Is this movie ever going to come out? This must be what Iceman felt like waiting for Maverick to re-engage.

You could have posted the release date just now… 😒
Memorial Day

Thank You
you got me
I will ALWAYS respect Tom Cruise's dedication to his acting!
I concur, he may be BS Crazy but he is a craftsman.
Absolutely, he even learned to do helicopter acrobatics and flew his own stunts for Mission Impossible, here's a clip from his learning and flying: th-cam.com/video/6QtirIfi7sc/w-d-xo.html
@@wilsonle61 all geniuses tend to be mad af but we all benefit from there crazy 🤪
@@wilsonle61 yep, hes nuts but god damn can he make a movie
He may be bat shit crazy buts he's damn good at his trade
Top Gun was never about the story line it was about getting lost in the flying footage. I was on active duty when the first one hit the big screen in '86 and the whole squadron went to see it together. So imagine 40 "real" fighter jocks laughing and critiquing everything on the screen after leaving a "choir practice" at the O'club. We loved the cinematography combined with the tunes. Can't wait for the new version to get lost in the fiction and flying scenes for a couple of hours.
Thanks for sharing that, that must have been a unique and memorable experience. From somebody who wanted to fly as a teenager but then pursued other things.
I wish they had more flying and less talking.
You must really be fun at parties 😑
I think the arguments around this (and other) films fall into two categories:
1) those who don't seem to understand movies are make-believe. These are the people that insist the actors were flying the planes and doing all their own stunts, etc. There are just some people that will never grasp that movies are not the same as documentaries (and nowadays, even documentaries may not be as real as you think)
2) the uber-critical subject-matter experts. This is NOT directed at Mover. He shares the nit-pick stuff just for education and entertainment value. He still understands that movies have to be entertaining. That's why you get a scene where pilots jump in a plane and are firing off the cat or rocketing down the runway, because taking time in a movie to show a walkaround and checklists just isn't entertaining. But some people insist if it's not 100% dead-on, then it's just wrong or trash.
Sometimes realism is sacrificed for the sake of entertainment. That's why you see a movie-cop rack the slide before going into a shoot-out. It's why people rarely say good-bye in a movie phone call. And it's why you can see a fighter jet rocket vertically between two others with inches to spare. This is what people are talking about with "suspension of disbelief." Yes, it's fake. Yes, we know it's fake. And yes, we ignore that knowledge to be entertained.
If you can't do that, then you're going to hate everything and be a miserable person.
Well said.
Thank you Captain Obvious. Or is it Admiral Obvious these days?
@@ChevyC-hf6km Your comment would be funny, if not for the 10s of thousands of commenters like the ones he described. As such, it's just self-own.
And then there are movies like the great escape where steve mcqueen actually jumped a 12 foot fence on a 600lbs bmw motorcycle
That was also the 60s and steve mcqueen was a mans man, pro mx and race driver not just a great actor
realism is what makes a movie good. If you think showing a cop racking his gun before getting into a shoot out is good you don't know what makes a good movie. It shows the film maker does not understand their subject matter. Not going to make excuses for bad writing. As for "shut your brain off" i don't shut my brain off- your brain does not shut off, its capable of processing Vast amounts of information
I feel like your breakdowns have had more overall playtime than this entire movie at this point, and it's not even out yet!
@winterzz2004 wat? I don't think a real pilot who has flown real figher jets himself would be jealous of someone pretending to fly a figher jet.
@ winterzz2004
WHY ARE YOU YELLING AND ACTING LIKE AN ALTERNATE NAME FOR A DONKEY?
@@ttenor12 wat? You really took a bot seriously?
@@camaku3084 k
Cruse did fly the helicopter solo in one of the mission impossible movies. I was very surprised about that! Mad respect
Real pilots fly rotary.
mad respect for these actors for what they went thru for this movie.
“If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying”
Love it. Heard it from my brother.
Who thought it was ironic as one of their tenants was integrity.
Thank you for clearing up any 'confusion' about Monica Barbaro's gesture when 'starting engine two'. So she was fine all along.
This is one of the literal best channels on TH-cam.
I don’t know why anyone would expect Tom or other actors on the pilot seat and expect 100% realism, lol. This is a MOVIE. At the same time it’s bad ass that Tom actually put himself and the other actors in the fighter jet for hopefully better scenes with all the camera work they did, instead of doing it all with green screens. You just don’t get this kind of content on movies nowadays.
Nice reaction! For me as a former German military (SOF) I know exactly how fell. I have to tell the people that most movies will get you close to the reality, but it is still Hollywood.
Movies like Black Hawk Down or Act of Valor… are pretty close to the real deal… for sure!
I like what you doing and thanks for your service… I fought with we you guys in 3 tours in Afghanistan and it was awesome!
I can’t wait any longer to see that movie… 😎
I definitely appreciate the work they put into making this as authentic as possible.
I don't know about the story being worthy of a sequel, but the technology certainly is. I would have loved if these cameras were available when the original movie and Final Countdown were being filmed.
I thought this is what they did for the first one and my dad was like, don't be stupid they aren't in the planes.
So glad they did it this way. Can't wait to head out to the IMAX
@@ronaldkonkoma4356 But as I recall, they were really in the planes in the first movie, just not in the air though.
@@Riceball01 actors did fly in F-14s and production filmed them, but the quality wasn't usable for the final movie.
While 1.4 billion dollars later 🤣🤣
@@Riceball01 A lot of the in cockpit stuff was done on the ground in some kind of rig to simulate being in a jet.
I could imagine sitting next to Mover in the cinema watching this and every few seconds hearing "Fake.... also fake" 😂😂😂😂
7G's yeah I guess that's okay for an actor . . . I mean it's not 9G's but you know
Hell, I'd go see it with Mover just to hear him say, "Tomcats!" 😁
Thanks Mover for this awesome breakdown. Really getting excited about the film, the first one was a big part of teenage years. Thanks again
I appreciated your interpretation of the “Start 2” scene and the riser harness strap “controversy”. I had some thoughts about the actors walking on the ramp with t-shirts under their flight gear and thought they were probably in early training at the light prop plane stage. Gotta work up to full nomex in that heat, or you’ll have a bunch of unconscious talent.
It also turns out that the “push-ups on the ramp” scene is because those 3 aircrew lost a bet. So all you “I never did one push-up on the ramp” folks, just go to the movie. Enjoy.
I told my dad at dinner tonight, "If this movie isn't the deciding factor for me pushing toward an Air Force vs commercial career straight out of high school, then someone didn't do their job" 😅 Anyway as always Mover I absolutely love watching a Hornet pilot break down the trailers and movies. Can't wait for the Maverick breakdown (hopefully with Gonky) after the movie comes out!
Air Force?
@@Jester-uh9xg Much more likely to get a pilot slot in the Air Force than the Navy.
@@averyp.9315 Yep. I was 3 when the original came out, but seeing a few years later I wanted try and go to the Air force too. Being asthmatic was an instant disqualifier though unfortunately. The desire is in being a military aviator, period, not the specific branch the movies highlight. Would have loved to be an Eagle Driver.
@SorcererOne Lol. Well I haven't seen the movie yet and I'm also 15 with no college degree so that's kind of impossible.
Love your take on all of these previews. I'm stoked. Can't wait to see this movie.
Love your videos and breakdowns! Thank you for your service!
Super appreciate your behind the scenes info! Love this channel.
You’re awesome, C.W.. I really enjoy your take on these trailers and movies, etc.. Very entertaining and informative! :)
Loved the breakdown of the realism of this clip. I learn something everytime watching your video! Thanks
Love these videos - one of my favourite channels. Keep these brilliant videos coming!
Loved your analysis, as usual. Spot on. I saw the first Top Gun the summer I went into CF-18 training. I still love that old movie, because I think it captures the spirit of fighter aviation really well. I can't wait to see this one. I'm too old, and retired now, but I still remember what it's like. Tom Cruise has certainly made a huge effort to add realism to these movies.
"i wasn't ready to make a sequel till we had a special story" is usually a death sentence for the story. Everytime.
Yea im not expecting an amazing story. Im comin for the action and the aircraft. So as long as the story behaves well enough not to ruin the aviation stuff...ill be happy.
Im open to being pleasantly surprised, though
Yeah
That and the line, we have such a sophisticated audience these days - in an action movie where the acting is as good as Rocky doing his TV commercial
I don't know, I don't take it that seriously. I'll take it as "I was waiting for a story that didn't suck outright and had some good ideas". I'm happy with that as a viewer. I love planes and Tom Cruise makes a great fighter pilot on the screen. It IS pop corn entertainment and escapism and I need that right now.
@@TheChannel1978 considering this thread, I really hope you're username is from Harry Hogg in Days of Thunder when Cole blows the engine!
Thanks, Mover.
Very much enjoyed your take on this 😊
Excellent as usual, thanks! And all the best from Australia.
As a 22yr vet of the army I am happy movies are made concerning us and our missions but only if done correctly. What we go through is hard, hard on our bodies and families and just our lives. So correcting certain things is necessary. I feel disrespected when movies coming out shortchanging servicemembers and what we go through. Thank you for keeping it straight brother
As soon as I saw the video on TH-cam I saved myself to first watch your opinion on it. It is looking really good and kudos to the actors for doing all the training.
Maverick should keep his eyes open when pulling Gs. Great breakdown and video! Glad to finally be able to see this one.
As someone who has worked in motion picture visual effects, almost no frame of this movie will be untouched by VFX artists. But, that doesn't mean that they can't go to great lengths to put actors in realistic environments wherever possible. Just does so much to make the performances better, where it's possible. (Also, this movie's certain to have a heavy dose of digital face replacement, so don't trust anything you see on screen!)
From what I've heard, the actors were in the backseat during the flight scenes. I'm not saying maybe there wasn't some face replacement, but I think a lot of the footage was them actually in the jets. I think one of Cruise's motivations to do this film was to get into these jets, lol. So I believe a lot of the footage is real. I mean, obviously no explosives were used, and jets weren't flying as close to each other as some of the scenes portrayed, but they did perform the maneuvers as if they were that close, and then editing and vfx would fill in the gaps. At least that's what I've gathered from all the interviews of the cast & crew, especially the navy flight coordinator (that's not his official job title on the film I don't think, but something like that). Anyway, just my thoughts on an old comment/reaction video. 🤷♀️
@@roshieifra Oh yeah, based on what they’ve said I’m sure that was the case!! They just didn’t cut that footage straight into the movie. It all would have gone through a VFX process to add or change what was out the window and sweeten the whole thing up visually. Also, it would be typical to add shots after principal photography in response to test audiences or creative needs that come out in editing, and those shots would possibly use face replacement or even a full CG pilot. As a rule, on a movie like this, no shot would be untouched.
Great video Mover, thanks. Love from the UK!
Thank you C W. You are correct, as usual.
love these breakdowns!!
Worked in the maritime industry for 38 years and had to go thru the HUET training 4 different times and hated it !But, it was a very useful training experience. Love your vid’s and can’t wait to see this movie finally…fingers crossed.
Awesomely informational as usual. Thank you brother.
We learned that this should be the movie we're all waiting for! I am equally as excited for the cinematography as I am the story line!
Thanks for sorting it out. :)
Dude, I appreciate your comments and pointing out what is real and what is not. Great review!
Thank you for your service and expertise into the world of a pilot.
MOVER I AM SO EXCITED!! i grew up watching the first top gun in the early 2000s, 22 years old now and im freaking hyped to relive this childlike nostalgia!!!
great video thank you for explaining everything...and thanks for your service
Amazing commentary. Thanks for your expert perspective.
My man love the insight from a real pilot, and think it adds to it for me, you pointing stuff out that's not real doesn't detract just increase the spectical because in the end its a movie and for entertainment. Love your videos.
Great breakdown, thanks! 👏👏
Mover!!!!! I’ve been waiting for this video!!!!
It’s an awesome experience.
Best movie I seen in awhile.
Thanks
I have just watch this movie today and it was so awesome! You got the coolest job in the world.
Great stuff.... even though this is Navy as an old retired F-16 maintainer I can't wait.
I enjoy your input on Top Gun Maverick
Neiss! Subscribed. Anxious to hear what you'll say about the finished movie. Looking very forward to this one.
I be been waiting for this movie for 20 years. I’m amazed that I’m still anxiously awaiting the release. I knew he did a lot of work in preparation. Please do a watch party. You bring so much to the experience, I believe.
Good job...I like the way you break it down.
Band of brothers in like 2002 had some pretty damn intense actor training. Not sure if its in the scope of the channel but it might be a fun watch. (There are only so many air combat movies) (also do 12' Oclock high and Memphis belle)
Great assessment Mover! I do hope you do a watch party. It does look like TC did a great job putting this together and I can’t wait to see it.
Your outro music is exceptionally awesome. You might honestly have the coolest "see you next time" cutaway on TH-cam.
That was the best part of getting ready to deploy on a cruise for me in the Marine Corps I loved Shallow Water Egress training along with Amphibious Egress training I couldn't get enough of it. that and Water Survival Course Fun Stuff. I loved it !!
I didn't do it as part of the military, but for a company I flew for in order to be on the list to fly to Puerto Rico from Florida. I enjoyed it a lot actually. We were blindfolded and then dunked and we had to take a hit from our portable oxygen and then swim to the surface, it was nuts.
I can't wait!!! Already have my tickets.
I saw the movie this afternoon. It was better than what I expected. Everybody did a great job.
Great update!
Now that I've seen the movie, I'm watching this. I avoided all the trailers and footage after first seeing the teasers two years ago.
Really looking forward to it! I still remember the day I saw the Original, summer of 1986!
F-14 Tomcat was and still is my favorite fighter jet, All because of Top Gun. Loved going to the Air Show as a kid and seeing all the fighter jet demos. Still enjoy the first movie, really looking forward to this one. I’m glad they made it.
It amazes me at just how large the to tomcats are! That's a big girl for a fighter...
4:15 🤣 the crowd was laughing at the push ups, definitely a funny moment
I love how he is constantly destroying all the know-it-all armchair-pilots whom are always trying to tell those of us who have actually flown, what is and is not real.... never gets old :)
AKA: welcome to the internet!
I am an old F-100 pilot. I have rarely commented, but I certainly appreciate your humble, honest approach in making all your videos. This is very e ident in this movie trailer review.
Funny break down. Thanks mover.
Love your insights, you tell it how it is and crack me up at the same time 😆, been around this stuff and aircraft for a lot of years and I can relate to everything you speak,
I'm so excited to see this movie. Thanks for taking your time to share your thoughts.
Excited to see this one, for sure.
Love the breakdown Mover. One point - you said that the mountain background wasn't real, which I believe is incorrect as, per the documents released by the gov't the film crew filmed flight sequences out of NAS Whidbey Island, in addition to MCAS Miramar and NAS Fallon; NAS Whidbey aviators fly through a MOA that goes through the Cascades, including North Cascades National Park. VR 1355, aka the "million dollar route" goes through terrain similar to the scene you mention, so they may have filmed those scenes while flying out of NAS Whidbey. Lots of videos of Growler pilots doing low levels on that route; in the winter, it looks pretty similar to the scene.
I love watching your stuff , can’t wait to see your feedback when the movie comes out
Thanks for the great insights!
Even if the story might suck this movie is going to be quite spectacular due to the way they made it.
I’ve only been inverted once and that was in my buddies Van RV7 doing an aileron roll. It’s an experience I’ll never forget and I have it on video that I show anyone willing to watch. Cherokee pilot from Pa here.
Just saw a pre screening, it’s amazing. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the whole movie
Been waiting to see this for so long, I'm not sure if I care to watch it now.
Will be a fun movie for aviation fans. Thanks Mover for the breakdown.
Excellent! Thanks.
Kudos to the actors going through some training. Not fighter pilot level, but to have a glimpse of what it takes. I feel the need, for...................
I'll be at my local theater opening night pumped for this one.
The SuperBug stuff was sped up too.. The FCS limits roll rate to 200 degrees per second. "Smaller people, with smaller tiny frames" had me laughing out loud.. Very diplomatic, Mover.. :D
Great job Mover!!
Awesome 😎 👍🏾. Thank you for the Brief.
Thanks for the breakdown! Love the flexing on people with no experience lol
I was waiting this video more that the actual movie, anyway, seems the time has finally come for TopGun2!
This will be a great popcorn film to enjoy. I'm looking forward to it.
The original inspired so much of my childhood. I hope this one does the same for a new generation.
Saw this movie in the uk on release date last night. TG was my first ever movie at the cinema in 86 and this one gave me the same excitement. It’s just a great movie. I loved it
I feel the need...... the need for this not to be postponed anymore!
This channel kicks ass.
I am very excited for this movie and I will be going to my local theater to watch it!
Thanks for the review.
So excited for this movie, will be looking for the best theatre to watch.
thank you ,mover good job
Looking forward to watch it
Mover, Brazilian fan here! You did a vídeo on the gripen some time ago, but it would be most appreciated if you could coment in a video about the air capabilities of theJAS-39 Gripen NG, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the Rafale F3, because these were the aircrafts that the Brazilian Air Force FX-2 project was choosing to buy and we went with the Gripen mostly because of the transfer of tecnology and low cost flight campared to the other two. We already received 04 gripens out of 36 and the air force is to order 30 more!
your reaction at 4:20 is fantastically genuine.
Love it , says it as it is , Kind Regards from Dublin Ireland ..
Dude I'm HYPED.
I am glad the whole G thing is cleared up...thanks CW
