This is exactly right. It seems we always try to fight the next war with the obsolete technology of the last war.
Robot aircraft can sustain far higher G forces, carry heavier payloads and operate with much greater range and efficiency.
I think the Navy and Airforce are hanging onto their manned missions primarily for prestige and tradition, and not so much for mission capabilities.
Also, if you need fewer people, you have less power. Who wants to be commander of a robot air wing as opposed to a human air wing?
The minute I spotted her I told myself "This is going to be a primary character because Hollywood simply can't pass up on women power and gay power at the same time."
Last time I saw Top Gun, Maverick lost a plane.
This time Maverick lost another plane.
gettin kind of old...though Jennifer Connelly is hot.
BS on your BS.
‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Becomes Highest Box Office Grossing Military Movie of All Time
Wow, that’s nuts. it hasn’t even been 3 weeks yet. I really hope the pathetic leftists wake up.
Yes, I thought that Jennifer Connelly did a fine job...She is 51 years old now...I remember her younger days...
No, it would not have been a good idea to bring back Kelly McGillis as Maverick's love interest...She is 64 years old now...She really did not "age well"...
I watched the film in IMAX...I had fun watching the film...
Name of the hostile nation is never mentioned in the film...This hostile nation does have an F14 on the airfield...Nuclear facility is the main target...
I have a feeling that the Iranian regime does not want any Iranian to watch the Top Gun movie...
Before the Top Gun movie, a trailer for the new Mission Impossible film was shown...That film will be released next year...
That thing looks unreal
I will wait till it’s on tv to watch.
I have Sling tv ($41)and it is cable with more channels.
In the theaters near me they have you stand outside in the weather to buy a ticket so you end up all sticky in the hot weather before going inside to sit down in the sticky seat. I guess I could buy a ticket online but that would be planning ahead. The seat would still be sticky...
During the closing credits, Tony Scott is mentioned...The director of original TOP GUN...He killed himself many years ago...It was a good idea to mention his name...
Music...Lady Gaga's song was OK...Not as good as "Take My Breath Away"...By Berlin...
"Danger Zone" was again used in the TOP GUN: MAVERICK...
#58 I saw all the Mission Impossible movies on TBS while doing other stuff around my place and after many hours I realized that they were separate movies but the plot and acting and characters were all the same and I only noticed when I looked at the tv guide online. In short, you seen one you have seen them all.
Read Kilmer/Iceman article later.
“The success of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is a warning to Democrats in the midterm elections, claims conservative host Steve Gruber”
Correct, like several other action films, watching them didn’t trigger a need to buy a AR15, and go shoot up a gun free zone, either. We were taught about Dad’s hunting guns as kids.Gibson’s actually were better, as you learn about dystopin aftermaths. The new Reacher is about the same, his mission is take out bad guys.
Don’t know about games as they are not my thing.
“Two Reasons to Love Top Gun: Maverick”
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/two-reasons-to-love-top-gun-maverick/
Same thing happened to me - and I just stopped going out to the movies. It took all the fun and ability to 'get into' the fantasy away... then sitting wondering. 'why did i pay money to sit in a dark room and be insulted'...
I have HBO and don't even watch many movies when they're basically 'free'.
Hollywood can do better... limit some of their scolding and lecturing. As this shows movies can be entertaining without some liberal elite pushing their sh*t on us.
LOL Well, higher than TV commercials that show 95% of black men are upper middle-class, married and living in $800,000 homes.
thanks. In trying to be funny it didn’t come out right...
i didn’t mean Connelly was getting old...maverick losing planes is getting old.
Somebody posted a current picture of Kelly McGillis - yikes !!!
