I've been waiting for this film my whole life. I was born in 1984 and saw Top Gun for the first time when I was around 10/11 years old in the mid 90's.

It instantly became my favourite movie of all time. Fast forward 25 years and nothing has changed since then. I've seen the original at least 20 times. I prayed this film would live up to my expectations. So many sequels fall short.

But within 10 minutes of this movie, I knew it was going to be exceptional and I wasn't disappointed. The action sequences blew me away! Tom Cruise was magnificent supported by a stellar supporting cast.

I know I'll watch this one at least 20 times again in the years to come! But the best thing this time round was I got to see this one at the cinema - the way it should and needs to be seen!

Believe the hype! It's even better than you imagine!

I write this after the third viewing in a week. I am the father of 4 children under the age of 8 and this is a permanent fixture on the tv right now at the kids request.

My first impressions were moderate, I wanted to hate it because it's so corny. But with more viewings I realised that, that is what is so great about the movie - it's a movie for kids/families!

It's just so wholesome and positive and uplifting and no matter how much I try to not like it... I really do like it! And the kids absolutely love it! Great soundtrack, likeable characters and uplifting vibe throughout.

If this wasn't a Christian film it would be a solid 7 stars. Don't let that put you off. The Christian vibe is present but wholesome, not overbearing and by no means shoved down your throat like a lot of Christian movies.

Sit down and watch this movie with your family! You'll love it!
