Amazatron Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 After watching that ridiculous Halo jump stunt segment, I was all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I've heard a few people on twitter saying it's the best action movie since Fury Road. That's a hell of an endorsement. Even if it's not quite that good, at least it seems we've avoided another Quantum of Solace / Spectre scenario. With this movie coming out, it's been nice to see so much praise for the Mission Impossible franchise. It' really is a bit of an oddity, but it's been consistently enjoyable and exciting. I'm happy that this one continues that streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cruise only has a couple bad movies on his resume and I imagine generally rejects the role for any script he feels is bad (I really don't know why he accepted the role for The Mummy tbh). Honestly I am disappointed he doesn't diversify a little more playing it safe is his downfall but it is hard to argue against his action hero resume.

Maybe his agent did a good job selling the cinematic universe they were trying to go for, as though he could be that franchise's Tony Stark, making big money for even just small cameos.

atom631 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I just got all 5 MI movies on digital 4K. I re-watched the first one after having not seen it since the movies. It was better than I remembers (i hated it when i first saw it)...but man does it look so old and outdated. Its weird bc its not really that old.

All of them are entertaining in their way, though all of them lack any real character depth or substance, they are fun action-espionage films. I look forward to a second go-around with writer-director Christopher McQuarrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikachu Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 I think MI has gotten better with each successive move imo, which is really rare for a long running franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom631 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Absolutely - Jurassic Park still looks great, esp the CGI. MI:1 just looks old and the sound is very 1 dimensional. Im not saying its a bad movie bc of it...it was just off-putting after not having seen it since it was in the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an odd franchise because it's an action series spawned from a TV show that completely threw away every possible relation to that show in the first 15 minutes of film. It's a series that has spanned six movies over more than 20 years and has been propelled almost exclusively by its star in an age when movie stardom matters less than ever. It's a series that started with a film by veteran Brian De Palma, had an entry by John Woo, was the vehicle for JJ Abram's first feature and Brad Bird's first live action film. It's a series where the box office success has been all over the place, from being De Plalma's and Woo's biggest successes, to being JJ's least impressive earner. It's a series that grew up during the rise of CG effects but has always put a premium on and really set the bar for physical stunt work. The MI franchise is an anomaly of modern movie making. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M:I plays like a great 1970's John Le Carre-lite spy thriller. On bluray I thought the film looked and sounded fine. Both show their age similarly I feel.

Oh well yeah but not the entire movie, and even then it really isn't bad. Not any more dated than Jurassic Park, is what I'm saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I dunno if I’ve watched more than 5 min of the original Jurassic Park since the theater? That sounds impossible (homina homina homina) but I cannot recall seeing all of it again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so different as to be barely comparable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
