Top Gun; Maverick (2022): Movie Review

Plot: 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. Training a detachment of graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it.

Review: Top Gun: Maverick,” the breathless, gravity and logic-defying movie.

Despite coming more than three decades after the late Tony Scott’s original, the Top Gun sequel somehow makes perfect sense.

In fact, Tom Cruise deserves a lot of admiration for his steadfast dedication to Hollywood theatrics and the astounding levels of physical skill he consistently puts on display by insisting to perform all of his own stunts.

“Top Gun” is—the identical one that introduced us to the world of crème-de-la-crème Navy pilots in 1986—we find Maverick in a role on the fringes of the US Navy, working as an undaunted test pilot against the familiar backdrop of Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone.”

You won’t be surprised that soon enough, he gets called on a one-last-job type of mission as a teacher to a group of recent Top Gun graduates. Their assignment is just as obscure and politically cuckoo as it was in the first movie.

There is an unnamed enemy—let’s called it Russia because it’s probably Russia—some targets that need to be destroyed, a flight plan that sounds nuts, and a scheme that will require all successful Top Gun recruits to fly at dangerously low altitudes. But can it be done

HITS: The action sequences are much more thrilling and immersive than in the original.

NOTE: The actors underwent intense flight training and flew actual planes during shooting.
