After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Training a detachment of graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it.
Wow! This movie was awesome in every way. And for the record, I am not one of those people that thinks the original is one of the best movies ever or puts it up on a pedestal. I liked it but this one was the old school kind of movie that made me fall in love with going to the movies in the first place. It was fun, you got connected, you go emotional both sad and massively happy at times. You were invested in all the characters and the respect paid to the original was just insane.
I would absolutely recommend everyone checking this one out. This is a lock for my top ten list at the end of the year and would currently be the best movie of the year so far with ease.
