I expected Top Gun Maverick to be amazing and it exceeded my expectations. My wife and I saw it in XD at the theater. This is not a movie to see at home.

What a movie. Just go see it already!!

My Home Theater begs to differ.

But yeah, my good friend watched it today in XD and really enjoyed it.
I'll probably wait on this one on digital.

The original Matrix is on that list too, I remember seeing it with my gf and wanting to stay in the theater to see it again, was mind blowing at the time, the new one? I grabbed a few beers to get into it

The first was outstanding though.

I was worried. How could this movie live up to the original? Good to hear.

Lost a little hope when I saw Top Gun Maverick and AppleBees did a tv commercial together. Thought this can't be a good sign.

I was worried too. I they did an outstanding job of leveraging the original story and paying it homage without just making a redo.

Give it a shot.

This exactly! I was 16 when I watched TopGun back then and was flabbergasted at least. This was way more than a fantastic deja vu.

At the beginning of the movie they play more or less this one. And it's all over the place in the movie. Just like that distinct Bond tune in 007 movies. GOOSEBUMPS and what not.....



I'm so oldskool

9.5/10 for me.

Cheers
Robin

That's Steve Stevens playing guitar. I know him from when he played with Billy Idol. Did not know he played on the Top Gun Anthem.

Completely agree.
The only modern bond movies that I've really enjoyed are Goldeneye and Casino Royale.

Well, they say everything is bigger in Texas!

You'll want to see this movie more than once. I'd say go see it in XD and then again on your home system when it is available. Then you will get two awesome experiences!

Top Gun Maverick was awesome! So much nostalgia! Really takes me back to a young age when I first saw it on video. Say what you will about Tom Cruise, but he is one of my favorite actors.

Totally agree! Awesome movie! Brought back a lot of great memories. I first saw TopGun when I was 16, and now my son who is 16 just saw TopGun Maverick! Sends chills up my spine. We are both fans!

I saw TGM yesterday, back row, nearly middle

I went in prepared to be disappointed

I was wrong!

Saw in in standard since there were like 8 of us and the niece bought us all tickets

Will be going back for a better view

They really pushed the envelop of what airplanes can do
