Top Gun: Maverick yang akan rilis di bioskop di seluruh dunia pada hari Jumat ini bisa disebut sebagai film khas Tom Cruise. Pertama, karakternya yang penuh kepercayaan diri, Captain Pete Maverick Mitchell, sudah tertera dalam judulnya. Dan kedua, kehadiran Tom Cruise adalah yang paling penting dan bertanggung jawab atas adanya Top Gun: Maverick. Ini adalah sekuel dari film yang jauh dari apa yang biasa dikritik oleh orang-orang. Top Gun sendiri juga tidak bertahan dengan baik, tetapi Tom Cruise jelas telah berkembang dengan baik. Ia adalah aktor terbesar dalam jenisnya saat ini di Hollywood. Sutradara dari Top Gun: Maverick, Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy), memahami kedua hal itu, juga pesona dan kekuatan yang dimiliki Cruise, serta kegagalan film asli itu, dan menghasilkan kelanjutan yang jauh lebih baik di sebagian besar departemen. Meskipun diakui, Kosinski hanya mengejar ambang keberhasilan yang rendah.

Top Gun: Maverick is a Must-Watch Tom Cruise Movie
**Tom Cruise’s Star Wattage**
Tom Cruise is undeniably a major star in Hollywood, and his star power is the driving force behind the existence of Top Gun: Maverick. While the original Top Gun may not have aged well, Cruise himself has remained a prominent actor in the industry. In fact, he is currently the biggest actor of his kind in Hollywood.
**Director Joseph Kosinski Understands the Charms and Failures of the Original Film**
Director Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on Tron: Legacy, understands both the charm and power of Tom Cruise, as well as the flaws of the original Top Gun film. He delivers a follow-up that excels in most areas, although it must be acknowledged that he had a low bar to clear.
A Focus on Mission
**A Ludicrous Mission from the Start**
Unlike the original film where a ludicrous mission was thrust upon the fighter pilots, Top Gun: Maverick centers around a ludicrous mission from the start. Maverick and his superiors meticulously go over every detail, coaching not only their students but also the audience. By the end of the film, viewers have a clear understanding of the mission, showcasing Kosinski’s understanding of the film’s premise.
Action-packed Entertainment
**Thrilling Action Sequences**
Action lovers will not be disappointed by Top Gun: Maverick. The film delivers high-flying action, with genuine stunts performed by Tom Cruise himself. The use of real cockpits and skies instead of CGI adds to the legibility and awe of the action sequences. Watching the film on a large screen, preferably an IMAX theater, is highly recommended.
A Delicate Balancing Act
**Struggling to Balance Escapism and Deep Emotions**
While Top Gun: Maverick excels in its action sequences, it struggles to find a balance between being an escapist American summer blockbuster and a film with deep emotional stakes. With a screenplay worked on by three credited writers, including Christopher McQuarrie, the film teeters between these two genres.
An Evolved Film
**A Departure from the Original**
Top Gun: Maverick diverges from the original film, reflecting the changes in society and cinema. It does away with elements like unintentional homoeroticism and introduces new scenes like an American football game instead of a volleyball match. Top Gun: Maverick is not the typical Tom Cruise film either, with fewer running and fighting scenes. However, there are moments of classic Cruise charm and a blatant product placement for a well-known car brand.
The Journey of the Maverick
**Maverick’s Last Mission and Personal Growth**
Maverick, played by Tom Cruise, has sabotaged his own career in order to remain in the role of Captain. Assigned his final mission, Maverick is surprised to find that he is not meant to fly it. Instead, he is tasked with teaching the best of the best. Throughout the film, Maverick confronts his guilt over his late friend’s death, develops relationships with his trainees, and ultimately grows as a person.
The Art of Top Gun: Maverick
**Captivating and Tense Top Gun Dynamics**
Top Gun: Maverick effectively captures the essence of TOPGUN training, portraying the tension between characters and the high-stakes nature of their missions. The film showcases the intricate relationships between Maverick and his trainees, as well as his superiors. There is an undercurrent of tension throughout the movie, which adds to the overall experience.
Apolitically Focused Action
**No Focus on the Enemy**
Similar to the original film, Top Gun: Maverick does not emphasize the identity of the enemy. The enemy pilots remain faceless, and their nationality is never mentioned. The movie is intentionally apolitical, avoiding any direct references to specific countries or conflicts.
A New Era of Movie Release
**An Evolving Film Industry**
Technology has greatly influenced the film industry since the release of the original Top Gun. Top Gun: Maverick embraces the advancements by incorporating real footage captured by US Navy pilots on YouTube. While the film successfully utilizes these technological advancements, it also struggles to adapt to the changing landscape of movie releases.
A Well-executed Sequel
**A Successful Follow-up**
Despite the challenges of creating a sequel to a beloved classic, Top Gun: Maverick manages to overcome many obstacles and delivers an entertaining film. Tom Cruise and director Joseph Kosinski understand the expectations and requirements of the film, resulting in a largely successful final product. However, it may not fulfill all the dreams and expectations promised by the movie.
*Top Gun: Maverick is now available in cinemas worldwide.*
