    Watched it last night. Good flick. Really liked the flying scenes better than the original.

    Grabbed a blu ray copy for Sam today. I’m sure I’ll be forced to watch it next week.

    Saw it a few weeks ago at Atlantic Station in "Screen X." Screen X was not worth much, IMHO, over a standard screen. And, at $20, that's the last movie I will see in a theatre. And that was with me being the only person there.

    The movie itself was entertaining.

    It's not horrible. I actually took the kids to see it at one of those dinner theaters a few months ago and we enjoyed it for what it is.

    She looks better now than when she was a teenager and those massive jugs.

    Not in total agreement. She was the hot in the Rocketeer.

    I saw her in BTTF, but didn't know who she was (Lea Thompson had my attention 100%). I've only seen her in a clip of the movie where she is stuck in a Target all night - a song from that movie is one I like, and a YT vid uses clips from that movie with the song. That is all I know about her. My assumption is she has plenty of seat time on the old casting couch to get all those forgettable roles.

    Well, it finally arrived on Prime.

    Why didn't the Navy send in the new planes instead of the F-18's?

    Probably not enough of them for as much as they filmed and possibly they don't want them on camera that much too

    Fine piece of theatrical recruitment for the meat grinder

    pg_rider Doesn't race anymore...

    The explanation in the movie was because of the GPS jamming in the enemy region, rendering the Navy F-35 and it's GPS-guided munitions ineffective.

    In reality, I'm sure the real Navy didn't want the F-35 participating in the movie either for OPSEC or cost reasons....

    Past Glory I still have several AVON calendars from the 90's

    Check out CW Lemoine's youtube channel "Mover Ruins Movies". He does a review with another F-18 pilot and while they both love the film, they do give a hilarious play by play evaluation of what would have been real and why that would have made for a very bad movie.

    Ditto, I finally got to see it, commercial free on prime! Not bad FS! Lot's of cliche's too!
