this looks like it could surpass TGM,looks more ambitious

Glen Powell getting typecast already. Looks ok but the style seems a little off for the era.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I'll watch the **** out of that.

 

[EviLore]

Looks decent, based on a true story. I don't know about calling it "America's forgotten war," but Hollywood usually doesn't care about the Korean War much.

Literally zero Korean people in the cast for a Korean War movie? A little strange.

 

[Billbofet]

Looks great. Bring it on!!!

I said to my wife the other week this probably won't make any money at the box office but if it was now called Top Gun: Devotion it would make hundreds of millions of dollars.

Based on a poster hanging in Maverick's locker. It fleshes out the backstory of said poster!
Top Gun Expanded Universe! GET ON IT HOLLYWOOD!

I feel like you just can't get away with CGI planes anymore.

 

[Razorback]

It's a Mister Apoc thread.

I suppose it would have been hard to film it all with real planes as I presume there's not many of them left. However, the use of CGI just makes it look like on big cut scene.

Yeah there's only a few real WW2 planes left, so doing it real would be impossible. Difficult position.

The closest you could get is what Nolan did in Dunkirk. Two or three real planes that aren't very historically accurate. Still looks better imo.

 

[Konnor]

Looks like a fucking Battlefield intro. God, I hate obvious CGI so much

 

[Lady Jane]

It looks decent for an action film but the Maverick pandering in the trailer makes me not want to watch it

 

[AJUMP23]

It will not surpass Top Gun Maverick, but it does look good.

Maverick pandering?

Not gonna lie, using the Top Gun name as a gateway for historic(ish) flight films sounds like a GREAT idea. Fuck, just have Tom Cruise cameo in each one as some Maverick daddy, uncle, grandpa, or 3rd cousin that all look alike

 

[jason10mm]

Man, I am just the DP master these days.

 

[Thaedolus]

hah so the hot shot from Maverick is in it? This could be fun, too bad it all looks CG

 

[Raven117]

Looks like a good enough movie, but yeah…. The cgi… nah

 

[Doom85]

Maverick pandering?

Oh come on, look closer. If you can’t see all the pandering to the 90’s Western comedy film starring Mel Gibson in this trailer, then I’m at a loss for words on how one can be so oblivious.

You mean planes that can fly for hours without fuel over a city full of 70s era appartment buildings and 80s barge terminals. Yeah that was not better.

What makes Top Gun special and better is that it don't use CGI.

We cannot compare this movie with the greatness that was Maverick

 

[pramod]

Meh, the CGI makes everything looks too clean and neat, which is a problem I have with most modern "war" movies.

War is supposed to be ugly, gritty, dirty, and smelly. You don't get the feel of that from modern war movies that use CGI.

But, maybe using CGI is not the problem, it's just that it's not advanced enough to make us believe it's not CGI. We have a long ways to go.

It's not about the technology not being advanced. It's that the freedom CGI gives filmmakers makes them go overboard. If they can choose the lighting they will chose the prettiest most perfect lighting they can. They will frame every shot with immaculate precision. They will place the camera in impossible places and make them move in ways no real camera could move.

These things compound and our brains easily detect fakeness. When CGI is done well you don't notice it.

Top gun Maverick had cgi as well right?

 

[Raven117]

Top gun Maverick had cgi as well right?

Yes. But very little. Like 10 percent. Most were real shots.

This movie is mostly Cgi.

I don't disagree with you, though one of the hest movies about a war is based on the Korean War (MASH)

 

[sol_bad]

I doubt this is true. The actual mission at the end would be full of CGI.

Whole movie could take place on the leyte/in the air, which i think was anchored off of Japan most of the war or atleast a lot of it, there were few Korean pilots at the time and the operated out of ground bases and not aircraft carriers

The actual story of the 2 men is pretty epic, amazing pilots and sacrifices.
Wonder if Scott mendelson of forbes won't like it while slobbering over the next Chinese propaganda movie.

 

[John Bilbo]

Looks good

Some, yes. Hence “very little” in my post.

 

[nkarafo]

Looks like the typical sappy war movie so no.

 

[Catphish]

Looks good. I'm in.

But you're high if you think this will dethrone Maverick.
