  Extended version in 7.1 Dolby Atmos. I think I prefer the theatrical cut, guess I need to rewatch to compare.

  Top Gun: Maverick 2022

  ★★ Watched 16 Sep 2022 2

  I know we all joke that the original played Danger Zone way too much, but I was really missing it at the crucial moments.

  5 stars for the flight sequences

  -1 for utterly unnecessary Jennifer Connelly scenes (still love ya girl)
  -1 for cheesy legacy sequel flashback sequences poorly inserted
  -1 for lack of Danger Zone (and surprisingly boilerplate Zimmer score)

  We could've spent more time meeting the flight crews and fleshing out some of the fun side characters instead…
