Top Gun 2: Maverick

This is true, the stuff they showed in the trailer (like flying between two other jets) isn't realistic but a lot of the rest was. Also it all appears to be immensely more realistic than any other aviation stuff hollywood does.
That's funny. Hope you made it. My son made Cobra Kai in a back ground scene in Season 3?? When Daniel went back to Okinawa.
I also am in a background scene in the Chicago airport for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. You can barely see me. However, I can see me really clear.
If the official Top Gun twitter feed says it's a Guaranteed adrenaline rush then it must be true.
'But the trailer!'
I remember when Jurassic Park was showing trailers that either showed it as a quasi comedy type or monster movie.
Then it was sort of both and either way not that good.
I will likely catch TG 2 but not in theaters or anything. I caught parts of Ghostbusters Afterlife and it didn't seem great but more enjoyable than the 2016 mess. They really screwed up there with the comedic talent available.
The more trailers I saw for Ghostbusters Afterlife the less I wanted to see it.
I liked the original teaser but after that, meh.
I think it's fine if it's not realistic, but I could just see some aviation nerds rolling their eyes at a few of those scenes. My understandibg of modern air combat is fighter jets are shooting medium range missiles at each other long before they can even see each other which doesn't sound near as exciting, so I'm fine with them spicing it up a little. It's not like the original was all that realistic either.

Straight up nostalgia play and I don't even ******* care.
Take my money, Tom Cruise.

Just watched the Behind Closed Doors episode on the original Top Gun this past weekend and it was a great watch. The original Top Gun nearly didn't happen because the pentagon wasn't sure they would sign off on it then after it was written it got shelved until Paramount had a new CEO that decided to green light it. A lot of interesting stories behind the making of that movie I was never aware of.
I'm with you. I'm going to wear my aviators, and I'm going to look for a bomber jacket. If I can't find that, I'm going shirtless with jeans.
I'll probably sing You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling to my wife and we'll make out to Take My Breath Away.
I'm a little disappointed that the ladies in the movie don't seem to have have big-old 80s hair.
I started a post about how there is no way this will be any good and I won't potentially even see it.
Then I watched the trailer.
Yeah... I am going to see it.

No unnecessary chase scene through traffic after she takes a dig in front of your colleagues to confess that she's fallen for you while also still summarizing your flying skills evaluation beforehand?
What kind of fan are you?
Would.I wish my girls were still little so that I could buy this and pretend it wasn't for me.
There's no way that I'm not going to relive a cheesy part of my glory years for about 2.5 hours. Heck, my glory years were the 80's and early 90's. It was all cheesy.
