Review by: Larry Ho
One of the most anticipated sequel after 30+ years that suffered postponed release due to the pandemic proved to be totally worth the wait〜☆
That same opening theme leading to that same song, “Danger Zone” which is unequivocally tied to the 1st movie takes you back 30+ years (I only realised later that both movies opened the exact same way).
The elements & aerial tech advancements involved seamlessly transitioned both movie beautifully.
However, younger adults or those who are unacquainted may wanna do a quick rinse of the 1st one(on HBO GO)to fully understand the emotional background of “Maverick”.
Next to a technical flaw of the environment setpiece. This sequel was nothing short of an epic dog-fighting, G-pulling aerial display of a movie.
An afterburning textbook start to a few unexpected barrel rolls finish.
An amazing tribute to the late Tony Scott〜♡
It is almost unnatural that Tom Cruise still looks this youthful at 59. He slips right back into character like a glass slipper as only he could.
The real uncanny-looking character however is Miles Teller (with a mustache)who plays the son of Goose, callsign: Rooster.
This movie is absolutely cut for the bigscreen. Go IMAX if you can. It’d be worth every penny I’m sure〜☆
