Just came on here to share that. So its real, not cgi. Amazing. Just cannot wait, dont care if the plot is worse than sharknado!
Say what you like about Tom Cruise but his conviction to putting himself on the line and "doing his own stunts" has to be admired.
Using physical shots for most of the flying is a brilliant decision
Doesn’t suck to be Tom Cruise, does it?
He certainly makes the most of life from his chosen career.
Well, I showed my kid both trailers. Not only does he want to watch both, he was grinning ear to ear with excitement - it reminded my slightly of how I felt when I saw it at a young(er) age.
He now wants to be a Fighter Pilot...
No sign of iceman yet,
cant wait for this think it will be a corker
looks utter gorgonzola.

Saw the trailer on the big screen tonight, it was pretty AWESOME

On the other hand, there's one really obvious mistake- they've put a woman in their homoerotic sports scene.
a woman
Good grief, a woman in this day and age *eye roll at Northwind*....
Watched TG1 with Jnr last night it was of course AWESOOOOOOOMMMMME.... 😀
Women flying too instead of being in the typing, obviously it’s a fantasy.
SPOLIER ALERT
The 'leaks' suggest it is going to be faithful to the original.
Flying scenes largely non-CGI too. Av geek photographers have spotted 2 seat F18s in the US version of The Mach Loop painted with 'Maverick' on the side and full of fancy cameras.
Clearly some CGI (F14, SR-72, female pilots 😉), but looks like many of the hard yards have been done for real.
Bring it on!
PS exaggerated throttle and control column movements also seem to remain in fashion 👍👍👍

The video by Paramount on page 4 shows you that. 😅
Mrs foo has expressed an interest in seeing it, I didn't know she was that into aviation and fighter planes. Seems like the cinema will be full of women of a certain age.
exaggerated throttle and control column movements
I just saw the trailer again in an isense cinema - the deck takeoff jolt and full throttle bang goes right through your seat. Very awesome and slightly scary! That is where I’ll be watching this.
exaggerated throttle and control column movements
Everyone knows that the fly-by-wire controls on multi-million dollar fighter jets only work when banged violently to the extremes of their travel! 😉
Can't remember the specifics of it but there's a scene in the original movie where he says something about "hit the brakes and he'll fly right by" but then the camera shot shows him pushing the throttle to max power.

Think you missed my point there. Not totally sure how.

Silly head, that was the handbrake
Think you missed my point there.
No I think you missed mine. Its a bit biased to a have homophobic scene in 2019, there should really be eye candy for men, women and all members of the LGBT community (sorry if I've missed a category) surely.
Anyway lets keep it about planes, fire and loud noises.
When I saw the original in the cinema at the exact point he cranks the brake there was a powercut and all cinema went black for 5 Min.
Can't wait for new one.
Ah well in my rush I didn't spot the auto correct.
I'm not recommending anything btw.
Fair enough, Kryton57. Maybe it's best we do stick to planes and stuff.
Anyway, the new trailer did it's job, looking forward to it.
