Mission Impossible: Fallout Review

Combining the Reckless antics of the cast with suspense-fully crafted storytelling from its writer/director, Mission Impossible: Fallout shines the way few action movies do.

This series of "Mission Impossible" is something that makes me feel incredible. In Hollywood, where traditional action movies are increasingly rare, these movies can be released one after another, and one is better than a word of mouth, which really makes me feel admired. However, after reading "Comprehensive Disintegration," I realized that the road to this series has gone even harder.   

The first "Mission Impossible" was released in 1996. It was an era when the audience had not seen the spy film and was not affected by the bombing of a new generation of Hollywood commercial films (actually, the same year "Don't kill the island" and "Independence Day" can be regarded as the originator of such films), so this is the main story of the Lonely Agent, the dragon and the dragon in the dragon pool, and add some exciting action elements as a seasoning. The film was a great success, with a global cost of $450 million at a cost of $80 million, ranking third in the nation’s box office rankings.    

Although the flag is over, the next days in this series are getting harder. In 2000, "Mission Impossible 2" was overwhelmed by the influence of its director John Woo. At the same time, the competitors have quietly increased. Not only did it come out of the series, "Bour Shadows", which is also the main series of American lone agents, even the new one, 007, abandoned the original flamboyant style, and became more real and cruel.

In response to these two agents, the "Mission Impossible 3" released in 2006 brought this series to a new direction. In summary, it has two characteristics: the other series promotes the hero of the courage, "Mission Impossible" Rely on a team; other series want to use the action scene to attract attention, "Mission Impossible" will always be better.     Therefore, Ethan Hunter, who used to fight alone for most of the time, began to have a violent comrade-in-arms from "Mission Impossible 3", and those action scenes that once could only be regarded as embellishments gradually became the core of this series.     

From "Mission Impossible 3", there is a green screen assisted by the shot from the high-rise building in Shanghai, to the "Mission Impossible 4" to give up the late assistance, wearing two gloves to climb the world's tallest building, and "disc In Mission 5, he climbed freely on the outside of a plane. The audience went into the theater again and again to witness the amazing move of Tom Cruise, and the film continued to overweight and put him in a more dangerous situation.

In "Fallout," Tom Cruise, in addition to the Parisian retrograde smashing motorcycle that has become accustomed to, jumps from the roof of the office building directly to the opposite building, including hanging under a helicopter in flight. Then climb up and drive the helicopter, which is a series of thrilling new shots. Tom Cruise even became the first actor to complete the HALO (air jump parachute) parachute on the screen, and the scene actually achieved the expected effect, shocking to make me feel breathless .     

But even if these scenes are once again eye-opening, they are still an upgrade to the first few parts of the series. After all, this series has taken the sixth part, it is difficult to have a truly innovative action design.    This integration and reuse of past elements does not exist only in the aspect of action. Regardless of the narrative or the theme, it is based on the previous sections. The return of the heroine and the villain in "Mission Impossible 5" is the first time that the series has established a story line that spans multiple films. The "Agents repeatedly betrayed by the government" mentioned in the film are also in the first few series of the series. Hunter’s experience is summarised.

As an action movie, "Comprehensive Disintegration" is almost impeccable at all levels. The use of wide-angle lens reveals the scenery of many scenes appearing in the film, and the editing always insists on "letting the audience see clearly." What happened? The basic principle that this action film should be maintained; the script is ups and downs, so that the audience who knows that Ethan’s group will eventually win will also be sweating in the process, Tom Cruise and a card The performances are also very good...     It can be seen that all the staff involved in the film have done their best to have this wonderful film we have seen.    However, Cruise is 56 years old. This groundbreaking series has also gone through 22 years. When the narrative and movements have reached the end of the mountain, where can the "Mission Impossible" go next?     The film's standard is unquestionable, but the future of this series may only be watched carefully.
