Watch the making of on youtube.  Very little CGI.  The flying was real.

Yeah the only sequences that were primarily CGI were the ones with the F-14, given there aren’t any that can fly any more. (At least any that a Hollywood movie production could get ahold of).

The rest of it was using CGI to fudge real shots somewhat like when Maverick splits the two Super Hornets with his... really any time it shows the jets really close together…. But yeah probably 90%+ of the shots of the jets flying AND the actors in the cockpits were real, which is astonishing.

For posters like this guy who are bagging on the movie, I feel it’s important to describe the importance of the original Top Gun movie to this country. And apologize for the novel, but I’d like to sha

The people who were upset when I wore an SS uniform to a Schindler’s List screening in 1993 owe me an apology.

It's perfectly okay for you to think this movie was "mediocre". You said it yourself: you were born in the 80's, which means it's impossible for you to understand the context of the original, and ther

When the pilots were gathered at their briefing with Don Draper, and we see that Mav is gonna run the simulation that was probably the most exciting part of the movie for me.  Even though I knew he was gonna make it, it was still badass.

There was such a collective assumption that making a Top Gun sequel was a horribly bad idea, and I took it for granted, as well.  But they treated the material and the previous movie with loving respect, and what a triumph it turned out to be.

Les Grossman is amazing. I don’t know if that could be the basis for an entire movie but I’m down to see them try. 

les grossman is fucking hilarious.  there are a million storylines that could built around a character like that.  it will be awesome.

Just watched it at home in 4K. Damn. The parts that really impressed me were the high G maneuvers where you could see the blood draining from their faces.

JC has held up well. Hamm does his Don Draper to perfection. I'd love to see the outtakes.

Yes tickets cost more these days and many of us saw it multiple times in IMAX or Dolby Cinema, but Maverick just passed Avengers IW for 6th all-time on the domestic list. Damn cool.

I just cannot believe that anybody would not like this movie. It is awesome. 

This movie is a litmus test for whether I can trust you. If you did not like this movie, you kick dogs, pirate other people's wi-fi, and steal parking spaces. 

96 with critics and 99 with audiences on RT.  You're gonna be hard pressed to find anyone that doesn't like it.

So, finally watched at home tonight and had a few thoughts:

1) The audio mix is lackluster and I expect more from Atmos. This shit should wallop, but it’s a bunch of single channel simplicity.

2) There were few scenes that I felt could have been handled better upon a second viewing, but the last 5 minutes were a highlight. Here, the dialogue was lacking and the usage of a soundstage for the tighter shots was a disservice.

3) Who fucking cares it’s all

Streaming audio compression is shit, especially for Atmos. 
 

Get the blue ray or UHD disc for the full soundtrack. 
 

Disc vs iTunes Movie purchase is night and day

sequence of thought while watching this:

1. hangman is annoying and this is a cheap 80s pastiche

2. okay actually its getting good

3. cant believe this movie is ending without a Tom Cruise Run

4. lollll he's fucking running!

5. oh my god, they brought back the greatest fighter jet of all time

6. is tom cruise the tom brady of movies or is tom brady the tom cruise of football?  goddamn this movie kicks ass
