Deep meaningful situations

I find Dmitry one of the best authors I've ever read. His type of writing keeps you in the story terribly. He's way to easy to read do you end up lost in pages for hours not even realising it. There's no hard bits to go through, just one amazing idea of post apocalyptic world and human kind trying to deal with its consequences. Next to the great thought of the system of an underground survivers, there are plenty of moments where the author is focusing on human kind and it's weaknesses, twitches and their behaviour.

Quite tragic, not impressed

Quite tragic and saddening to see a timeless classic being remade in this manner. The writing for the lines was very simple with very cliche one liners that are trying to hard to be cool. The outfits are too modern for the setting. I like the idea to revamp it but either choose to be modern or keep everything in the right time frame. You can't have mines and castles whilst wearing hoodies with drawstrings and overly shiny leather.

"I feel the need. The need... for speed!"

"This is what in call a target rich environment"

"Son, your ego is writing cheques your body can't cash"

1980s action classic (that I was all of 7 when it was released) starring a then up and coming (and young!) Tom Cruise as Maverick, the hotshot pilot who gets a shot at Top Gun: the military training school for the top 1% of naval pilots.

This has a great cast (Michael Ironside, Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, Tom Cruise himself) alongside some great aerial battles, but does drag in bits.
