After all of the rave reviews, I figured it would be a good movie, but it far exceeded my expectations.
The flight scenes are very well done. Tom Cruise insisted on real flight footage instead of CGI, and it really shows. There's some unrealistic flying of course, but, hey, it's a Top Gun.
The sound is also well done. Tense moments have an early silence that literally puts you on the edge of your seat.
The only thing I didn't like that much was the romance. I thought the movie would have stood fine without it, but it wasn't a big deal.
There are plenty of references to the original. If you grew up watching Top Gun, this is a must see.
