Top Gun: Maverick is out now to buy on digital.
Pleasing fans is even more difficult and unlikely when the sequel comes along decades after the original: reviving a franchise after many years carries such a risk of the revival being dead on arrival.
But if anyone was going to beat the odds on this score, it was Tom Cruise, and that’s exactly what he did: 36 years after conquering the world with Top Gun, he roared back into the skies with Top Gun: Maverick and conquered it all over again. Incidentally achieving his highest grossing film of all time.
So far from dogfight aficionados sighing, “why did you have to bring it back?” lovers of the first film were left howling with delight, while newcomers to the Maverick-verse hollered for more.
Maverick was a jet-fuelled, supersonic home run, and a whole new benchmark was set for sequels that satisfied fan cravings and we now have the opportunity to experience the Top Gun one-two punch together at home, with the release of Top Gun: Maverick on digital platforms. This means getting to watch the awesome flight scenes again and again, and experience all the action in 4K from the comfort of your own Oodie.
The box office records that Top Gun: Maverick has already broken are astonishing, and the film shows no sign of landing just yet.
The other excellent advantage of back-to-back viewings of Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick is that as the second film was made in large part as a love letter to the first, it provides superb opportunities for comparison, identifying Easter eggs and references and enhancing the viewing experience by drawing links between the two.
The box office records that Top Gun: Maverick has already broken are astonishing. And the film shows no sign of landing just yet. Not only is the film Paramount Pictures’ biggest release ever, but Maverick and his high-flying recruits have also cracked the top three films of all time Down Under and joined the elite group of blockbusters that have broken the billion-dollar barrier globally.
Top Gun: Maverick sees Tom Cruise’s wildcard pilot older but not wiser as he trains a new generation of Top Gun pilots for a perilous mission behind enemy lines. With a cast that also boasts Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, John Hamm, Val Kilmer and a scene-stealing Glen Powell as the wildcard Hangman, some of the most stunning aerial stunts ever captured on celluloid, the airborne actioner is the real deal.
The authenticity greatly aided by the cast being filmed in real jets as they sped through the air. These are scenes that you’ll want to watch on repeat. No other film portrays the thrills and excitement of an aerial dog fight like Top Gun: Maverick.By watching two Top Guns in one sitting, you can really stamp yourself as an elite cinephile: one who absorbs movies at a far higher level than your average film fan.
The main point of a Top Gun marathon: the sheer exhilarating joy of reliving the adrenalin rush of the original, and following it up with a sequel that ups the ante with the action while retaining everything you loved about the first movie.
That being, mainly, astounding mid-air sequences, tough-guy quips, and awesome sunglasses.
So get your squadron together, line up the snack, oil up your biceps, keep some tissues handy for Goose in movie one and Iceman in movie two, and hold on tight. For as soon as Kenny Loggins starts singing, you know you’ve entered…the Danger Zone.
Top Gun: Maverick is now available to own on digital. Click here to buy it from your digital retailer of choice. Available to rent on digital from September 14. Coming to 4K Ultra-HD™, Blu-Ray™ and DVD November 2.
