Top Gun: Maverick
Top Gun: Maverick
Yeah, it was a bit cheesy here and there, and it definitely played fast and loose with military tech, tactics, and the chain of command, but I found TG:M to be a tight, entertaining, feel-good action flick that did nostalgia right. SPOILERS AHEAD! ... Interesting how the bad guy- never identified by name in the movie- was a mashup of Russia (the OPFOR 5th Gen fighters were clearing Su-57s), North Korea, and Iran (the F-14). The Darkstar looked a lot like the F-19 stealth fighter mockup that Tom Clancy modeled the stealth fighter from Red Storm Rising on. Some  moments:GPS jamming rendering the F-35 useless Flares fooling radar-guided SAMS A naval aviator being surprised that an F-14 would take off with its wings extended An F-18 Super Hornet carrying drop tanks and LGBs when launched to tackle enemy 5th Gen fighters No redundancy measures for mission (i.e. why not a third pair of Hornets?) -
