Though I'm a big fan of Tony Scott and Tom Cruise, I somehow never watched Top Gun beginning to end. It's Tony Scott and was the first (or an early adopter) of a film playing like a music video. Early Simpson/Bruckheimer. I feel like I know the movie. But I haven't watched it.

It's obviously the original movie. I've never gone to see a movie in Dolby Cinema so I might consider going to see it.

Was my first time seeing Top Gun on the big screen today (seen it countless times otherwise) and God damn did it look and sound fantastic. It’s right up there with Cloverfield as my favorite theater going experiences.

I think they're making the best move possible putting this out the weekend before Thanksgiving. It can capitalize on both the returning crowds of people who want a weekend out before Thanksgiving, and then again with the nostalgic families on Thanksgiving itself. Didn't know that Joseph Kosinski directed this one until now. He did a good job in playing with nostalgia with Tron:Legacy (at least IMO), so hopefully he can do it again here.

Just got back, and wow!! I had high expectations for the audio and it far exceeded them! (the explosions in that final fight were the highlight) Honestly may be the best theatrical audio experience I can remember - the sequel's got a high bar to reach!

Im glad its going to be released in the summer but it should have been released already. I’m afraid no one will care by next year.

I know there was a trailer released already and some IMAX planning but I don’t recall seeing a ton of marketing for this yet. Maybe Paramount was planning ahead and decided to hold off on the marketing push until they were sure of the release date (unlike Bond which seems to have killed itself with marketing costs).

3 years after it wrapped. Not to mention the earlier shoot they did in 2018.
Too bad they extended their production time and didn’t keep their originally announced 2019 date way back when.
All these delays and long productions on Cruise’s movies… the dude must be going crazy. Especially from a guy who’s almost had a new movie out every year for the last 20 years.

It’s the first sequel to a 35 year old movie. A year or more delay wouldn’t do much to decrease the interest in it. Whatever the audience was that was interested in watching it in 2019 would probably still be interested in watching it in 2022 assuming they haven’t died yet.

Bummer, but as Decker said, it's a sequel to a movie from 1986. What's 6 more months? I also think this will probably perform better as a summer movie than a Fall movie.
And I kind of understand why they felt they needed to do this. Some territories where this movie will need money from and where Cruise is popular are still in lockdown.

I wonder what the carrying costs on the loans for this are? How much more do they need to break even with another delay? Got to be close to a million a month like the Bond movie I would guess... Too bad they did not push it out this summer when it was relatively safe.

Umm....Just peeping in here to find out if this is going to be delayed once again.
(Hope that doesn't jinx it)

Guaranteed adrenaline rush. #TopGun: Maverick is FINALLY coming to theatres May 27. Watch the NEW official trailer now!
After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.” Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
