      I love it! During the opening scene in the cinema, when the music came on , I just gave out a loud, "Woo Hoo!" And started clapping. My friend seated next to me, had to tell me to relax. Lol! It was somewhat emotional for me since I first watched Top Gun as a 15 year old boy back in the day.

      I think you need someone to review your scripts. For example, at 3:50 you say "attesting to one of the most skilled actors" when the correct usage would have been, "a testament to one of the most skilled actors." The rest of your video is similarly littered with such occasional usage errors.

      Not kidding.
      We watched it in a traditionally small cinema in our town.
      Then we drove (in total) 3 hours to get to an IMAX the next weekend. (Hint: Holy sh...)
      When we finally convinced our father to go see it, we also would have driven 3 hours to the IMAX again, but the whole cinema was booked for Jurassic whatever. So we went to the regular cinema again.
      My father is not a particular fan of Tom Cruise (he actually didn't want to watch the film BECAUSE he is in it) and also wasn't a hard core fan of the first film.
      After the film was finished, he thanked us for convincing him. He genuinely enjoyed it (he usually never watches a film, even less in cinema, maybe 2x every 10 years) and when we peeked, he had some tears in his eyes.
      So, if this movie gets a recommendation coming from my dad, a guy who hates entertainment industry, disdains Tom Cruise and going to cinema in general, it should be taken seriously. Go. Watch. This. Film.
      If you can get Dolby Atmos or IMAX, pull the trigger.
      And let us show with our wallets that we want good movies, not sub par CGI trash fests.

    I haven't been to the cinema in years, as a filmmaker so many recent movies have been so uninspiring and missed the mark for me that I didn't feel the need to bother. Even just the opening sequence was enough to induce tingles and tears in the edges of my eyes. This entire movie was flawlessly executed, from the incredible sound design, to the grade, the homages to the original and of course the jet and action sequences. The original Top Gun is obviously a classic but it feels like a pamphlet in comparison to this film. The limitations of 1980's cinema could not do the story the justice it deserved and while it took 36 years, the evolution of cinema could not have had a more worthy candidate of a reboot than Top Gun.

    I saw it in Titan Luxe and IMAX. The last movie I saw with an advanced system was probably Rogue One (I watch most movies in the regular theater).

      You are right, the IMAX sound systems are usually impressive. I'm sure Rogue One was a treat in that environment. The last movie I saw in IMAX was Blade Runner 2049.

    This movie was intentional in regards to giving movie goers a seat in the cockpit and taking them on a heart-stopping ride. The story did well to pay tribute to the first TOPGUN and took liberties that would never “fly” in real world Naval Aviation. However, Mav stayed true to his rebellious ways all the way to making it seem virtuous. Great finish to a beloved character. Definitely, see it on the big screen with bigger sound.

    The beginning brought tears to my eyes. Brought back so many memories of meeting my Navy husband around that time in San Diego and watching Top Gun together. That being said, I give it a 7/10. Good but not great. It was great to see it in a theater, though, and I wish my elderly father could enjoy it that way, too.

      That is so nice to hear how the film brought back such emotions. I think everyone has a different take/experience with this movie. Thanks for sharing!
