When Ridley Pearson announced he was going to write about the kids of the Kingdom Keepers, I knew I had to find out what he was going to do next. I loved the advances in technology we get with the future setting. There’s plenty of action to keep us turning pages, and I’m curious to see where this saga is going to go next. I did have a little trouble keeping all the characters straight early on, but the important ones quickly emerge as the action starts. And yes, the original Kingdom Keepers we know and love are here, and they have a slightly larger roll than I was expecting, which was wonderful. I’m already anxious to see where the characters are going to find themselves next.

It definitely leans heavily on the nostalgia button here and there, but everything it offers is so much fun that it never feels like it's relying on that nostalgia. The new cast are hugely likable, and just like the first time around, the comradery between the characters is well realised, and wholesome as hell, with some good hearted rivalry. Tom Cruise slips back into the role of Maverick like he never left, and is clearly having a blast once again in the drivers seat.
The action set pieces are exciting, and it boasts a genuinely intense and high octane finale, as well as emotional beats that had me welling up dammit. Combine all of this with a spruced up classic music score, and you have a true blockbuster that will thrill fans of the original, and new audiences alike.
I wasn't overly excited about Top Gun: Maverick during the lead up to release, but I would be a fool not to admit that it's a triumph. Absolutely loved it.
