Everything Wrong With Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning (Part 1?)

The first Mission Impossible came out in 1996. The fact that 27 years later, Tom Cruise is still making these movies at the age of 61 while doing his own stunts is insane.

2 sins you missed 1) Why couldn’t Ethan board the train the same way Paris did? By jumping onto it from the bridge it passed under. 2) When Grace put on the Ilana mask, her eye color stayed the same. So, how is it that Zola could look right at Ilana, his own sister, and not realize her bright blue eyes had suddenly become dark brown.

[@treycorte2203]

That stunt is not big enough

[@chrisp7326]

The biggest sin is the fact it's a steam train that's made to accelerate to it's top speed and yet manages to run a long time without ANY coal added to the fire! It would have lost steam, slowed down and stopped.

The more I think about this movie, the more and more I forget about it from a plot perspective. I just don't think the story here for this movie is as good as the previous 3 films, and on top of that I personally find the action in the previous three to be better too.

Not to mention you build a character like Ilsa faust and kinda begin to like her more and more, then they just use a cheap move to kill her off.

I’m cross dominant - left-handed, right-eyed - and I shoot rifles from the right side with both eyes open. Every cross dominates shooter I know shoots shoulder-fired arms from the dominant-eye side. I can’t say that nobody uses an eye patch, but I can say that in all the rifle and shotgun events I’ve participated in or observed, and those were plenty, I’ve never seen it. Also, covering one eye doesn’t help with depth perception, which comes largely from stereoscopic vision. It diminishes depth perception.

Watched the movie again recently on DVD - still like the franchise but this would definitely be my least favourite of the Missions after #3. They could have cut the whole beginning scene with the sub as its function gets explained again later anyway and the scene with Mark Gatiss and all the suits was way too long. The thing with Benji being reluctant to answer the AI “because then it will know more about you” was pretty stupid as who wouldn’t say “my friends” (or family) when asked what matters most to you and who isn’t going to say “yes” when asked if they were afraid of death, it wasn’t like he was giving up top secret info it could use against the team later? Ilsa may well “not really be dead” and show up again in Part 2 as its not like they haven’t used that tactic before (with Ethan’s wife for one, plus with the other assassin lady in this film who appears to be fake-killed-off at least twice).

A prime example of a movie's plot only "working" because the characters make the worst possible decisions they could with the information they have available. Easiest way to demonstrate this is to say that digital/analog & analog/digital converters are a thing, and this AI has demonstrated use of them in the film itself already by faking voices. If it goes over a radio wave it can be intercepted. So how does Luther expect this "analog only" device to work? I like Hayley & Rebecca, and Vanessa, & Pom just fine, but seriously one of each pair could have been cut and not affected the plot at all, so it really seemed like they were doubled up just to give Cruise more ladies to flirt with. Even the action scenes underwhelmed me. Sure, it's in camera, but I had seen them all before, so they felt stale.

[@jfrazz9729]

This movie was so incredibly boring. (Psst, it’s Westley, but I adore the progressive PB references) Defenestration is such a good word Thanks for the passion and lulz. Truly appreciated!

[@alm2187]

22:10 this is probably the second train ever in an M:I movie and definitely just the second action sequence on one!

[@Blablabla20093]

18:37 The machine for making masks, of course, shorted out at the most important moment, so that life would not seem like honey.

[@mackielunkey2205]

I would have loved it if they hinted at the mask machine being close to malfunctioning previously, but the movie has a pretty fun tone, so I’ll let it slide.

[@ytuser_3122]

What do Harry Potter and Mission: Impossible have in common? Having a 7th film that serves as a 2 parter finale

[@chrisp7326]

Ethan smashing into the right train car at the right time is the most plot convenient thing that happened in this franchise and that's saying something

[@MrHrannsi]

And that without a scratch is bloody amazing

[@davidcovington901]

"resisting arrest in Rio" is his favorite because of the alliteration. Please un-sin by one.

[@ItsFireTiger]

That's not alliteration 👀 This is though: Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers

[@bronsontaylor7333]

I feel like I'm the only one who watched that movie and can tell that Tom Cruise didn't jump/parachute. It was a stunt double. Or multiple. Every time in the movie that you see his face and body, it's from far away. Every time you see his entire face, you can't tell he's actually parachuting. Why wouldn't they have a drone/someone else jumping/filming him while jumping if it was really him. Even the "behind the scenes" video of him "jumping" is an ad.

[@dersunset_]

I love that no matter what we all thought of this movie, we all shared the same reaction to Ilsa's death😭

[@summertyme5748]

Nah. Don't care about any of the fake characters in this film.

[@redmondo42]

Considering how great Fallout was, I found this movie very disappointing. - By splitting it into two instalments, they inevitably reduced the suspense and the dramatic tension. The stakes felt far lower than if it was a self-contained film, because you know there's a 'Part Two' coming later. That just made large parts of the movie tedious. - So many of the set pieces were derivative of scenes from better Mission Impossible films. Most of them were just plain boring (the desert, the airport, the car chase, the fight in the alleyway, the fight on the bridge.....YAWN). The train crash was exciting though, I'll give it that. - After six movies they've decided to contrive an extra 'backstory' for Ethan Hunt that supposedly explains his origins as an agent, gives him more emotional baggage (clearly the tragic loss of a woman he loved) and ALSO somehow links him to the secondary villain. Couldn't they just have brought Michelle Monaghan back? Talk about overkill. - Making a villain out of AI was a big mistake. It seems this "Entity" can be or do anything depending on the needs of the story; the ultimate Plot Armour. Lazy writing. - Esai Morales was completely miscast. - Killing off Ilsa ... WTF were they thinking? Rebecca Ferguson has been one of the best things about the later franchise.

[@alm2187]

21:58 got me thinking about the Deep Thought computer from Hitchhiker's Guide. Spoke of computers that could predict the path of every particle in a sandstorm. How complex would it be to predict Ethan's entrance here?

[@Jeff-cn9up]

Many, many orders of magnitude more complex. A sandstorm can be generalized, human neurons cannot.

[@davesouthword1298]

Well, I was waiting for it for it to happen, so I guess an Evil Super AI could also figure it out.

[@alm2187]

I'll trust to your point, ​@@Jeff-cn9up I may need a primer on the language you're using, though. Predicting the path of sand, particle by particle, would seem like specific processes. Can the word "generalized" still apply in this context?

[@alm2187]

Interesting angle, almost implying that "The Entity" knows it's in a movie, ​@@davesouthword1298 I hazard that M:I has never gone meta before, though. 😜

[@YungSkrtDinger420]

That “LETS GOOOO” was soo funny 😂

[@dalton6019]

Fun fact Rebecca Ferguson can’t wink one eye easily so they got her the patch to avoid her looking daft trying to close one eye!

[@Verboten-xn4rx]

That edit at the end genius. Warriors come out to play.

[@georgemulungu4667]

Been waiting for this😅

[@SirBaconThe3rd428]

I always wondered what would happen if they just did nothing and then the Entity and Gabriel have no fun

[@omalor]

If they did nothing, Gabriel would have obtained both keys and locked everyone out of the Entity forever, while it ran amok on the world.

[@kamain8379]

Loved the lower decks reference in the out takes.

[@ZombiZohm]

I guarantee lock picking lawyer could still pick the lock of that cruciform key

[@DH-xw6jp]

Hello this is the Lock Picking Lawyer and today we have th-... *[Lock pops open]* ... And that is all we have today, thank you.

[@nicholasvinen]

Then he will relock it and pick it again to prove it wasn't a fluke.

[@ipadxavier]

13:18 I noticed this while watching as well. People around me were wondering if something was funny but I noticed that the parked car had actually disappeared. HaHa.

[@Dominic-tq6dw]

How did the producers and the director not noticing it, while Editing? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@mantabond]

Oh, dear. Once again it is is utterly good fun to watch the commentator at work, doing a better job than the actual film. Merry Christ-mas.

[@michaelwesten4624]

in the cinema, one dude in front of me went to take a piss mid Tom' Cruise's big bike jump. he's literally risking his life for your entertainment, the least you can do is hold it in for 2 minutes

[@bentonmarcum8924]

21:58 this is the way the entity planed it

[@Ace-Lee]

Gratuitous use of the word defenestrated. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@rob19ny]

5:08 - 5:19 I'm sure they name dropped "Kittridge" the 2nd time because there's always those 2 people who arrive almost 20 minutes after the movie starts and their backs are facing the screen while they climb the stairs trying to find a seat. The 2nd time "Kittridge" is said is at 19 mins 32 secs into the movie. The 1st time is at 19 mins 1 sec. 21:25 LMFAO!!!!!!!

[@virgilhawkins5680]

While it is an unusual occurrence for me, I definitely happened to arrive late to this movie lol. It didn't make a difference though. I haven't seen the first film in like 20 years. I don't remember Kittridge or anything else.
