Top Gun: Maverick
OMG: If you are a fan of the original 1986 TOP GUN film you need to get online and order tickets at your nearest IMAX/Surround Sound theater right now!
This film does not disappoint in any way shape or form!
“Thirty-plus years of service. Combat medals. Citations. Only man to shoot down three enemy planes in the last 40 years. Yet you can’t get a promotion, you won’t retire, and despite your best efforts, you refuse to die.”
After waiting for years for this film to be released…..it was worth it to be back in the theater and experience an amazing action packed film like this. Although its a sequel - it's actually much more enjoyable than I had anticipated.
Callbacks to the original are expertly done along with the new cast. Sound track will get you moving in throughout the film. But the flying scenes are what makes this movie. You’ll feel like your in the cockpit making it as real as ever.
Story is very interesting and tied in perfectly with the previous ‘86 film.
Its a great watch - I'd highly recommend it, though naturally would suggest watching the previous film first if you haven't already.
After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him.
