Who cares about special effects and dinosaurs with Raquel in the movie

Yeah, she was serious eye candy.

Recently, the most absurd movie I saw, I absolutely loved. Top Gun: Maverick was an awesome movie. It is a popcorn crunching, fun filled movie for the new moviergoer as well as someone who loved the original.

But, it was the Star Wars Death Star trench run done with F/A-18s. I half expected Hangman Solo to scream, "You're all clear Mav!" as he made the final run on the Death St...umm...nuclear weapons base.

Even had Mav Solo and Rooster Chewie "flying casual" in the stolen Imperial shuttle...I mean...F-14 Tomcat trying to exfiltrate out of the Moon of Endor.

Heh...when Rooster's targeting pod crapped out on him and he had to bomb visually, he says "Talk to me, dad."  I was expecting to hear the ethereal voice of Anthony Edwards saying "Use the force, Rooster."

Yup, absurd movie, but the most fun I have had in a movie theatre in a long time.

The thing I like about the first movie was the discussions on a control system going  chaotic/out-of-control.  It was pretty accurate about chaos math- now called complex system science.

You should read the novel, Don.  In the novel, as Malcom gradually succumbs to his injuries, he gives several soliloquies on that topic.  Those discussions were watered down significantly for the movie.

That is the perfect analogy. It was like they took the story straight from Star Wars. But like you, I enjoyed it. The rest of the movie made up for it.

I've seen so many movies this year; Uncharted, Secrets of Dumbledore, No Way Home, Multiverse of Madness, The Batman, Thor Love and Thunder, Jurassic World: Dominion, Top Gun: Maverick.

And I've seen many movies that went quickly to HBO or some other streaming service like The Northman and the Lost City (both still in the theaters when I saw it at home), Death on the Nile.

Maverick was ludicrous, but awesome. Best of the bunch for a fun time.

The Batman was probably the most intelligent of the movies, quite the thinker.

You are right. Top Gun Maverick is like a Stars War movie. The evil looking black helicopter looks like an Empire weapon.

"Jurassic Girl."  That's good!  Andrea is adept at dodging copyrights.  Like "Space Captain" for Spock from "Wrath of Khan".

I saw this movie for the second time yesterday. It is much better the second time around.
