Oh, boy! Another movie where the AI necromancers can rip Val Kilmer’s soul into smaller pieces! I hope it does well. Then more movies can have AI Val Kilmer. If they do well, we can eventually replace all actors and actresses with AI Val Kilmer. Imagine if that does well! We can replace your mom with AI Val Kilmer! Your cat with AI Val Kilmer! All shall Val
Admittedly, I’ve not seen either Top Gun. Never really appealed to me. I do think it’s sweet that he was able to be included in the last movie. I do have skin in the game, however, because I am a KNOWER of TRUTH. THE TRUTH is that Tombstone is one of the goddamn greatest movies of all time and that’s in large part because of Kilmer’s performance as Doc Holliday.
I’m sure the computers can do a serviceable job of making a facsimile of an actor but the physicality won’t be there. The person won’t be there. Movies are better when real actors are on sets with people and interacting with the things the viewer will see. Even if there’s a stand in for the digital “actor”, things aren’t gonna feel right. To quote the wise philosopher Harry S. Plinkett, “You might not have noticed it, but your brain did.”
You should watch the original at least. It’s quite good, but has a cheesy 80s blockbuster aesthetic with overly earnest acting. The newer one is not terrible, but it wouldn’t stand on its own feet without Cruise or the original.

Are you upset about Val Kilmer appearing in the last movie, or is this something you are anticipating definitely happening for this one?

I’m not even a Western guy but this shit still blows my dick off every time I see it

Requiescat in pace, Val

It’s one of those movies I’ve intended to watch a dozen times but haven’t made the time for. I’ll give it a watch here soon!
