Review
Pete Mitchell who is known as his pilot name Maverick is a young and reckless but also a great pilot who takes risks like no others do. He and his wingman Goose get their change to be best of the best when they are given a possibility to be in Top Gun, elite team of the pilots. Training goes mostly well even with stupd risks Maverick takes until there is a tragedy what shakes his trust to himself to the point where it is not even sure if he ever wants to fly again or not. Finally there is a call for a real action and he provoes that he can get over the self blame and lack of faith to his skills when needed.
I have seen this movie at least once before and it was good back then and it was good still. There is enough depth, action of the movie is nice and energetic, characters have personalities and plot is also working well. For me this movie works very well and it is working well even on multiple views.
