Well let's be honest. If you are a moviegoers, probably the first quarter from the movie would remind you the Scents of a Woman. Basic elements are all there. The remaining are driven by different sets and the background among the lead and the sub roles. The flow of the story gets you bounching High and Low, and even left with you what you wonder to expect next. Honestly I found quite a few surprise with mouth wide opened. As this is based on true event, I must say the world and the people around you and me are beautiful. Looking forward with positive energy is a key. Wealth is not everything but the true friendship is a treasure.
I was 12 when TopGun was aired. Didn't get a chance to watch on the big screen however, for the love of Grumman F14, bought the VHS cassette and kept as collectible while my family didn't even had the color TV, what more the VHS player. This is how nostalgic the TopGun franchise to me for the past 35 years. Because of TopGun, i visited San Diego Kansas City Barbecue, bought a couple of T-shirts and baseball cap. I got the same Rayban aviator and navy jacket worn by Pete Mitchell. I got Kawasaki GPZ superbike but too bad i do not have Maverick's look. 3 weeks ago I got myself a ticket for today 1st show on local Imax cinema. I wetted my eyes through out the movie. There are too many sensible memories brought back from the original Topgun. It is a good thing that the movie trailers keep some of the hidden gems.. not exposing too much. If you know what i mean as most of us the TopGun fans were stressing our thoughts whether if "he" is coming back??? The air shooting with the intense facial expression simply astonishing! Tom Cruise and his team ultimately nail it. The old and new soundtracks and scores matched perfectly in this movie. The assortment of the story blended very nicely and i just could not find any flaw from the entire 120min movie runs. All the lead aviator younglings reflected just how exactly the US Airforce really mean business. This is my first time I rated a flat 10 for movie review.
