Slickly made, it's a fairly entertaining watch that doesn't provide much beyond surface thrills, although many have had fun analyzing its (unintentional?) homoerotic content. May 7, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's still the same old Top Gun, retaining every frame of ridiculousness and emphatic acting that turned the Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer production into a legend. February 8, 2013 | Rating: C | Full Review…

The 3D is impressive considering it wasn't shot for that, and the sound delivers full throttle engine roars and the legendary soundtrack sounds as crisp as ever. February 8, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
