Top Gun: Maverick

[Opens May 27 in theaters.] Joseph Kosinski's riveting, entertaining, fast-paced, action-packed, intense, wit-dotted, predictable, 131-minute sequel dominated by awesome aerial shots in which a rogue, highly skilled, not-by-the-book, guilt-ridden, risk-taking, adrenaline-junkie, Naval fighter pilot (Tom Cruise), who continually ignores orders from his commanding officers (Ed Harris, Jon Hamm, and Charles Parnell) and finds himself attracted to a spicy bar owner (Jennifer Connelly) with a daughter (Lyliana Wray), is assigned to train a squadron of elite, hotshot, best-of-the-best pilots (Miles Teller, Lewis Pullman, Glen Powell, Danny Ramirez, Manny Jacinto, Jay Ellis, Monica Barbaro, Greg Tarzan Davis, et al.) over a three-week timeframe for a dangerous, nearly impossible mission to destroy an underground nuclear weapons facility set between two mountains and protected by an arsenal of missiles in the Middle East.
