Mission: Impossible - Fallout

Hi everyone! I'm Thomas and today I'm going to talk about the movie "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" by Christopher McQuarrie. (Without Spoilers.)

First of all, we must know what the movie is about:

Sinopsis:

"Often, the best intentions turn against us. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT introduces Ethan Hunt and his MFI team along with some family allies in a race against time after a mission goes wrong."

I mean, how the hell is it possible they had to make it to the sixth movie to get the best stuff out of the whole franchise? This one, without lying to you, I think it's my favorite action movie. First, before talking about how Tom Cruise is a great star and how he easily fits into any facet of his character that he is given; I want to talk about other things because that's basically in all the movies, it's always the same. So I'd better talk about how this actor combined with great acrobatics, a top cast, and above all some great cinematographic shots, brought this film to such a high level.

What I did like it.

I mean, I like movies with random action; like the movies that feature The Rock, I think they're a different kind of entertainment, but entertainment at last. But Mission Impossible reminded me how much I liked its kind of action even more. For how far they can go with it, but at the same time not look stupid, but look real. Actually, at various times, the film if I manage to get tense or get a scare or corner my mind with a "I do not know how the fuck will come out of there"

There were times when you were watching an action scene, right? Example Tom hanging from a helicopter. You could tell the difference in those scenes, less cuts, different angles, and the like. And when you realized that it was really Tom who was hanging from a helicopter at a great height, it was when he gave you a feeling of satisfaction and nerves at the same time about how Tom took on those difficult scenes that would not be so good otherwise. Really, the cinematographer must have my great respect for doing a great job of locating his characters. Every moment we know where Ethan, the villain, his teammates, whoever he is. Which gives it a lot of credibility.

And besides, the shots MI6 gives you, they give you from every angle. From a helicopter, motorcycle or chase, and those scenes make you really feel like you're inside those scenes taken with great artistic creativity. They never cut fast, never cover anything up and never use tricks to hide perspectives to hide weak spots. Oh, right; MI6 has no action scenes with weak points. The last few years have seen action movies that I've loved, like Mad Max, John Wick 2 or Baby Driver, and since then, no other movie has left me with the same feeling that MI6 left me with. Especially when there are so many action scenes that they easily take your breath away.

I have to make it clear that I'm not really exaggerating when I say that every scene is great, they're all framing and none of them are easily forgotten. They are all brutal, even small scenes or scenes of great magnitude like a helicopter chase, where every jump, every blow, every moment is perfect.

I think MI6 is a perfectly made spy movie. Yes, there are times when there are no punches or chases, but in those little moments there are plot-twists so big that they lead to the plot in different turns, and each turn ends up being bigger, and better than the last one. At times you felt as if the plot was getting complicated but once the film was a little advanced, you could understand what was happening easily. All they did was take different routes, some you see coming, some you don't, but they always end up being amazing.

Really, you can never expect anything from anyone, from the great introduction to the great ending there are always things going on with plans that are quite "impossible" for people like us, but that make sense for them. Oh, and speaking of the aptitude of the characters, it's great to see how even though they show people who had been highlighting 5 movies before and show us even more how capable they can be. I don't think there's a weaker member, because everyone becomes special and good at just what they do, and everyone on Ethan's team has their moment to prove it.

I never thought that Luther (In case someone forgot, the hacker) would take back such a leading role and handle sentimentality so well. And I really liked Rebecca Ferguson's character a lot more as an ally of Tom's team than as a goal to pursue, which was in the last movie. And, Solomon Lane, he went from being one of the worst things about MI5 to one of the best villains in the whole franchise (see what I mean by bringing great versions of his characters?).

And, bless Henry Cavill. I think what, this film really made it worth the trouble Superman to have the lousy CGI on his face. They were saying that Henry Cavill was a great actor, and so on. But it wasn't until this movie that I realized how Class A this actor is. With my hand on my chest, I'd say this was his best performance of his entire career. And his character, God. He may be one of the good guys, but it's great to see him as a pretty annoying opponent for Tom too. It's like Henry was a hammer, and Tom was a knife.

What "I didn't like it".

Actually, I think this film is almost perfect, but it does have little things that we could "criticize" that could easily be said in a single paragraph. For example, some characters sometimes do give a bit of trouble in the plot. The Baldwin character is the typical one who explains what's going on in the plot in case you get a little lost. And Benji's character, if it hadn't been so important in other films, would have been very ineffective in this one. And the fact that the dialogues go by so fast, that if you get distracted for a single second, you could miss the movie in a big way. The latter, in fact, is not bad, it is good that we are treated intelligently but it is a detail that must be taken into account before watching the film.

This movie really gave me everything, action scenes, each one recorded in my head as if I were watching the movie every day. And we finally examined Ethan Hunt's emotional side, and I love that. It has a few minor mistakes, but they are totally forgivable for the rest of the wonders that the film gives. Mission Impossible 6 is an extremely good movie, and could easily be positioned in the top 3 of my favorite movies so far this year.

Rating: 9.7/10.
