Here's a trailer.

It does lose a lot on a screen smaller than most movie theater screens. Saw it three times at the Old Mill Playhouse.

Really enjoyed it but did not understand why our enemy had better planes than we did.

Enjoyed Maverick BUT similar plot line in the ending of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope: Destruction of the Death Star. It was a one in a million shot and Luke accomplished it.

Probably someone with a lot of oil money or a despot who pretty much gets the money pulled in by the government. It is his or her state/country.

But not far fetched. Just think about North Korea.

Maverick
 
Don't see Tom Cruise movies after finding out some of the things he stands for.

I hate to be a kill joy.
I love the visuals and they get better every year, but it's the same old tired script.
Good triumphs over evil or the underdog wins at the end.
I don't know what Hollywood could make different, but if you've seen one of these movies you know what the ending is going to be before your second bite of popcorn.

Never been a big Tom Cruise fan, but Top Gun: Maverick, is easily (in my opinion anyway) his best work. Cruise brings a maturity and a seriousness to the role that just wasn't there in the original Top Gun movie. And the romance between Maverick and Penny Benjamin, two middle-aged folks in real life as well as in the movie, appeals to a much broader audience than the original somewhat vapid fling between Maverick and "Charlie".

I haven't seen it yet, must do that. I'm looking forward to Fast X.

suggest viewing rogue one if you like the star wars franchise

I would finish watching the movie if I could just remember where I was when I fell asleep the first time.
