This is another attempt to "remake" a classic movie. Pure BS. Hollywood is brain dead, nothing original, just remakes. This movie is nothing but feel good BS. In this movie there are so many highly unlikely scenarios it is an insult to anyone with an IQ over 75. It is a cross between a flashback and wishful thinking. The characters are 30 years Maverick's junior and are testosterone jocks who play games with one another. They may be serious pilots but act like juveniles. All uniforms are ridiculously tight, no uniform fits like a glove on people of different body shapes. The flying parts are okay but lack originality. Nothing but car chases with airplanes. Although it contains some "entertainment" value, generally IMHO it isn't worth the time to watch. I think watching paint dry or the grass grow has about the same value. The original movie was okay, but this is an insult to that movie. This reminds me of the Rocky or Rambo movies. Remake after remake. After the first iteration, the remakes are disappointing. Same here.
