Top Gun: Maverick (2022)Directed by Joseph KosinskiThough I had the audio cassette of the soundtrack of Top Gun (1986) in the 1990s, and listened to the songs (two favourites were 'Top Gun Anthem' and 'Danger Zone', but somehow I was not fond of 'Take My Breath Away'), I never actually watched the movie till a year or so ago. It was a product of its time I suppose, I liked the action sequences and music but the drama and romance stuff was not for me at all. Hence I wasn't particularly anticipating the sequel from an overall movie/story perspective. However having heard of the technical aspects and how they actually fitted cameras in planes and took them thousands of feet into the air, I wanted to watch it.Got to see it on Wednesday night and I really liked the movie. The aerial scenes are all beautifully shot and gorgeous to look at, to use a bad pun, they did take my breath away. The story was pretty straightforward but they kept things engaging and the characters were good. I loved the callbacks to the original in terms of the visuals and music. The visuals were beautiful, so many shots had a very shallow depth of field. Such a well made movie, definitely one for a theatrical experience (unfortunately Hyderabad does not have an IMAX screen so I got to see it only in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio).I drew Tom Cruise as Maverick, the drawing was done with 0.5 mm 4B mechanical pencil on A5 notebook. You can swipe to see a scan and also a Story I posted about the font from the titles.Few other B&W pictures of the theatre are also included (INOX GVK One).#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#topgun #maverick #topgunmaverick #tomcruise#pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #pencilart#artistsoninstagram#667 / 3-Jun-22
