    Fun movie to watch!

    by Kitt3ny

    Let me start by saying that I am like the only person on earth who had not seen this movie until this last week. I really enjoyed the 3D effects and the way they were used with the arial shots. I even enjoyed the feel good love story and the super cheezey 80's music. Made an awesome date movie. Overall... loved it!

    Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    by Quill474

    Absolutely the best movie ever made period. This version with the 3D was the best version yet. I was not expecting much going into the movie, only the chance to see the movie itself on the big screen again, but I was blown away by the effects. It was a totally immersed experience. They did a great job on this one. Even if you think the movie is very 80?s, and corny, which it?s not, you will love the action, the 3D effects and the sound!

    A new look at a classic!

    by

    I'm a Top Gun lover! My two boston terriers are named Merlin & Goose if that says anything. My wife and I went to see it at IMAX3D last night and we really enjoyed it. Like other reviewers have probably said, I'm not sure the 3D really had much effect. It was cool in some of the fighter scenes but overall, you could tell it was more of a forced marriage. It's an old movie shot long ago and you can tell. I was too young to have viewed this movie in a theater when it premiered so it was nice to finally watch it on the BIG screen. It's worthwhile to go see it but don't expect to be blown away. If you live in San Diego and they happen to play it on the IMAX dome at the science center...that's probably one that I wouldn't miss.

    MUST SEE

    by rabergel@nyc.rr.com

    Awesome! The flying scenes in 3D are a must see. Don't miss it if you have the chance not to. Also, you have to admire how well-preserved Tom Cruise remains till today. Liki him or not ( I like him alot....I think he's great at what he does), you have to appreciate his stick power all these years!

    Bravo!

    Great 3-D movie

    by adh77

    I definitely felt that this has been a great conversion to 3-D. There were only one or two scenes were I thought the 3-D detracted. Everywhere else it added a lot of depth and realism to the movie. I wish this was being done in more than just IMAX theatres as I know more people would go. If you're on the fence, do it.

    Top Gun 3D

    by sbbswalker

    Fantastic classic movie brought to life with 3D. The movie is known by nearly everyone from young to old. There is no change with the movie but the 3D was amazing and brought a new view to this classic. Whether you have seen a thousand times or never, it is worth seeing while you can.

    Sounded and looked amazing in IMAX

    by bboynicku

    Being one of my favorite movies i had to see it. The 3D didn't really do much for the movie because it wasn't made for 3D when in was filmed in 1986 obviously but the sound and picture quality were great! Nothing like seeing a movie like this on the big screen!

    Not really IMAX

    by CW2cJ

    What was I thinking. If it wasn't filmed with an IMAX camera then it won't be the full size IMAX. If it wasn't filmed in 3D then it won't be the 'out in the audience' 3D. There were scenes with the jets that did not turn out all that well and they were not clear and looked as if they were hanging from a string to be filmed. The 3D did add some depth but that was all. Top Gun is still a great movie but the added cost for the movie was all hype. They should have just brought it back even with the 3D but not call it IMAX. I will admit that I did not watch this at a true IMAX but at a conventional theater converted to a mini IMAX. The picture did not fill even this small screen (the aspect ratio was not correct). There was a space at the top and bottom of the screen just like showing a true theater aspect ration on your widescreen TV.

    Enhancement PLUS ! ! !

    by Leupold1

    Allegedly Tony Scott helped get this re-release done correctly before his demise, and he would be proud of the marvelous conversion to 3-d, and an all encompassing sound track, immersing the theatre goer in the world of TOP GUN.

    The plot is still fairly rote, But Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis non embellished characterizations allow them to give compelling performances. Even Val Kilmer had yet to develop his quirks, and by just presenting the character (less developed in the script than the two leads) becomes quite effective, as does Tom Skerritt's as is Anthony Edwards'.

    Cinematography and sound design are crisp and the lazy sun of coastal California has perhaps never been better captured and the flatness of many 80's films is absent here. The film could be a textbook on editing, directly contrasting mechanical and human realms to create the pulsing rhythm, emphasized by the sound track.

    An experience to be relished on the IMAX screen, worth extra admission costs.

    He was THAAAT young?

    by stevejolly

    A little dated, but the nice "classic 80's" flavor of this movie is enhanced by the generally excellent 3-D conversion. Great 3-D makes everything look more real, and very few of us will ever be flying at six miles up and Mach 2, or dogfighting a MIG, so "looks real" is a big treat. Cruise plays the ultra-handsome snotty little kid he mostly really was 30 years ago; he carries it well, and his edginess keeps nudging the ZOOOOOOM pace of the movie forward. The rest of the actors are top-gun and help carry a thin plot into the stratosphere; when you buy the ticket, you pretty much agree to not stop and think anything over too seriously. It's worth the premium price; you'll have real fun! You should go while Top Gun is on the Really Big Screen, so you can fly along with the theater-quality and very convincing 3-D that makes this re-release so special.

    Still Awesome

    by

    3D was unnecessary and didn't add much, but movie is still amazing, a couple of slightly extended scene were added, but it is what you remember.

    IMAX really makes this classic pop

    by KDM04

    If you like Top Gun you should definitely see it in IMAX. It makes the flying and aircraft carrier scenes even cooler! It's a great way to see this movie!
