I don't doubt the shot of him taking off is really him inside the cockpit. However, the shot of the flyby over the flats is probably a VFX shot. It just doesn't make sense there is ZERO camera shake or vibrations when the camera is supposed to be on the ground. Considering the amount of force the plane generates as it flies by that close to the ground, you'd have to secure the camera deep into the ground, and even then there would still be vibrations. Let's put it this way, if we were to add a CG plane in a shot like this, there would be some sort of camera shake added in as well to make it feel more real.

That's cheap tech.

Movie tech is far superior then this. They could make a larger frame and simple cut shakes out of a picture entirely if the center area of that picture is intact which shouldn't be much of a issue. The biggest problem like cruise mentioned is lightning.

As far as sequels/revivals goes this looks awesome

No unnecessary wokeness, some awesome looking and seemingly real shots instead of over the top, overused and clearly fake CGI, and maybe most importantly it brings back the original soundtrack instead of some popular modern song or a "somber" cover of one.

I'm not even a big fan of the original but that moment at 1:17 when the music kicks in was like "hell yeah I'm watching this!"

But he put one girl there in plane for the show. Could she be like daughter of someone he knew before??

And conneley said she will be like sailor there not pilot.
Interesting that Miles Teller will be there too maybe as some young pilot

Deaging face ok but how they make fat to skinny and grandpa movements to young. Dont think it works that way. They have plenty young people there for that and maybe someone could shine there to be like next maverick later....

Must have watched the trailer 10 times by now. Gets better every time.
If the movie feels as real as trailer I will be happy. Best thing about it is how authentic it feels. You just can’t achieve that with crappy CGI. I long for the real shit and this seems to deliver.

Also the definitive version of the trailer:

Cruise just love flying and he said its love letter to aviation so it must be awesome. He did it for himself to feel as much as he can. Remember on MI3 they said him no you cant do stunts then he become producer and he could do whatever he wanted.
In trailer he uncovers old bike from firsr movie but he dont ride it he rides new bike instead. Wonder will that old monster will be driven or its not safe anymore. ..
I watched trailer maybe 30 times or more, amazing

I'm curious, it sounds like you are a non-native english speaker, was the original Top Gun as much apart of your upbringing as it was for many american's? The movie was a cultural landmark (and I think single handedly filled Air Force recruiter books for years). I always wondered how it was received in other countries.

Good action movie, a classic one but it probably and logically had more impact in the US than anywhere else I guess.

British here and everybody I know loves Top Gun and it has so many quotes from that film used all the time. Hyped for Top Gun 2 which I didn't think I would be

It was huge internationally not because of the patriotism or because of being a “cultural landmark” but for the reason that it brought a young boys dream of being a fighter pilot to the screen.
It’s an unattainable dream job for many like being an astronaut.
That paired with the awesome soundtrack and the cruise missile is a receipt for success.
Just a shameless testosterone fueled ride that is universal in language.

Job's cancer was perfectly treatable if he bothered to get it treated when he was diagnosed instead of thinking he could beat cancer with smoothies.

new trailer monday december 16

Top Gun: Maverick
Click to expand...
is blessing the world with another trailer tomorrow morning -- bright and early on Monday, December 16, 2019. It'll be the second trailer after the first official trailer came out in July. One day ahead of the new footage, we got a new poster, and I like this one much more than the official one that showed up along with the first trailer. Tom Cruise is still the focus, as he should be, but his Maverick shares the stage with the big blue sky and the true stars -- the fighter jets.

just perfect poster

But how could it be successful without strong, independent female characters? You do know women make up more than 50 % of the population?

Too early to tell, but this looks to be a better movie than the first. If only because the actors are actually on the jets and being filmed. Makes for a more visceral experience.

They where on jets and filmed mostly in first one too. For those youngsters in couple those shots not so sure, but that doesnt matter so much what others will fly , Cruise will fly them for real.
Wonder will he have some conflict with goose son there?
In the end new meaning for buzz the tower as that all roof went off ... Omg

The rumored plot is:
Goose's son gets shot down behind enemy lines in the training mission and Marverick goes to rescue him.

Is Val Kilmer actually in the movie? It's great if he is but he's lost the ability to speak because of his cancer, so they must have written his disease into the plot somehow.

I doubt that the military funeral you see in the film will be Iceman's most likely...

Cannot wait. What makes it even better is the minimal use of CGI. They could have cheapened out and did CGI for all the aerial dogfighting but cared enough to film the real deal. 👍

There’s so much cool shit going on in these shots which VFX animators just wouldn’t be able to do IMO. Even small details like Maverick’s head snapping forward as he launches off the aircraft carrier would just get missed if that was a fake cockpit on a green screen. The thrust vectoring, contrails, etc. just look phenomenal and real (because it is!)

Kilmer can't talk very well due to an operation so the role will most likely be a flashback or they are gonna film him with mask on and dub the voice......his most recent movie was the new jay and silent Bob movie and they got around that by having him as silent bob (no talking)


I have heard the plot revolves around drone warfare vs pilots .....the bit about goose is probably also true.
