May 12, 20224 yr Not sure when the last time was that I saw universally glowing reviews like this. Definitely not what I was expecting. Hopefully the corresponding DLC for MSFS, which releases on the same day as the movie, will also be good. It's odd that we know next to nothing about it, even though it was originally developed and scheduled for release almost a year ago (July of 2021). Perhaps there's a surprise or two in store.. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/top_gun_maverick See it on the biggest screen possible. Then see it again.

May 12, 20224 yr Reviews are starting to come in. I predict some Oscars ! https://deadline.com/video/top-gun-maverick-review-tom-cruise-sequel/ "Cruise and the producers of Top Gun: Maverick waited too long to do a sequel? After all, it has been 36 years since Top Gun hit screens in 1986. Well, wonder no more. Not only is the timing right and execution of this long-gestating follow-up splendid, but it also actually tops the original in every way imaginable, from an all-knowing performance for the ages from Cruise to its highly emotional storyline," 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

May 14, 20224 yr Moderator I bought my tickets to the IMAX version for June 4th, so I’m excited to see it. Tried to get tickets for the release weekend but didn’t get in soon enough before all the good seats were sold out. I rarely go to the movies anymore just because I don’t have much interest 99% of the latest releases and some of the ones I wouldn’t mind seeing, I don’t mind waiting for release to Amazon. I think the last movie I went to see was the final Danial Craig 007 movie, No Time To Die. Unfortunately I didn’t like it nearly as much as Casino Royal, Quantum of Solace, Sky Fall or Spectre. I left the theater wishing I hadn’t spent $50 on two IMAX tickets. 😂😂 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
May 17, 20224 yr Its a good action movie with great flying sequences and occasional CGI. I didnt think it was anything exceptional but still a lot of fun! I feel a lot of the buzzing reviews are riding the nostalgia wave for millions of people around the world who rented the first one on VHS all those years ago. Edited May 17, 20224 yr by ThrottleUp
May 28, 20224 yr I found this on my twitter timeline, found it funny People complain of poor cinematographic adaptations of video games but TG : M is very faithful to the DCS World. The scenario is absolutely stupid, the mission doesn’t make sense, enemies are scattered at random but the aircraft cockpits are very faithful to reality. Original in French for those hungry for slightly vulgar colloquialisms (Les gens se plaignent des adaptations médiocres de jeux vidéo au cinéma mais Top Gun: Maverick est très fidèle à DCS World. Le scénario est complètement con, la mission n'a aucun sens, les ennemis sont disposés au pif, mais les cockpits des avions sont très fidèles à la réalité.. ) Dominique Simming since 1981 - [email protected] GHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 1080 with 8 GB VRAM running a 27" @ 2560*1440 - Windows 10 - Warthog HOTAS - MFG pedals - MSFS Standard version with Steam
May 28, 20224 yr I did not expect absolute realism where the "mission" was concerned (and I didn't get it), but I really enjoyed the movie. I would consider it to be a "feel good" experience, and...oh boy....do we need more of that after the past two years.

May 28, 20224 yr The last movie we went to a number of years ago was Brave, an animated film that looked good. I would have liked to sit through it to the end but after 20 minutes neither Betty nor I could stand the noise and we left. It was just too loud. I fear Maverick will be the same especially with FA/18s costarring. I'll be waiting for someone to tell me how loud it is. I don't want it vibrating my rib cage. That doesn't excite me...it just annoys me. Noel Edited May 28, 20224 yr by birdguy The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
