    Saw it yesterday with the family. Early, cheap tickets and used up the rest of the gift card. The dozen or so previews was a bit much, but the theater was clean, and only about a dozen people watching the movie.

    The movie was okay, and probably worth the cheaper tickets, and the lack of other people in the theater for the early show.

    Without spoilers, the two pivotal parts of the movie are almost impossible given the controls the .mil has. Even the later one in escape mode, very unlikely. Some cheesy parts, some good acting that really made you feel what the characters would have felt. Yes, the flying scenes were cool, and they did a good job of portraying the tension. The lack of cussing, sex and general debauchery were fine with me, but those who like the gratuitous, and or the new wokeness of Hollywood will pan it.

    If cruise does "Evening of Thunder", "Laundering of Money" and "MockTails" I might just see them too, but probably not in the theater unless someone gives me another AMC giftcard.
    Good Shooting, MarkCO

    I watched the movie. I can remember all the flag level officers, and don't remember a General Debauchery!
