Probably? Who can say as the new one's not out yet.
These films aren't heavy on plot so you're probably ok, but from the trailers it looks like Dead Reckoning will have returning characters from Fallout.
Fallout also links back to Rogue Nation as an important part of its plot is ... fallout, if you will, from the events of Rogue Nation.
I know it isn’t out yet but that doesn’t mean that the story or spoilers haven’t got out.
I don't know any spoilers for the new film but I would say definitely watch Fallout first. Parts of it wouldn't have made sense if you hadn't seen Rogue Nation, which mightn't have mattered too much with these films but still...
Why wouldn’t you watch Fallout before watching this? The story has definitely become more serialised since McQuarrie took over, so there’s definitely forward progress and character development there that will carry over here going by the trailer. But more importantly: it’s a bloody great film, and IMO the best in the series to date. Makes perfect sense to catch up on it before considering seeing this, would be silly not to.
Asked the smart speaker when M:I would be out and she replied mentioning DR part 2 in 2024. Got it right when I asked again after I said M:I 7.
On a vaguely related note, Cruise's birthday today, 61 year old. More than ever the Just For Men will be doing its job. There can't be that many "Cruise does crazy Buster Keaton shít" movies left in him, surely.
Jackie Chan is still going at 69 even if he is slowing down a bit now and I'd say he is more Buster Keaton than Cruise.
As long as Cruise can stay physicaly fit I can see him doing many of the major driving, riding, flying and slow mo running for a few more years.
No explosion ? I suppose they will use CGI to put that in.
MI 1, 2 & 3 are free on All 4 now.
4, 5 & 6 will be added Thursday, Friday & Saturday if anyone wants to binge them before going to see 7 in the cinema next week.
Is Chan still going? On reflection it has been a while since I've seen him headline something - and his American work had become very ... "safe"? Whereas Cruise just seemed to amp up the set pieces, like he saw The General and went, "that, but more".
why is it opening here on a Monday?
Meh, why not - we get to see it sooner that way :)
Many of the reviews are predictably ecstatic. Roll on next week - it’s the one blockbuster series that gets me properly thrilled to see the new one. A hard-earned status amid oceans of muck!
even a 5 star from the guardian lol
My body is ready.
Technically Fallout was very exciting and looked great, but plot wise there wasnt much going on and it was pretty illogical.
Its all at a breakneck speed, it could have done with a bit less action and more plot.
Thats proper film making, not the cgi nonsense so prevalent nowadays.
Have to applaud Cruise and McQuarrie.
Two rotten ones now so down to 98 percent, but it does look fantastic can't wait to see it.
Compare and contrast with the new Indiana Jones train top scene...it looked like a computer game character at points!
I can feel the energy for this, its one where Ill grab and kids and say, were going to the cinema.
As much as I've loved the McQuarrie era of barnstorming physical stunts, I do wish Brad Bird got to direct a couple more of these; or indeed a Bond flick. His talent for the caper and super science set-pieces has always been so good...
Getting great reviews.
Tom Cruise saving action cinema.
Finally, a blockbuster film to go see in the cinema.
Ghost Protocol is still my favourite M:I film, Rogue Nation is great but I'm not a fan of the anti-climactic ending and whilst Fallout definitely has some of the best action the plot is a mess that I still can't explain even after several rewatches. GP is so much fun and feels more like a team movie too.
Back up to 99% just now anyway..
Not a bad sign to be hovering around 98% to 100% 😁
Possibly the most childishly gleeful Mark Kermode has come across in years; even Simon Mayo was effusive. The bit about Kermode's notes was funny. F My Hat.
Should be seeing this on Friday lunchtime.
film4 doc with more unseen footage from the film.
Twitter has it uses and this is a brilliant bit of marketing.
Turn on the sound.
Yeah they were both gushing over it and it's a good sign when both of them are in agreement. A good few times mark has liked a film but Simon hated it, and I'd take Simon's opinion more readily than mark's lately. This does look like it could be pretty decent
Thought this might have veen out on Wednesday or Friday did not realise it was out so soon. That's OK.
As for anyone wondering if they need to see "Fallout" before this, I seen it recently and I doubt it. Maybe Ethans Wife will turn up in this again but that's about all I see turning up in this from "Fallout.
Heading to see this tonight, can't wait.
booked in for 12:40 today at Odean Coolock, its just been cancelled on me, and they are not showing it at all today :/ https://www.odeoncinemas.ie/cinemas/coolock/ its on tmw
