    Top Gun Maverick Movie Description:
    Top Gun: Maverick is a 2022 American action drama film directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer and Christopher McQuarrie from stories by Peter Craig and Justin Marks. The film is a sequel to the 1986 film Top Gun. Tom Cruise reprises his starring role as the naval aviator Maverick. It was based on the characters of the original film created by Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr. The film also stars Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris and Val Kilmer, who reprises his role as Iceman. In the film, Maverick confronts his past while training a group of younger Top Gun graduates, including the son of his deceased best friend, for a dangerous mission.
    Development on a Top Gun sequel was announced in 2010 by Paramount Pictures. Cruise, along with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott, were asked to return. Craig wrote a draft of the screenplay in 2012, but the project stalled when Scott died later that year. The film was later dedicated to Scott's memory. Production resumed in 2017 after Kosinski was hired to direct. Principal photography which involved the use of IMAX-certified 6K full-frame cameras, took place from May 2018 to April 2019 in California, Washington and Maryland. An initial release date was scheduled for July 12, 2019, but it was delayed several times due to the complex action sequences and the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, several streaming companies attempted to purchase the streaming rights to the film from Paramount, but all offers were declined on the orders of Cruise, who insisted the film be released exclusively in theaters.
    Top Gun: Maverick premiered at CinemaCon on April 28, 2022 and was theatrically released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on May 27, 2022, in IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX, and Dolby Cinema. The film was acclaimed by critics, with many calling it better than the original. It won Best Film from the National Board of Review and was also named one of the top ten films of 2022 by the American Film Institute. The film was nominated for six awards at the 95th Academy Awards (including Best Picture), winning Best Sound and received numerous other accolades. It grossed $1.493 billion worldwide, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2022 and the highest-grossing film of Cruise's career.

Top Gun 2 is a return to that and I hope it remains to stay.

    The Maverick and Iceman scene proved that despite being rivals in the past. Iceman always had his back after Goose dead. Iceman was Maverick's wingman outside of a plane and even in his last breath was drawn Iceman always had Maverick's back later in life.
    Also, one thing I love about this film. They succeed to make new characters interesting in just one movie. Rooster, Hangman, Phoenix and Payback are some of the best newcomers in this film. Hangman remind me of Iceman and his rivalry between Rooster remind of the rivalry between Iceman and Maverick. This is notalgia done right.

    The original movie is timeless. But this, this was....as close to perfection as Hollywood can deliver. This was the best produced movie I've seen in decades. The cinematography, the heart. Like you said, it wasn't a cash grab, they wanted to deliver a great product, and they did. It won the Oscar for best sound, but I think it deserved so many more. I enjoy other movies like Marvel movies and Everything Everywhere, but I LOVE this movie.

      I will agree, that this film deserved a lot more wins. Production wise, it is amazing. It wasn’t best picture worthy, but production, editing, cinematography, adapted screenplay all stellar. I really think it should have taken more wins at the academy awards. All Quiet on the Western Front won both production and cinematography, Everything Everywhere won best editing, Women Talking won adapted screenplay. I think this film should have walked away with at least 4 awards. All Quiet was it’s stiffest competition. If the academy had an award for most impactful to the industry, as voted by the academy and fans alike, this would have taken the award.

    Retired Navy lady here. I joined in 1993, eight years or so after TG came out. Loved the original and was a big reason why I joined the Navy vs another branch. Seeing TGM after serving 22 years was a different experience than when watching TG, and not only because of my age difference. I have mixed feelings about this movie. As a huge fan of the original, I absolutely love this sequel. As a sailor, my heart swelled with pride watching, yet had a lot of heartache and pain, too, and not because of some inaccuracies of proper military protocol. Overall, I F-ing loved the movie. Just wow.
    All three actors who played the Admirals were spot on. I felt properly intimidated when they were on-screen. And no, I didn’t like Jon Hamm’s character, either, until after a few times watching it. Tom and Val as a Captain and Admiral felt a little different. I didn’t feel as though I was seeing high ranking officers; had to remind myself of their rank to get a bigger impact of the dynamics, something I couldn’t do with the original. Military experience has given me a different perspective.
    I would strongly suggest watching the behind the scenes to understand to what lengths they went to to ensure they not only got it right, but to add realism to the movie. Few-to-no green screens used and CGI is relatively minimal. (Don’t hate on the Tomcat scene, y’all.). No, most of the actors did not learn how to fly, but did go through rigorous flight training to be able to pull off looking like pilots. Watch the behind the scenes. ALL of them. Trust me. Especially for the cinematography aspects.
    We invent and play some…interesting sports in the military. Changes things up and we have fun. Two that come to mind are ultimate football and walleyball - not VOLLEYball. I absolutely loved playing both. Walleyball is volleyball played in a racquetball court, the ball is made of racquetball material. Walls are used. Fun, fun, fun! Ultimate football is kind of a cross of soccer and football. Played with a football which is thrown or tossed (passed) from person to person. No kicking like in soccer, but gameplay is similar to it. The person with the ball cannot move, can only pass. Really friggin fun. Exercise without realizing it’s exercise.
    Jennifer Connelly plays Penny Benjamin, who was mentioned at the beginning of TG. The “admiral’s daughter” when getting chewed out for buzzing the tower and finding out Mav and Goose are going to Top Gun. So Mav and Penny have known each other for decades.
    The plane at the very end is Tom Cruise’s in real life.
    And go watch the behind the scenes. Really. ❤

      I had to laugh watching those videos when some of the actors got cocky and went through the dunker again only for it to almost backfire on them. As someone who went through that once was more than enough for me. The actors got so good at their roles that while filming they were actually mistaken for real officers on base. John Hamm almost gave one real petty officer a heart attack catching them off guard.
      Understand that reaction though even as a senior officer myself I was not too keen on being anywhere near a flag officer especially the CNAF who is in charge of anything navy that flies.

      Yes, so many civilians either overestimate or underestimate the various trainings and schools. They underestimated, so it didn’t surprise me they were initially cocky. Playtime is over, boys. Properly humbled. However, I give them all huge props for going through all the training and not giving up. They are actors, a different mindset, and they made it through. Also big props to TC and Bruckheimer for ensuring it happened.

    I was a teen when TG came out in theaters in 86. It was a tremendous experience to see this blockbuster. A young Lt. Pete Mitchell, at the start of a career...and with still so much to learn. I'm now a man in his 50's, at a crossroads in my life, and I could relate to so much of what I saw in TGM, especially in the character of Captain Pete Mitchell, a man who is facing the end of a career, and an uncertain future.
    TGM is probably one of the best legacy films ever to be made (and far superior to it's predecessor). It hit home at so many levels. This was also the ultimate summer blockbuster (that I caught over a dozen times in the theaters....with a number of the viewing in IMAX and/or at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood).
    Tom Cruise, and his great cast (both in front and behind the cameras), hit a home run.

    Their Helmets are different because those 5th generation Russian Stealth fighters have helmet mounted displays in front of their eyes that let them target enemies with their weapons just by looking at them and that can let you see through the airplanes body like it isn't even there so you can see the sky all around you. The helmets that an F 14 pilot would have wouldn't have any of those features and would be like a traditional fighter helmet with just visor which is what any Russian flying of those F 14s would have been wearing too. So the two Americans flying it aren't wearing something out of place for the Aircraft they are flying in that would give them away as enemies.
