receiver. TV is older 4k but still looks good. When I saw this in Imax, I was seriously impressed & knew it cost me $6k easily down the road.
The one I bought was the double feature 4K+digital copy which included Top Gun and Maverick both in 4K in 1 case from Amazon. Maverick was filmed in 6K by the way.
10/10 for picture quality, so much detail! 7/10 for audio, the Atmos was very substandard, LFE channel lacking, 3d objects almost non existent. 10/10 for center channel dialogue, absolutely clear!
I got the Walmart steelbook edition 3 days early (somehow), so I got to enjoy it over the weekend and LOVE this 4K! Couldn't agree w/ you more that movies like this, Ambulance, Dune, etc. are the reasons you need to upgrade to 4K w/ Atmos capable systems. The Walmart steelbook also came w/ a pretty cool 3D magnetic cover piece you can take on or off, so I recommend that one too. Worth the $!
I'm not sure if it's featured but my standard Blu-ray played on my 4k player plays this movie in HDR. Very cool never had a standard Blu-ray play in HDR before this title
I've never seen either of these movies and I tried getting the first for $8 on black Friday but couldn't get it fast enough before it sold out so I just paid the $40 for the 4k 2 pack. Can't wait for it to come and get time to watch these movies
Saw this twice in IMAX. Great film! Bought my 4K Steelbook. Outstanding picture and sound as expected. IMAX scenes are out of this world! Top bluray 4K of the year!
OMG, I agree 110%...this has to be the best and epitome of 4K discs right now. I can't fault the presentation. I wish more were up to this standard, but here's hoping! Also, keep up the good work bro.
Just watched the 4k disc a couple of days ago on my 4k TV, Atmos setup. This review is absolutely spot on. Absolutely phenomenal image and sound combined with a great film.
It’s so nice to enjoy a real blockbuster movie for once I mean we need a break from the sci-fi movies like Star Wars, even superhero movies like the avengers and all that stuff
The opening sequence with soundtrack is absolutely one of the best things i have seen heard on my system. Video quality differences between streaming and bluray are subjective and even when obvious not a deal breaker for me. what is obvious and a deal breaker is the subpar audio of streaming. This disc jumps to life, taking full advantage of my 3 subs and all of my speakers are roaring. The joy of uncompressed, full dynamic range audio on this disc is worth every penny
The picture is so good that when I watched it this past weekend on a friends 1080, probably 6 year old Samsung set, it looked like a pristine 4k image. Can't wait to pop this into my OLED.
Let’s get this channel to 100k subs! SMASH THAT BUTTON! 😂
Would you say the visuals are better than Gemini Man.
FYI the steelbook is paired with a blu ray!
@@jeanp.5929 Exactly what I was thinking! Avatar HFR completely blew me away in the theatre, so I see that as a serious contender, should it be released on 4K disc.

@@ANDRE1mang I saw The Batman in Dolby and that batmobile scene shook the theater like crazy.
Dune as well
@@pretentiouscameron7815 Nice!! I bet it that was fricken epic. That batmobile screech just sent shivers down my spine the first time I heard it.
The variety of releases is staggering. Standard 4k, Steelbook, bundle 4k, bundle 4k steelbook collectors edition. They really went all out.
Same here, i bought most of them, lol.
Which one do you recommend?
Saw it on the IMAX cinema. It was the first time in many many years that I really LOVED going to the cinema.
Watched this on 4k. Possibly the best looking 4k movie I've seen so far. The picture is perfect as is the sound quality.

D-Box was the best experience because of the moving seats! It made you feel like you were in the jets. Super cool and super fun! Went 3 times 😎 🏍️
Started watching the 4K disk last night, and was instantly blown away by the visuals. A top-3 disk, easily!
What's in the top 3 or 5 4k discs?

Just finished it. Movie was amazing! 4K all the way. Long live physical media
Almost $1.5 bil actually, pre-ordered the steel book months ago... can't wait to see it.

This title is astounding. I can’t believe we can now get this quality at home.
Absolutely agree. When it finished I said to myself : BEST 4K disc EVER. Image 10/10 and audio is just 10000000/10000000

Too bad you missed it in theaters, especially IMAX - The most stunning and entertaining movie I've seen in 20 years.
Just got the steelbook today. Can't wait to watch it for the first time! In 4k no less. Though I heard it was amazing in the theater.
Put it this way, I felt a bit travel sick watching it. Unbelievable cinematography.
Didn't realize they shot it on a Sony VENICE, the same camera that Avatar 2 used. Looking forward to seeing how Avatar 2 looks.
Hey Jeff...what other 4K movie(s) in terms of class would you put with Top Gun: Maverick?
Dune (2021), blade runner 2049, the Revenant.
So looking forward to getting this!
It's still in the theatre in my town here in Finland. Think I'll finally go watch it saturday.
Just FYI, the 4K Steelbook versions of this movie DO come with a Blu-ray included.
D-Box was the best experience! The moving seats made it super cool and super fun!!! 😎 🏍️
Can't wait to get mine. I'm in for the 2 pack as I haven't upgraded the OG yet. I knew this movie would get me to upgrade. Already did the player. Soon going from 5.1 to 7.1. Maybe upgrade sub soon or wait til new receiver. TV is older 4k but still looks good. When I saw this in Imax, I was seriously impressed & knew it cost me $6k easily down the road.
I bought a brand new 4K blu ray player, and a 4K Hdmi cable just so I could watch this movie. Worth every penny.
Man the hype level Jeff is through the roof! Can’t wait to give my 16 ultra a decent workout!
Eager to watch this again and experience it on my home theater. Glad it's such a good disc release.
The one I bought was the double feature 4K+digital copy which included Top Gun and Maverick both in 4K in 1 case from Amazon. Maverick was filmed in 6K by the way.
This is easly one of the greatest action movies ever in history of cinema. Stunning.
10/10 for picture quality, so much detail!
7/10 for audio, the Atmos was very substandard, LFE channel lacking, 3d objects almost non existent.
10/10 for center channel dialogue, absolutely clear!
It looks BETTER than the theatre. But most 4ks do to me.
Omg I've just brought the blu ray of top gun maverick, it is sensational, the sound is Dolby Atmos and is fantastic, the pq, is absolutely fantastic
Just a quick note, if you purchased the steelbook, it contains both the 4k disc and the blu ray disc.

Saw this twice in IMAX. Great film! Bought my 4K Steelbook. Outstanding picture and sound as expected. IMAX scenes are out of this world! Top bluray 4K of the year!
Snagged the steelbook. Amazing release!
OMG, I agree 110%...this has to be the best and epitome of 4K discs right now. I can't fault the presentation. I wish more were up to this standard, but here's hoping! Also, keep up the good work bro.
I got the double pack of top gun. I’m literally waiting to see the films until I can buy the Sony x700 ultra 4K player!
But if u buy the steelbook editions then u get the bluray disc with it. Didn't know if u knew that or not.
Just watched the 4k disc a couple of days ago on my 4k TV, Atmos setup. This review is absolutely spot on. Absolutely phenomenal image and sound combined with a great film.
I pre-ordered this 4K! But as soon as I found out about the huge steelbook that includes the original: plus a ton of extras (dog tags, lithographs…)
I got the steelbook version & it did come with a blu-ray.
Has the pleasure to watch Top Gun Maverick in IMAX, worth every penny!
It’s so nice to enjoy a real blockbuster movie for once I mean we need a break from the sci-fi movies like Star Wars, even superhero movies like the avengers and all that stuff
Thanks for the review. I just received my 4k steelbook. Now I’m even more excited to watch it tonight.
The opening sequence with soundtrack is absolutely one of the best things i have seen heard on my system. Video quality differences between streaming and bluray are subjective and even when obvious not a deal breaker for me. what is obvious and a deal breaker is the subpar audio of streaming. This disc jumps to life, taking full advantage of my 3 subs and all of my speakers are roaring. The joy of uncompressed, full dynamic range audio on this disc is worth every penny
The picture is so good that when I watched it this past weekend on a friends 1080, probably 6 year old Samsung set, it looked like a pristine 4k image. Can't wait to pop this into my OLED.
My 4K BR disc set with both TG movies arrived yesterday. 😃👍🏻
Saw this in IMAX at the Air and Space Museum in Virginia. Just outside the theater was a SR-71 Blackbird, what an experience it was!
I might have to finally get a 4K TV now... my Sony Bravia LED from 2010 is finally starting to get a bit long in the tooth... haha.
