Drones are bullshit. The real Top Gun school still exists to this day, and STILL teaches dogfighting. So what the fuck is this bullshit?!
One aspect that made the original so amazing was the use of actual fighter jets. How much do you want to bet CGI jets/drones are used in this one?
How much do you want to bet that this movie looks/feels/sounds NOTHING like the original? Therefore it is a sequel in name only.
My hope is that it will be a situation where some political asshole is totally sold on the drone program, but then a crisis occurs and the drones don't get the job done. So they have to realize the error of their ways and send up real pilots to kick some ass.
As for your concerns about CGI, I have the same concerns as well. I hope to God that's not the direction they go in. But this statement from the article at least gives me hope: "I think this is a movie that should be in 3-D and in IMAX, and again something that you can shoot practically."
It does seem like there is a lot of danger here for the movie to turn into, as you say, "a sequel in name only." But it seems like they realize that this is really Maverick's movie and that at least is encouraging.
