Top Gun: Maverick

“Don’t think, just do.” What can I say about this movie that hasn’t already been said? Genuinely one of my favorite films in this decade so far. It was an absolute pleasure to watch it in IMAX for the first time. Seeing those IMAX ratio scenes felt majestic and special. Seeing the Mach 10 scene and of course the suicide mission and final dogfight in the F-14 fighter plane in IMAX just had me grinning from ear to ear the whole time. Joseph Kosinski is an amazing director and I need to watch more of his films. Everyone is fantastic in this movie. The writing is superb. It’s crazy to think that a lot of this all-star cast got their big breaks from this film. Monica Barbaro, Lewis Pullman, Glen Powell, even Miles Teller (although he was kind of a well known actor at the time). All got their big breaks from this movie. The cinematography in this movie is crazy good. Also, hearing Hold my Hand booming on the theater surround speakers again genuinely healed me. Everyone PLEASE catch this re-release in IMAX. It’ll change your life. Trust me.
