It was great. We went with a large group of friends from church, 2 former Navy pilots, 1 former Air Force top gun pilot, one former Marine pilot who was in space program, all loved it. No woke garbage. Everything is merit based(typical push pull between guys who “do” vs. top brass, but more about budgets, not stupid woke idiocy). It’s about the planes, testing human limits and the effects of things that happened in the first movie on the next generation.
Fun, clean, exciting effects, good tie in to the original movie, brings back the patriotic feelings of first movie during the Reagan years. Music was great, good tie in/reflection of first movie (except last song which was stupid and didn’t fit very well, all else was great). Great to go to a good movie, enjoy it, not feel “slimed” by Hollywood wokeism and trash. Everyone came out smiling, in good mood, sharing stories of their years as pilots and discussing technicalities of the movie and what could or could not actually be achieved in real life by those fighter jets. Needs to be seen in theater for full effect (we rarely go to movies because nothing worth watching and dont like supporting Hollywood, but made exception for this one since it is patriotic and makes you proud of our military!). Will Hollywood get a clue about what people want to see? I doubt it.
Who are the enemies they go up against in the movie?
They might ... when it makes a half a billion dollars.
