Usman Kashmirwala reviews the film.
Tom Cruise never fails to impress us with his breath-taking performances and has continued this trend with his box-office hit “Top Gun Maverick”. This masterpiece is set to cross the $900 million mark on the charts and is being touted as the first billion-dollar movie. There is no doubt that this project deserves every bit of praise it is currently receiving due to its outstanding cinematography and breathtaking scenes, which made the audience sit in awe, their eyes glued to the screen for the next 2 hours.
Not only does the film create a nostalgic episode for every member of the audience who has seen the first part during their younger days and has been waiting restlessly for the sequel, it takes a deep dive into the life of every fighter pilot who has ever or will ever fly for their country, making it clear that duty comes above their personal interest. The concept was clearly highlighted when Maverick was ordered to prepare a group of young pilots for a covert operation rather than leading the operation himself which he highly resented.
Joseph Kosinski, the director of Top Gun Maverick has beautifully encapsulated the concept of how unity amongst ranks and loyalty to the country creates a force that cannot be wrecked. Milles Teller who went by the code name “Rooster” played a vital role in tying up the knots from the previous part and helped put life in various scenes with his impassioned character who had a lot of anger built-in inside of him for reasons that come to light during the course of the movie.
The nail-bighting scenes of fighter jets performing drills and preparing for the operation were definitely keeping everyone on the edge of their seats as the effects were just too real and made sure the audience experienced the scenes to the full extent. Going into the theatre, I expected the storyline to be one of the driving factors of the film’s success. However, despite having rather a simple storyline, the details present in each effect and the build-up to the operation, in the end, were what made me want to watch more.
The climax of the film was incredibly executed with the whole theatre betting on Maverick and his teammates for the win. The close calls and unexpectedness present in the ending scenes surely were enough for me to get goosebumps. In general, the movie was a very wholesome experience having everything an audience wants; emotion, action, thrill, and suspense. Last but not the least, the acting skills of each and every character whether big or small was inexplicable and shows effort was put into the making.
