Today’s Home Entertainment landscape is a minefield of possibilities. So, who better to guide you through those turbulent digital skies than Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the high-flying Top Gun sequel that has taken the world by storm?
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. With all this talk of cinematic achievements, the big question is when and how you will be able to watch the year’s biggest film? And when is sooner than you think!
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, Jon 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 is 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.
It’s not often that you get to spend some quality time with one of the biggest stars in the world. In your own living room! But by buying or renting in glorious ultra-sharp 4k on a host of digital sites including Prime Video, Google TV, the Apple TV app and Telstra TV Box Office you can do just that. Next week!
And when the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets break the sound barrier to the tune of Kenny Loggins’ “Dangerzone” one more time, you’ll be reaching again and again for the play button.
TOP GUN: MAVERICK available to Buy on Digital August 24 and and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD November 2
