Ok….I loved it. But am I the only one that doesn't like that they told/showed us a bunch of stuff that would have been nice, subtle stuff to find out while watching? (Iceman, Goose's son's attitude towards him, etc)

I know some people knew or assumed that was Goose's son but the average viewer that isn't deep diving on it wouldn't have known that from the early previews.

Hopefully this means we will get the sequel to a military air combat movie that we all want.

Fire Birds 2.

And i'm sure gooses son won't die in the end and maverick will probably sacrifice himself as well.

The snowy landscape has me hoping this is secretly a Top Gun / Empire Strikes Back / Inception / Age of Ultron crossover.
MY post breakdown:
33% Star Wars
33% Astros

What Iron Eagle are we on now? 5*?

(*First thought they only made 3, but Google tells me they made a 4th for a direct-to-video flick... My God...)

Would TC go to a secret screening of it tonight if the only way in was to let Will Smith slap him in the face?

There is a character named Amelia Benjamin on the cast list. Guessing he has already flown below the hard deck

There will be shirtless guys playing volleyball and a thin layer of homoeroticism throughout.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

How about avoid the thread while the rest of us discuss? Or is that amount of self control just too much to ask?

IDK, if it's in the trailers it's hard to really consider something a spoiler and not discuss it. Probably best to not read the movie thread if you don't want to hear about anything that's in a movie trailer.

Callsign Fanboy, will he be a fanboy of Maverick or something else? One article had him as a Star Trek fanboy due to the font used. Looks like he is the RIO/WSO for Payback

Some of this looks awesome and some looks dumb and fake as hell. You know I'm still gonna go see it though.

I hope they keep any Val Kilmer cameo to just the picture on the wall. I think it would be disrespectful to have him return to such an iconic character in his current state.

Generally agree.

And I think they would have to, given what we saw in the trailer. Need to have a certain look to be the Admiral of the Pacific Fleet.

The trailers keep getting better.
They've been working on them since the Obama administration.

Ha, was up 'til 4 AM last night working, so I slept in, then had some more stuff to do earlier.

While this is still hands down my most anticipated movie of the year, and this trailer features some of the coolest individual shots we've seen so far, I have to say, IMO, it's the weakest of the bunch for me. I thought the first two trailers had more of an epic feel, featured a bit more build-up, and were far more chill-bump-inducing. Still, the movie itself looks absolutely incredible, I'm just talking purely about the edits of the trailers themselves. Either way, I can't wait for Memorial Day Weekend.

Also, here's the 4K version...

Yea, this has more quick cuts and seems to be going for a "two minute movie" approach?

Gorgeous in 4K, though.

First movie since The Dark Knight that I'm legitimately geeked to see in IMAX, especially given how much was shot in IMAX using the new cameras.

PENNY BENJAMIN!

Exactly. I have it on good authority that Cruise didn't want a single "story" trailer / didn't want to do the "two minute movie" approach. So, if the movie wasn't delayed, I don't know that we would have ever even seen a third trailer like this. I think they just would have stuck with the first two trailers, or would have done like a final, one-minute IMAX trailer or something, but the delay likely forced their hand to do a third full trailer, and they had no choice to but to reveal more story this go-around.

But yeah, regardless, the IMAX stuff looks incredible. The past two trailers have seen expanded ratio IMAX versions release as well, so I'm hoping we get the same for this one. Will obviously post when and if we do.

Any insight into fraction of runtime that will be true IMAX?
