My mini-review of TOP GUN: MAVERICK.

Short version: …Yeah, Sonny Bunch’s theory makes sense. Dammit, Sonny.

Slightly longer version: you can look up Sonny’s theory online. All I can say is, it works. So does TOP GUN: MAVERICK as a movie. The cast had a good time, very much including the United States Navy, who apparently let the production crew borrow an aircraft carrier or two for a while. The conflict was slightly contrived – I have no idea who they were supposed to be fighting, or why the USA couldn’t have jammed air superiority long enough to drop a couple of MOABs on the target – but you’re not there for the conflict. You’re there to have fun. You’ll have fun at TOP GUN: MAVERICK.

Also: 请注意 Maverick 夹克上的日本和台湾国旗。因为去你妈的，中华人民共和国。在你耳边操你。
