Top Gun: Maverick movie review

Top Gun: Maverick

Great movie, just too much plot armor.
Top Gun (1986) was a phenomenal blockbuster, and the second one, 36 years later, is Top Gun Maverick (2022) in theaters now.  There are a lot of advancements in technology in the second movie.  The Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) made you feel you were really there, and it also made you feel like the actors were flying the jets themselves, because they were! Let me explain. This "Flying" was a combination of CGI and the actors actually flying the jets, because the movie crew couldn't go out to the Himalayas or the Arctic and start shooting footage of the actors flying around mountains in Super Hornets, so they picked Lake Oroville, Feather River Canyon and made the place look like it was snowing. At the end of the movie, Maverick flies off into the distance while Lady Gaga's "Hold my Hand" is playing. However, the movie characters have too much plot armor. Maverick went crashing down at Mach 10 and survives, not to mention that both Mav and Rooster blew up, and both of them survived! Afterwards, Maverick gets targeted by a large enemy helicopter and every single bullet misses him! Overall, great movie, but could've been better.
