TimeOut

Agreed :D

 

I saw it yesterday and genuinely loved it. Not that the story is particularly original, it's a decent enough attempt at making something qualitative out of the premise of the first film, but the whole experience was genuinely one of a kind - especially in the IMAX format. What will stick with me long-term is the visually and aurally gripping manner in which they filmed the actual pilots doing some of the most amazing flying ever done - a visceral treat for any transportation/flight enthusiast.... Cruise did as committed and fine a job as the actor/director (yes, I don't buy it for a second that he allowed Joseph Kosinski to tell him what to do on his 'pet project') given his extreme devotion to this film, but again, the true value here to me is the aviation component itself. There's very little to no acting needed when you are being flown in the back of a fighter jet and your whole body is getting 'beaten-up' by the basic rules of physics wink. Thanks for commenting, cheers, Filip

Top Gun: Maverick Soundtrack

My main source of love and inspiration from modern music since childhood were always feature film soundtracks. With this said, I haven't purchased a soundtrack in more than a decade since there hasn't been any personally compelling ones released in too lo...  

I'll listen to the soundtracks

you posted, you enjoy the movie and let me know how it was. I'll get around to seeing it as soon as I can. I understand there are a lot of nods to the original in this one. Tom

Indeed!

I'll even be seeing it in an IMAX format so the experience ought to be as engrossing as it gets ........ Will tune-in back here tomorrow evening, Filip

Saw it yesterday evening,

Very much looking forward

to seeing this! My U.S. based friend did, was enthusiastic and, unlike me, has never been one to succumb to Mr. Cruise's charms. (He has me at hello, ha ha ha.) Cheers Marc

Hahaa - very funny :)

I will see it in the next 24 hours so I'll post my fairly objective review, sans Tom Cruise worship LoL . Cheers, Filip

Saw it last night, think it is

a triumph, and I loved every second of it (it was long, wasn't it?)! Cheers Marc

It went by....

pretty fast, pun intended, to me .... Cheers, Filip

I just saw it tonight - it was outstanding IMO

I had been hearing about this sequel for years and think they pulled off a great movie. No small feat considering how iconic the original is. Music and scores are superb. Harold and Hans, you can't go wrong! Last, I echo your sentiments about Tom Cruise. ... 

Thanks Michael!!

 
By: AuHavrePro : June 3rd, 2022-05:36
I truly appreciate the positive sentiments which give me an air of enthusiasm before tomorrow's viewing . Again, I'm seeing it in IMAX format so the effect of the cinematography ought to be at its peak potential . Cheers, Filip

I hadn't realized he was living in Paris at the time.... R.I.P

Agreed :D

Thanks. Definitely will check it out.

Original scores (soundtrack with music only, not songs) are also my favourite way to get relaxed. Regarding Hans Zimmer creations, my favorites are Pearl Harbor (Ben affleck starring) , Last Samurai (Tom Cruise starring), and Batman The Dark Knight Trilog... 

Oh, I sure have!

 
By: AuHavrePro : June 3rd, 2022-16:01
Might re-listen the Last Samurai tracks now that you mentioned it. Regarding TDK soundtrack, it's among the best ever made in my opinion, and I even have the limited edition hard-cover case/book OST which my friend, who happens to be among the two dozen m... 

That is really nice of your friend.

Among the great composers, i think Hans Zimmer and James Horner ( Legends of the Falls, Apollo 13, Braveheart) are one the best for creating scores for epic movies. The others like Howard Shore (Lord of the Ring trilogy) and Gabriel Yared (city of angels,... 

I would also have to add....

Harry Gregson-Williams. He might even be my favorite modern music composer, even against his former colleagues at Remote Control ........

Exactly!

I agree with you 100%. IWC was easily the biggest sponsor in terms of product placement. Ray-Ban comes in a close second .... Thanks for looking, Filip
