That nobody else than you can decide.
Pick any which one you prefer most (Top Gun fighter) to save your ass against the invaders and killers of democracy in a free world. It's a movie, it's easy, it's free to pick one or another or none.

Pretty picture, but the musiq not my cup of tea.

Friday Flashback

Not in my wheelhouse (being more image production inclined (https://nofilmschool.com/short-film-new-sony-venice-2), so looking back retrospectively, it seems that the sound might turn out to be the most challenging aspect of the production - for some early background to that play the quoted YouTube here which includes a snippet from Kenny when he was in San Diego before - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...e#post16844182

….most challenging to win over the hearts of you guys – Bob, Markgway. as well as maybe critics and general audiences. We shall see starting on May 12th or so - https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/top_gun_maverick

To be perfectly honest, Berlin’s love theme Take my Breath Away from the original Top Gun did just that to many of us (including my wife and I) back in the day, and, lol, caused me to shell out a lot more money for a more dedicated sound system in our primary residence –

Something to consider though is that, at least to me, Hold My Hand sounds better while one is actually watching the movie itself rather than hearing it independent to the imagery involved.

Haven't been to Lincoln Square since before the pandemic

Should be a high dynamic range blast, with full throttle sound dynamics.

Who is Jennifer Connelly in the movie ?

I found the IMAX preview for this to be so boring, so uh yeah, this movie definitely isn't for me I guess.

as I've already been posting about Dolby Vision for years, since its inception, on another thread on this forum including draft documents to the ITU, early presentation to Stanford U. before SMPTE meetings, etc. so folks should be familiar with that aspect

Is she in one of the James Bond's flix?

Do you remember her in one of Sergio Leone's flix?

She was also in one of Darren Aronofsky's flix; 'Requiem for a Dream'

Now she's riding in the back of Maverick's motorcycle in Top Gun number two.

Forgive me if this was already posted, I couldn't find it. But a couple of days ago, IMAX posted the 1:90 aspect ratio trailer:

I would suspect that IWC watches will become quite popular in the future, at least with fans, since Tom wears an IWC watch in Top Gun: Maverick with his character Maverick rocking a Porsche Design Chrono 1 and other cast members wearing other IWC models too, e.g. –

but, personally, for me (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...e#post18930610 ) I’ve always been most fond of Hanhart’s 417ES - https://timeandtidewatches.com/hanha...watch-mcqueen/
given its heritage with #278 - https://revolutionwatch.com/mcqueens...the-1964-isdt/ which I think, if memory serves, Steve went onto wear later in Bullitt too.
