Should be decent popcorn fare.

JP Liz V1 · 03-03-2017 10:51pm

I wonder what epic stunt Tom Cruise will do himself in this one

Slydice · 03-03-2017 11:02pm

Could be about time it goes full circle and he does bad guy like Voight in Mission Impossible 1

learn_more · 08-03-2017 2:06am

I wish I had as much money as Tom Cruise has made off even one of these 6 movies.

brevity · 08-03-2017 12:53pm

The last one was poor in my opinion.

JoeA3 · 08-03-2017 2:17pm

It peaked at #3 in my opinion. That was an excellent action movie in its own right. The late Philip Seymour Hoffmann was an excellent bad guy in that instalment.

#4 had its moments, the sequence in Dubai was very good but otherwise forgettable enough. #5 was very so so.

Of course #2 was the biggest turkey of the lot.

Henry Cavill cast.

Sad Professor · 17-03-2017 11:33pm

I assume Cavill is playing the villain. I don't think Ethan needs anymore sidekicks, er teammates. Remind me, was the door left open for the Syndicate to return?

JP Liz V1 · 13-06-2017 9:42pm

Michelle Monaghan back and Angela Bassett joins too

So production on this has been halted because Tom Cruise broke an angle while doing a stunt. He was jumping from one high rise rooftop to another when he landed hard up against a wall and broke his ankle.

Got to hand it to Tom, willing to do a stunt himself in order to make it even better.

branie2 · 20-08-2017 10:11am

I hope it'll be a good, I'm a big fan of the Mission Impossible series.

The Black Oil · 25-01-2018 1:58pm

Title confirmed - Mission: Impossible - Fallout

Empire

Now, trailer, please.

JoeA3 · 27-01-2018 2:45pm

Cruise and his co stars were on Graham Norton lastnight. He mentioned the first trailer will be shown at the Super Bowl.

dr.fuzzenstein · 27-01-2018 2:50pm

Funny how Impossible, F&F and Transformers never get any hate despite being mindless popcorn fare. As soon as a new Star Wars, Star Trek, Bond or Marvel movie gets announced there would be at least 3 comments along the line of "I bet it's sh*t" even before script or cast has been announced.

PerrinV2 · 27-01-2018 3:51pm

Oh transformers get plenty of hate.... And for good reason.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 MI movies so looking forward to this.

Slydice · 27-01-2018 4:18pm

Gah! Thought there'd be a trailer!

Rewatched the opening titles from 1 for a fix:

AidoEirE · 27-01-2018 4:48pm

Mission Impossible series is top notch imo, bar MI:2.
Think cruise is pure class the way he goes full ham on his own stunts. Their popcorn movie's big time but none the less enjoyable. Looking forward to it

There is a reason for that. The Mission Impossible films are relatively new and young whereas Star Trek , Star Wars movies are older and fans like them to stick with canoon and continuity and not mess with that. So when someone like for instance JJ Abrams tried to do Star Trek or more recently Rian Johnson tried Star Wars fans get angry and upset because it's not how they want it or like it. bond and Marvel movies
The Bond movies I never seen any hate for and don't see why there would be but with Marvel movies its because comics obsessed fans want everything like that and think thats how it should . So when it ends up different they get upset and angry.
That's my two cents on it anyway. Me I just enjoy them. Life is too short to moan about such silly things.

With Bond they were lucky to re-cast Bond in a much simpler time, so it's expected and allows the "franchise" to stay fresh and change. Star Trek and Star Wars are very canon heavy, and some fans see themselves as the gatekeeper of that canon (and the makers don't help themselves by trying to explain every little thing, even if it's just down to limited budget, or lack of CGI when it was made, i'm surprised we don't have a story on why most of the original Star Wars aliens move like a person wearing a rubber suit..).

MI is much better produced than F&F, then there's a huge gap down to Transformers, reviews seem to reflect this (the scripts in transformers are shockingly awful).

In both those trailers, it actually looks like they used the footage where he broke his ankle. In that scene he was supposedly not meant to make the jump but hit off the side of the building. But it definitely looks like the footage I've seen of the accident, the angle that his foot ended up hitting the building at is pretty clear.
Maybe I'm totally wrong, what do others think?

Falthyron · 05-02-2018 1:14am

Yup, certainly looks like it! Grabbed this shot from the trailer.

Slydice · 05-02-2018 1:19am

Ouch! :eek:

markc1184 · 05-02-2018 1:19am

Think Tom said on the Norton show that the footage would be staying in.

Sad Professor · 05-02-2018 1:30am

Reminds me of this:

Buster was supposed to make the jump but missed. He kept the shot in and totally re-wrote the sequence to match.

With his love of stunts, Cruise is probably the closest thing to a modern day Buster Keaton in American cinema.

The Black Oil · 05-02-2018 6:37am

They sure threw a lot into that trailer. The start had me wondering if it was Mission: Impossible - Spectre.

pixelburp · 05-02-2018 9:36am

Hey, if nothing else these movies are clearly keeping Ving Rhames in clover, 'cos lord knows he doesn't pop up in anything else these days!

Looks solid; number 5 was OK and possibly the weakest MI since the John Woo sequel, so hopefully this is a return to the heights of Ghost Protocol. I do see the bad guy from 'Rogue Nation' has returned - notwithstanding the main cast, I think this is the first time a MI film is actuall behaving as a narrative sequel to a previous iteration, right?

Re. the Cruise failed stunt; that kind of thing happens quite a lot in Hollywood: obviously you don't want your actors putting themselves in danger or getting gravely injured, but it can help a scene. I always remember Lord of the Rings, and how Viggo Mortensen legitimately breaking his toe helped sell a dramatic moment: apparently that cry of anguish was real

Sad Professor · 07-02-2018 10:21pm

And it gets better. Tom Cruise did his own helicopter stunt piloting! Including the downward spiral seen in the trailer.

I wonder how Cruise gets movie insurance ? when he risks his life doing these sort of mad stunts.

razorblunt · 08-02-2018 1:51pm

I'm intrigued by it. But Cavill's punches are bloody awful, the first one missed by a country mile. Poor editing.

Ok, that looks cool! Feels like it has substance, action and a story!

Other notes:
- Theme song being used well!
- Henry Cavill looking well placed.

Also:

Mission Impossible >James Bond

Hande hoche! · 22-05-2018 9:12am

Have certainly enjoyed the last few mission impossible films more than the last several Bond releases.

pixelburp · 22-05-2018 9:45am

I think what helps is that Mission Impossible isn't as beholden to a rigid, commercial template as the Bond franchise; lets be honest, the latter is now little more than a slim excuse for Tom Ford, Rolex and a dozen other luxury brands to advertise in-front of a captive audience for 2 hours - wrapped around one of the thinnest non-characters in cinema.

Also, Mission Impossible hit upon a an accidental approach to let each movie be its own thing, with a small strand of continuity linking each film. In what other mainstream, blockbuster franchise could you have Brian DePalma, John Woo, JJ Abrams and Brad Bird all directing a film? Apart from the requisite death-defying stunt in the continued middle-age crisis of Tom Cruise, all the films are allowed exist as independent creative projects.

Slydice · 22-05-2018 2:21pm

Slydice · 03-06-2018 9:31pm

Because

Literally

Of course he did a HALO JUMP! :eek:

FunLover18 · 12-07-2018 9:30pm

Twitter responses are extremely positive. Might start my rewatch of the series this weekend.

FunLover18 · 12-07-2018 9:52pm

91 on metacritic.

johnny_ultimate · 12-07-2018 10:01pm

If you had have told me 15 years ago that the continuing Mission Impossible series would become the most reliable series for ludicrous, no-nonsense, thrilling action... I would have called you a goddamn liar.

But here we are: no more reliable summer thrills than Tom Cruise being a mad bastard for these gloriously dumb films.

I rewatched the series last month. It is all great except MI2. I know it is a cliche to say so but it really is rubbish and is the black sheep of the franchise. I love all the rest.

pixelburp · 12-07-2018 10:25pm

It's a franchise that by all accounts shouldn't still be here, yet has maintained a high reputation that's legitimately earned. My only quibble is that it's a shame McQuarrie has returned and they didn't continue the trend of each film getting a new director.

I think the MI franchise has inherited that mantle from Bond. For most of that franchise, one of the main selling points of those movies were the insane stunts and unique thrilling action. I think MI has eclipsed Bond in that regard. I still think the last two Bonds were very good though and I would not be surprised if Q's more active role in the action was inspired by Simon Pegg's excellent addition to MI.

It makes no difference since they stopped hiring auteurs after Woo, or at least stopped letting directors go wild as if they were making one of their own movies. I don't want to say Abrams Marvelised the franchise (though he has produced every film since III), but Bird and McQuarrie haven't moved far beyond the stylistic template he established. And tbh it's probably for the best.

johnny_ultimate · 12-07-2018 11:11pm

Yep, there’s an awful lot to be said for perhaps the one major franchise that consistently favours old-fashioned, death-defying spectacle. Pretty much every other major series boasting these sorts of budgets are CG-a-ramas, even the good ones. But there’s an old school approach to the Mission Impossible films, matched by savvy directorial choices like De Palma, Abrams, Bird, McQuarrie and even Woo (although that was closest to a failed experiment) who all have their own unique eye for thrills even if they’re not quite out-and-out auteurs. Even as it settled into something more approaching a ‘house style’, there’s an enjoyably different texture to all the films from MI3 onwards even if they’re all from the same basic materials and fit snugly together.

The good sense for director choices is what sets them apart from Bond - there’s a certain persistent blandness to that series, including the better ones (but especially in cack like Die Another Day), that only Skyfall really properly addressed. That’s not a sense I get with MI, even with the aforementioned ‘house style’.

While CG is hardly a wholly evil tool - and I’m certain it’s used liberally in these films too - spectacle cinema these days is almost universally over-reliant on the...ahem... completely impossible. Here’s one series that takes a somewhat different tact - and even if they’re hardly masterpieces, it’s a shame there’s only the rare other film out there taking this endearing approach on this scale.

I'm just back from it, caught a preview screening in the imax cineworld. No actual spoilers below, just my opinion on the movie without going deep, ill tag it just encase people don't want to be influenced prior to seeing it.

I didnt like it much,

very little to enjoy outside the action in this one, its just a rollercoaster ride of action sequences one after the other for 2 and a half hours, i actually had a headache walking out of it..

Some of the dialogue in the movie was just terrible, like whoever wrote it, wasnt a writer at all and just wrote out the most generic conversations just to link the endless action sequences together. It was literally non stop action wise, no give, kinda like the recent avengers movie but lacking any charm/humor/wit/creativity story telling wise.

Id give it a 2 out of 5.
