Top Gun: Maverick
Academy Award × 1
Rent/Purchase
After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell finds himself training a detachment of TOP GUN graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen.
What critics thought
One of the rare blockbuster sequels that critics and audiences embraced almost unanimously, though a handful of reviewers questioned whether its pleasures run deeper than polished nostalgia and kinetic spectacle. The aerial sequences and Cruise's commitment drew near-universal admiration; what divided critics was whether the film's emotional architecture and political backdrop were genuinely resonant or just skillfully dressed-up familiarity.
“thin, over-strenuous and sometimes very enjoyable movie”
A. O. Scott·The New York Times
“counts as a worthy sequel in that it succeeds and fails in many of the same ways as the original”
