I saw it at the Golf IMAX on Friday. I-95 was as screwed up as I
have ever seen it, so I got there after the film started (even
having allowed a 40 minute cushion) and had to sit on the first
row, which is not ideal IMAX territory, and still thoroughly enjoyed
it. Cruise was engaging, the supporting cast was good, and they
got in some genuine emotion with Kilmer. Furthermore, it was
straight-ahead adventure with very good aerial sequences and not a
hint of politics or wokeness: there was no gung-ho patriotism, but
all the cast were Navy, and confident they were the good guys, and pro> if anyone on the team was rainbow-adjacent, it stayed a personal
matter. You could quibble about where the "5th Generation" fighters
came from, or exactly where the target was, but it *would* be quibbling.

What's not in Columbia anymore..
One technical problem, a few tons of unenriched uranium would not be a problem if spread around a valley. Uranium isn't in itself that "hot."
Also, why would they care if it contaminated some crappy area of an enemy desert country?? Not sure where I stand on the lack of politics, or the unnamed country. I know Hollywood has to kiss everyone's --s, but I think predicating the story on some
real politics (how about combat between China and the U.S. over Taiwan?) would make it more interesting, but I get the financial aspects of this.
