Kinda sorta agree.
Waltzing into an enemy airbase and grabbing an F-14…
Little over the top, but hey, gave ‘em a way to use the “ you told me not to think” line.
Still, might take it down to a 9.5 - not a 7.
I assume you saw the original - that a 7 also?

I enjoyed it and for the simple fact it has Jennifer Connelly it gets at least an 8.5/10. Yes it has some far fetched scenarios and some of the old faithful plot lines but that's the point. I enjoyed the movie and found me laughing more than I thought I would while still enjoying the action.

So anyone know what the name of those jacked up Imax theaters are called and if there's one either near Reno, NV or maybe between Reno and San Luis Obispo? I am planning to head down to SLO for father's day weekend with my boys so we could do it then.

Not sure what route you plan to take, but there’s one in Concord called the Veranda off 680 and another in the Dublin/ Pleasanton area at the 580/680 interchange.

I think they just have the regular Imax.

Saw the original Top Gun while I was in a hospital with my mom (it was a fun moment). I liked it...but the lady playing Maverick's love-interest was so...wooden in her acting, particularly when she expresses her love for Maverick after Goose dies. I haven't seen the latest, but it's something I'm interested to see.

If you hated the first, you will hate this as well.
If you loved the first you'll probably love this too because it's pretty much the same movie.
I think I was the only person in the cinema who would have rather put a gun to my head than be there, but Mrs UK had bought tickets for her nephew and niece and I was forced to go on pain of death.
If you'd asked me to list my most hated movies of all time the first Top Gun would have been loitering around the top.
If you like films written strictly to a formula with no plot twists that you weren't expecting around about minute two of the movie, then this is definitely for you.
Having said all that, some of the action sequences were breathtakingly good and it was worth watching for those alone.
Tom Cruise annoys me.
He's 3 weeks younger than me but looks 15 years younger and is ripped like a side of beef.
He's also wealthy, good looking, funny, and incredibly hard working.
What's not to be annoyed about?
But he's so fucking charismatic that I can't help but like him in almost everything he does, including this.
I'd probably have hated this as much as the first if I'd watched it on a TV, but I quite enjoyed it....surprisingly.
If you love high-octane moves, you're not a raving pedant like I am and you find it easy to suspend belief (such as when TC is aiming to hit Mach 10 (the current world record is Mach 3.3, so that is some step up) and starts banking the fucking plane at Mach 9, then you will love it.
