I love the people who don’t realize that this isn’t CGI and Tom Cruise is actually in a Super Hornet in these scenes. Yes a NAVY pilot is flying, but TC is in the back experiencing those G’s absolutely.
I agree with 100%. I didn’t even want to see it when my friend took me to the theatre. I went because I was bored and they really wanted to watch it. I was entertained throughout the whole film. I’ve watched it 4 times now and it’s become one of my favourite movies.
This scene might have been 100% real, but certain other scenes had some degree of CGI in it, like the scenes with the F-14 Tomcat, the first scene against the SU-57 specifically. They overlaid it with a CGI'ed F-14 that was actually an F-18. What I don't get, is CGI doesn't get the credit it deserves when it IS well done, but mostly gets shit on when it ISN'T.
Your the type to pick 1 line out of a song and focus only on that. Obviously some had to be CGI. But so much wasn't and you give no credit to that. You seam like the person who thinks the government has our best interests in mind. Good luck my sweet summer child. @jibronigibironi8959
@@SSIronHeart You can literally write a book on how to jump to conclusions with all that my probably sweet summer thing. I don't need to give credit to something that obviously doesn't need help getting credit. If its real, not gonna take much to make that look good. But making CGI look good, and real is an entirely different story. Even if its just one or two scenes I guarantee you dudes would be shitting all over it if they saw anything at all out of place. 😂
@@jibronigibironi8959 ok CGI from late 1990s. Most assume, correctly it's horrible... but 1 movie makes do much CGI look like it was made on MS paint. That movie is Starship Troopers. Masterpiece of CGI. Mid movie but great special effects and CGI.
@@SSIronHeart A lot of 90's movie CGI didn't really age that well. Starship Troopers looked great, though doesn't quite stack up to certain movies today like the last three planet of the apes movies. CGI though, truly doesn't get the credit it deserves. People never question how well done scenes in the Walking Dead are done. But even TV shows like that wouldn't even be remotely possible 20-30 years ago, while looking that good. There are certain scenes in that show where the zombies are 100% CGI, and these are small scenes. But no one even gives it a thought because it was so well done. It'd be shit on forever if it wasn't good though of course. 😂
Saw this 3 times in the theaters when it came out. When you heard that little musical number pump up when you see the computer screen showing the fighter jet heading towards the run that gave me the tinglies. You KNEW he was gonna do it even if it cost him his career to prove to them that it CAN be done. Scene was epic in so many ways. Very little dialogue, just facial expressions and reactions to the screen and Maverick making the run. So, so awesome. Also - Love Glen Powells (Hangman) reaction. Its almost like a "game recognizes game" moment for him.
To the girl reacting around the 13:00 minute mark that questions how they found a terrain that is like the site in the foreign country: well, they didn’t. He’s flying a flight path that is simulated to match the terrain they will encounter on the actual mission.
The reason it looks so real is cuz most of the cockpit footage of tom was taken in a real jet but a 2 seater with a navy pilot flying (not as fast or low obviously) and Tom mimicking his body moves.
I know one tidbit about filming locations for TGM, since QueenTofu asked. My childhood stomping grounds: the Cascade Mountains (WA state) provided some of the footage for the snowy mountain flying sequences, flying out of NAS Whidbey (Whidbey is an island in Puget Sound WA that should be on EVERYONE's bucket list!). And I believe some of the aerial canyon scenes were shot in the Columbia River Gorge (again WA state)... but I could be wrong about that. I think some actual top gun grads mentioned that training location in their post-film reactions.
I mean it also showed the difference between the simulated terrain and the actual terrain. When Mav pulled up, there was nothing there, but the computer showed a cliff face. They didn't need the terrain to match exactly, they just needed terrain that allowed them to set up a simulated course
Part of this Sequence was probably flown using an established, well known Military Training Route in WA State and Oregon designated "VR-1355", the 'VR' meaning 'Visual Rules'. It's designed as a high speed, low level Training Route that many Military pilots practice on in a variety of Aircraft from F/A- 18's and F-16's all the way to C-17 and C-130 Cargo planes.
Awesome movie!! Tom Cruise made a great call by not letting it Stream on TV till three months after release. This movie HAD TO BE SEEN in the THEATERS. The seen where he flies over the desert, is only 30 feet off the ground. The actual military pilot that did the scene, told the director afterwards, "I hope you got that in one shot, cause I'm not doing again". The pilot said that shit is dangerous flying that low to the ground.
There are multiple reasons for that. 30 feet is less than the length of the fuselage and far less than the wingspan of the F-18. When those engines are all wound up like that and booking it, that plane WILL suck dirt, dust and rocks up off the ground; Foreign Object Damage would literally be a killer at the speeds represented. People don't survive car crashes when they are 'only' going 75mph. The damage when travelling more than 400mph would be SO MUCH WORSE. Knots are even longer than miles; 400 Knots is about 460mph, which is more than 6 times the regular Highway speed. There is no surviving that if things go wrong.
Just remember people that the air force at one point where full of mavericks and some of the most well known were in some of the most brutal wars that the US has taken part in and they are the reason why we came out the victors even when the odds were not in our favor. They do not do this anymore due to the regulations. But if a war does come to our doorstep that is when we will need mavericks once again.
Natalie always says 'I like how this is so unbelievable'. Some of these things can be done. Tom Cruise actually learned to fly the F-18. And besides, it's a movie!
The credit for this sequence should not go to TC, it should really go to Jon Hamm, the reason this is believable is because of JH's facial expressions. JH was an excellent foil to TC throughout this movie.
All the reactors keep saying it looks so real, Well that's because it is real. He was actually in a jet plane hitting real G forces. He wasn't flying the actual plane, but he was in the plane, so it is real people!! 😁😎
That was my main reason for starting the channel a few years ago! I love showing smaller channels alongside the larger ones so people can rewatch their favorites and discover new creators, thanks for watching!
I hate how Tom Cruise leads copies of this movie by saying they flew in real jets. Everything was real flight. And no one paid attention. "It looks so real!"
And for everyone watching, Maverick completed the course in 2 Minutes, 14 point 84 Seconds. He had 16/100 ths of a Second left. He DID NOT complete the Course with Sixteen Seconds to spare. Do your Math, people. 08:19 Maverick was flying slightly nose down when he reached 10.3 Mach, which is 7,902 mph. His G Load was probably 1.5G... very gentle. Pulling 10G's after Bombs Away is extreme, which exceeded the F/A-18E's capability, physically distorting the Airframe and rendering the Aircraft unflyable. G load and Mach Number are two totally different measurements.
They didn't find a course that simulated the exact run, half of the time he's turning there's nothing to one side or the other (i.e. no need to turn), and when he does the climb / dive / climb for the attack run there's just a flat open target area. He's flying coordinates on a gps track.
Naval Aviators might call it that. A 'deck' is found on any ship, it's basically what everybody else calls the floor in a building or the ground when outside. 'Hit The Deck!' is known for being slang for 'get down on the ground fast!' whether it was a Navy term or not. Army soldiers have also been known to say 'hit the deck' and mean the same thing.
The number of reactors that say "they make it look so real"... do your homework, it is real - thats why it looks so damn good! Jeez are these people even proper movie fans???
The point of the format is to go in as blind as possible.. if they knew all the behind the scenes stuff before pressing play they would lose a lot of surprise and spoil plot points galore..
@@Wirenfeldt1990 dude it was all over the news and everywhere you looked that the cockpit scenes were filmed for real. It was a major selling point for the movie and they pushed it hard. Unless you lived in a dark room with the doors locked you would have seen or heard about this somewhere.
@@cheekythirtysix The number of people who have been tricked by the "cockpit scenes filmed in a real plane" to think it means "no CGI used for the planes" is hilarious. What brilliant marketing. They didn't lie, they just counted on people being morons.
'Do your homework'? REALLY? Do you even know how REACTION CHANNELS work? Would it even be a real and true 'reaction' if the reactors already knew everything about the film they were watching? The SURPRISE is part of the FUN. AND NOBODY ON EARTH automatically JUST KNOWS every teeny-tiny little detail about EVERYTHING. If YOU ran a reaction channel and ALWAYS did your homework first, your channel would be BORING and it would fail to get new subs because you will have always been spoiled in all manner of ways. Get it?
Why do so many react edits cut out the actual footage the second one of the “reactors” makes a single peep? I’ve noticed that across many of these compilations. It’s really jarring.

And loving every moment.
I saw this in the theater. This movie had no business being as good as it was. We knew Mav was going to make it, but that whole scene was so stressful
In IMAX it was amazing!

This gave me goosebumps watching this in the theater with the amazing sound effects echoing the theater. You felt as if you were in that cockpit
3:26 - it’s crazy how being in a real plane feels like being in a real plane.

That one second scene of Warlock containing his emotions when Mav makes it just chefs kiss

How do these people not know that, that is real not CGI He didn't fly the plane but he is really in the plane, that is 100% real.

C'mon, Admiral.
Your gut knows who!😎
By the immortal words if Sterling Archer... "Danger Zone."
I like how some of them marvel at “how realistic” it is, it’s easy… just have the actor learn to fly a fighter jet lol
Or ask the Navy to provide a plane and a pilot.
@@randomlyentertaining8287navy sent the actors to a boot camp to fly the planes in the movie.
Third one. It's realistic because it IS real, lady 😂
This level of badassery is awesome!
Great movie.

It is real he was in That plane
@13:00 they didn’t find identical land. They had invisible boundaries for training
I would love to see the reaction to the F-14 tomcat dogfight with the fifth generation fighter also known as an SU-57
People's reactions remind us that whenever possible, practical effects are superior to CGI.
All the reactors keep saying it looks so real, Well that's because it is real. He was actually in a jet plane hitting real G forces. He wasn't flying the actual plane, but he was in the plane, so it is real people!! 😁😎
