I'm actually eager to see the new Top Gun 2: Maverick. I love seeing the aerial footage and from what I hear, very little of it is CGI. I loved the aerial footage in the first one and HD cameras have improved immensely since then.

I?ll probably watch it (when it comes out to rent) strictly for nostalgia. The eighties was an excellent decade for fun movies.

Tom Hanks in another WWII Movie! but....

The trailer intrigued me at first, watch it for the full-facepalm moment.







ETA:
With all the content that is available, do they really need to be THAT inspired? I mean come on... things like the Battle off Samar would blow minds and look "hollywood" without any creative writing.

lol, OxArt

You mean the torpedo bouncing off the hull? I didn't have sound when I watched it....

I thought the radio call and the repeated encounters with the sub on the surface just yards apart were laughable. Wolfpacks used stealth and picked away at the convoy. They weren't in your face trading blows. The wolfpacks also didn't contain large numbers of subs as depicted in the radar image (and they would not have given away their positions anyway).

Artistic license.....

Yeah, surface encounters were a... "okay, it's Hollywood, I'm looking past it for a moment" ..... and then you get the cliche Nazi impression radio call from a sub and magically 60 tangos appear on the radar scope all chasing one Fletcher destroyer. If you had the sound off you'd somewhat miss that.

I guess their inspiration is a legendary battle inside a 1990's arcade game.
