It was a long wait for a sequel, three decades! Finally, Pete Mitchell is back!
80s and 90s kids are probably excited to see this, no surprise because the highly anticipated Maverick has rated higher than the original Top Gun (1986)
IMDb rated 8.5/10 stars
Rotten Tomatoes rated 97% Fresh and 99% audience score
We had our date night in the movie theater and the best way to experience Top Gun: Maverick is through 4DX. We went to Regal Cinema.
It is like going to Universal Studios, but only paying for one ride. It includes moving/tilting chair as the fighter jets fly and wind swooshing to the side of your ears as the speed picks up! It is feeling the wind in front of you, over your head and under your feet. Did I mention water?!? Yes! It was a total experience plus the surround sound and external lights beyond the big screen. (You do have an option to turn off the water though.)
It was great that they did wait until the cinemas are open before showing Top Gun: Maverick; it is the only way to really enjoy it, in the big screen!
Other than the experience, it was the story line that makes us agree with both the ratings of IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, or even higher! (NO SPOILER!) They have completely correlated the original Top Gun. Although, you do not necessarily have to know the story of Top Gun, you can understand the Top Gun: Maverick in it's own respect. I still would encourage that you watch the original Top Gun as a refresher or just to love Tom in a different time and age.
A friend who is rather older than us watched the Top Gun (Paramount + and other cables are showing it lately) with her daughter (in her 20s) told us how her daughter made fun of her reaction (thrill/excitement) to Tom Cruise's scenes; now understands what is it about as she watch Top Gun: Maverick. I love that the new characters and older characters (no pun intended) were collaborated well, not to compete but to compliment each other's role.
