I just saw this, here's my review:
The suspense was good, but why did they make Kamala Harris president?
Followup, why was every ally soldier either gay or a woman?
Other than that, the movie was decent— I especially enjoyed a lot of the callbacks, but it had the fewer "spy" scenes compared to other Mission Impossible films. I've always thought those were the stronger than the action, but the airplane fight looked a bit more believable than I thought it would from the poaster.
Overall, 3.5/5 decent watch.
What did you think about the "last" Mission Impossible film.
 
Never really minded much for the franchise, but maybe I'll watch the whole deal before watching this one.

Don't they have some quotas they need to fill? Cruise doesn't look like the guy who would protest this and just go along to get his movie made.

Oh yeah, the Oscars has an on-screen diversity requirement now, doesn't it?

I don't care about any of these modern blockbusters as movies, they're mostly boring, but I looked it up on IMDB and....

Why the fuck does this have a $400 million budget?
This is the most expensive movie ever made.
Now I'm mildly interested to at least see shit blow up on screen and for that price, more shit better blow up than ever blew up before.
I won't pay for it but I'll watch the spectacle eventually.

The cost is inflated for the last two Mission Impossible movies because there were massive delays and changes to the scripts due to stuff getting shut down due to Covid and the producers kept paying the crew rather than lay them off during the times when production was shut down.

There was also both WGA and SAGAFRA strikes during production. They still had to pay the wages to editors who didn't have any footage to edit.
 
Way too long, they could've trimmed a lot of scenes/make them shorter and the film would have flowed better, but also a pretty good blockbuster, especially when compared to the slop that Hollywood releases nowadays. The Entity should've played a far more active role rather than just being a 1337 h4xx0r dead set on nuking the world in my opinion, have it sent some UAVs to hunt Ethan and Gabriel or something like that
 
Easy worst in the series for me. Weird editing choices, too. fucking. long. and just way too dour and self-serious for an MI movie. They kill off the most personal villain in the series on a gag. Making Grace a stand-in for Elsa felt very weird to me. And despite the stakes being the highest in the series, I just couldn't bear to give a shit. The majority of the team are people we've barely known in the series. Ving Rhames and Rebecca Fergusons' presence are deeply missed.
The two setpieces (the submarine and biplane) are really, really damn great though. But by the time we got to them I just kind of couldn't care.
All in all, it kind of makes me like Dead Reckoning a lot less now as all the potential and ideas the last one were building too kind of have no real resolution or payoff here.
I still think it's high points are higher than most things coming out now but as supposed ending to a really fine series it left a bad aftertaste.
 
I'm not going to go into details to avoid spoiling, but:

I have tried to make heads or tails of Skynet's master plan, and I can't fucking make sense of it. For a supposedly God-tier AI that everyone is afraid of, it's fucking retarded.

It wants to enact the Georgia guidestones, but also survive a nuclear apocalypse.
It could have dumped 1 ton of fent in every fresh water system and achieved the same effect, but that's less dramatic.
 
Saw it a week ago, it's ok. Highlights are the Bi-plane chase scene and the scene where Ethan Hunt dives down to the artic submarine wreck. Luther's death is sad and also emotional but it kinda feels disconnected with the rest of the movie. Like what I mean is that the film feels like the script has gone through countless number of drafts that it was probably at it's best on it's first draft. The film establishes that the AI has amassed a doomsday cult of supporters and it's only ever relevant twice in the film before never being explored whatsoever. The AI entity is also said to be omnipresent and poses great power over the characters with the danger of it's deceptive and cunny devious nature but after the scene with Tom Cruise puts on the VR headset in the tanning bed it never really directly interacts with him again. The president is a black women that is totally not a stand in for fantasy Kamala Harris like that G20 movie and there is also a General character in her command that looks a lot like Mark Miley. He is portrayed as being a hero. The Russians are in the film and seems like they might have be a potential threat or even a potential begrudged ally of sorts. One character even offer to team up with them out of world ending fear but after a fire engulfs the artic research compound, they flee and are never seen again. The film makes a big deal of the dangers of decompression from surfacing after diving to the depth Ethan Hunt goes but when he does resurface the film completely forgets this and it's no longer matters. There is a scene where Simon Pegg gets shot and is dying but he ends up fine. The film also tries to tie everything from the previous movies. It can range from clever like having the guy from the drop room computer scene from the first movie return and we find out what happened to him and he joins Ethan's team. And it ranges to dumb like making the rabbits foot from the third movie to be revealed as the AI Entity in this film. It's ultimately a film that is kinda good but it feels like a much better and more self consistent version once existed in the earlier drafts of the script.

Tom Cruise's cheek muscles have definitely started to catch up with his age. Though he looks more like if he's still in his early to mid 50s instead of being 62.
