The film stars Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Monica Barbaro, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, Greg Tarzan Davis with Ed Harris and Val Kilmer.

After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialised mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.”

Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.

Thursday, 22 December on Paramount+.

  1. It’s 2022, about time Paramount and Binge get a 4K option, can’t watch a movie like this in anything less at home. We’re in this weird limbo where Disney+ is actually a better option over buying 4K disks if you want the IMAX format as well, but most everything else, it isn’t. And in some cases there’s isn’t a legal 4K option at all if it’s exclusive to binge/paramount.

  2. I saw it at the Cinema on the big screen, and I thought it was fantastic and better that the original.
    I have been back to see it five times and I feel I could not watch it on a TV screen, some movies you have to go to the cinema.
    I like the cinema as I used to be a projectionist so you can guess I have a love for the big screen and the whole atmosphere and four track digital sound at a quality that you can only dream about in your home theatre.
    All my friends who have seen it have been back at least once, so we think that some people are extremely hard to please.

  3. Couldn’t watch it all on Foxtel it was boring, the music on it was not that good either. He left it too long to do a follow up, sad Val only got a snippet though, he was great in the original.

      1. Yes I know I watched a documentary on him and it was sad but he was so good being honest and brave about having his voice box removed and now uses AFI to help him speak.

      1. I was not referring to the money on the show or their performance because the money they make is par for the course I’m referring to content, substance etc. that actually drive the show.

  5. It was appallingly bad-‘Hot Shots’ was far more entertaining-so many things wrong with it, it’d need a doco just on that. Goes to show that a hit film isn’t necessarily good film.

    2. While it wasn’t a masterpiece, it was a truly entertaining film that delivered exactly what it said on the box, with some of the most intense and insane cinematography put on screen since the advent and over reliance of CGI. Sure you suspend belief as with all movies, but if you find this appallingly bad, I wouldn’t be taking any further movie recommendations from you!

      1. What was the evil ‘enemy ‘ nation in Maverick? The original film at least had the balls to name Libya as the foe-the 1980s did see a number of clashes with the US. The F14 Tomcat was only used by 2 countries-the US and Iran which under the Shah bought 80 in the late ’70s before the Islamic revolution in 1979-these rapidly became non operational when the US stopped supply of spares. The terrain of the target with fjords, snow and pine forests says North Korea, not Iran. And so on. Absurd film.
