I saw an ad during the movie (YES, actually going to a movie in a theatre – the new Maverick Top Gun sequel); it was an ad for a new product coming to market – Coca-Cola with coffee added. Yes, a caffeine drink inserted in a caffeine drink – sounds like a great combo for those who rise early or need to stay up late.
As for the movie – as someone who saw the original TOP GUN on its opening weekend 36 years ago – I’ve watched it many times since. This sequel is a tapestry of a new story/old story well woven with callbacks to the original and a nostalgic tribute to the shelf-life of the original.
