TOP GUN: MAVERICK is the perfect blockbuster. Not only did it feature dazzling aerial combat sequences, but I actually cried, it’s that emotional. And call me crazy, but I humbly predict that it WILL land a Best Picture nod next year. It’s not just THAT good, it’s VERY good. 😉

The final cut is of 2 hours and 11 minutes, which became the result due to the production who worked extremely hard to sort and filter from an immense amount of available footage.
Kosinski previously revealed that they“shot as much footage as the threeLord Of The Ringsmovies combined,” which was around 800 hours. He described it as“hard-earned,” since “…Out of a 12- or 14-hour day, you might get 30 seconds of good footage.”
