Top Gun Maverick
Just came back from viewing, highly recommend seeing it. It did have a few moments of reminiscing sappy stuff, nothing objectionable. Didn't see any wokeness at all. The aerial scenes were outstanding, the price of a ticket alone. After all, it's just a movie, made to entertain and for us, it certainly did.

Just out of curiosity, what's the going rate for a movie ticket these days?

New movie complex in in my area, they have $6 Tuesdays. I suppose prices change during peak times.

Have been hearing all good reviews. And thanks for the "wokeness assessment" @Norm. I pretty much avoid anything Hollywood has to offer these days but may make an exception here.

Matinee this afternoon, about $12 each ( I think it said 25% off) regular ticket price. It was IMAX theater. Somewhere around $55 for 2 tickets, two drinks and a bag of popcorn. |

We saw it on Sunday matinee show, and it was soooooooooooo worth the wait!
Outstanding flight sequences and even though I spent many years on carriers, there wasn't too much to complain about as far as realism is concerned. And, the producers (damn you Jerry Bruckheimer for being so great!) and studios even went "opposite woke" by reinstating the Taiwanese and Japanese flags on Maverick's flight jacket in defiance of what China wished. Good on them! All in all, 10/10, would see again! |

Did they have a disabled, gay transgender Muslim midget starring as a fighter pilot? I won't see something that doesn't have proper representation.

Just got back from the theater. Norm is right. Definitely worth seeing. It was kid friendly. We had the grandkids with us. They liked it.

No real interest. I'll wait til it's on tv.

Not bad. Jennifer Connelly looks pretty good on these old eyes!
And I do like this Miles Teller's work on screen! |

Teller's pretty good on Paramount+ series "The Offer", about the making of the Godfather movie.
