Absolutely incredible! It was just as good if not better than the original! The aerial sequences were stunning and it was all done with the perfect amount of nostalgia and emotional resonance. I would highly recommend watching the original first if you haven't already. There are many callbacks to the original, some subtle and some not so subtle. I got chills hearing the legendary Top Gun theme and watching the jets take-off and land on the carrier during the opening sequence! Knowing Maverick's history with Goose is essential for this film to hit with the most emotional impact.
