‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Will Return to Theaters

Tue, November 29, 2022, 11:38 AM·2 min read

Paramount’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” the biggest box office hit of 2022, will be returning to theaters for a two-week engagement starting this Friday ahead of its release on Paramount+.

Paramount announced the re-release on Tuesday, with the film heading back to the big screen on Dec. 2 and running until Dec. 15, the day before Disney/20th Century’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” is set to make its theatrical debut and one week before “Maverick” makes its streaming debut on Paramount+ on Dec. 22.

I'll see it again, maybe in IMAX if there's a matinee, but there'll at least be a 2-D viewing or two.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

And hope is a lousy defense.

I miss my Maverick OS - it was one of Apples better releases.

I still have it and use it on one of my externals, and Sierra is doing well, too.

But Safari is showing its age.

I would drive to Sacramento (where a friend lives, and they have an IMAX Theater) if it comes to IMAX...
It's a movie TOTALLY worth IMAX!

When I got my MacBook Pro a few months ago I was determined to keep Chrome off of it and so far I've done it. It took a bit of getting used to but I'm ok with it so far except when listing on eBay it doesn't work well at all and have to go FireFox, it's more their new listing format than anything I believe, it sucks.

I'm running Monterey.

Do you have to be an Air Force geek to enjoy this movie - I watched it (at home) and was bored to death...

As it's a Navy centric movie, being an Air Force geek might help some, but not a lot, and not at all necessary.

Maybe you were one of the abused children (Top Gun callback).

You can take pride in your position among a very small minority.

Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer reports a 96% score from 450 critics' reviews, and 99% Audience Score 50,000+ Verified Rating.

I posit the overwhelming majority of these two groups are not Air Force (or Navy or Marine) geeks, or aviation geeks at all.

Though it must be said, most geeky viewers, even those who acknowledged some MilSpec inaccuracies, still raved about the movie.

They knew the difference between a movie and a documentary, but I digress.

I also posit that most viewers didn't have any particular aviation knowledge or aviation or military service.

So you not only didn't enjoy it, but were 'bored to death'.

That makes you special.

As far as I'm concerned, if Maverick were a Merlin engine, it would be hitting on all 12 cylinders.

I wondered the same, as I'm not of that ilk, but will reserve my judgement as I have yet to see it! I'm just glad to have something produced by Hollywood that is not a reworked CGI superhero comic book.

But I did just request it on interlibrary loan.
