Provost Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I got to see a special preview screening of this film a few days ago as part of a conference. It is released at the end of May. Best movie of the year I think hands down. It was everything you wanted it to be. See it on the biggest screen you can and in the best sound. It was filmed in IMAX, so if you are near an IMAX screen get tickets to that. If not, then at least find a theatre that has ATMOS sound. The fighter jet dogfight sequences are amazing in immersive sound. This is most definitely not a wait for it on demand kind of flick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINE I'll go to stupid vancouver to see a stupid tom cruise movie that shaped the lives of every boy over the age of 40 when it was released and try to recapture the fleeting youth I felt when I saw the initial trailer without filling my pants with excitement. Fine, k Prov...Prov, K I'll do it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kid, I kid, I am kind of kidding. ‘I really don’t like Tom Cruise but man he does make some good movies and I probably will go see in the IMAX.

bishopshodan Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 No, way. I'll turn and burn on the idea of seeing a remake of this flick. How good is the new version of the 'Danger Zone' song though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good is the new version of the 'Danger Zone' song though? The soundtrack is great… the entire audience lost their minds as soon as the Top Gun Anthem started playing and that guitar solo started. They didn’t modrrnizr anything, the entire movie feels like it came right out of the 80’s. We had been subjected to a week of CGI heavy previews and the practical effects from this just felt way more intense and tangible. The sound team should be winning the Oscars this year. I might have been spoiled seeing it in a 3,000 seat room set up by Dolby to show off it’s systems… but I am sure it will still sound amazing in regular theatres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadcanucks Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Has it really been 36 years since the original Top Gun? I was in third year university when this movie came out and watched this in the theater with my girlfriend at the time who got all squirmy during the sweaty love making between Maverick and his instructor. Was the best two dollars I ever spent on a date (that was when there was Two Dollar Tuesdays). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Kelowna Landmark Extreme. It isn’t IMAX but it is the only Auro3D room in the entire country I believe. I haven’t been there, but it is pretty handy to Penticton.

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 F-14's were an amazing plane. It won't be the same. They made the film 20 years too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
