I like that The Entity makes mistakes and corrects itself. Like at the beginning when it placed the phantom sub too far away and one of the Russian soldiers say that the sub is too far away for the signal to be so strong, it could even be the Entity making an error using the dead reckoning to calculate where the phantom sub should be placed. The Entity then changes the position of the phantom sub be closer.

Person of Interest TV series was truly ahead of its time, started as Sci-Fi series turned realistic, several movies and series are adopting this kind of plot.

[@louisnemzer6801]

There was a good example of 'predestination.' Paris betrays Gabriel because Gabriel thought she would, to repay Ethan for saving her life (presumably because the Entity calculated it). She even notes the irony.

[@m_ghathami4543]

OK I feel like you missed some thing with the whole “riddle bomb”… so I thought they used those answers that Benji gave so they can later use it to trick Ethan while he was going down alleyways🙂👍

[@SK4Madhi_Freal]

Yep!! That's exactly what happened.

[@phillipgrande9147]

I thought the entity just uses Benji's voice on every comm they had especially on MI 3 where he basically confuses Ethan whether it's left or right

[@LadyParris]

I cannot explain how much I love this movie. I just cannot.

[@OMGLX]

Crazy theory that is probably just me reading into things too much and attributing current events into a movie that was written years ago... but I wonder if there wasn't another meta-narrative beneath the surface of it all. Like... what if 'the Entity' is a sly dig at the idea of AI writing scripts for movies, and it kind of relying on existing data and people's expectation in order to generate a derivative, but familiar, entry in a series. FOR EXAMPLE. The return of Kittridge. The playful sleight of hand with the all-important mcguffin. Ethan Hunt's predictable, almost compulsive, attachment to female companions, especially beautiful brunettes (the nameless woman in the flashback, Thandiwe Newton, Paula Patton, Michelle Monaghan, Rebecca Ferguson (not always a brunette but you feel me), and now Hayley Atwell). Fighting atop a locomotive that goes into a tunnel. Or A FRENCH CHARACTER THAT INEVITABLY BETRAYS SOMEONE (Pom, but also Jean Reno!)... it almost feels like the Entity has seen the other six movies and THAT is how knows what to expect and how everyone will behave. Again, likely off base, but the thought crossed my mind. :p

I don't think Ilsa died... It seemed pretty staged. I think this was done to outsmart The Entity and make Grace comply with them or else she would have kept running.

[@Lishimian]

Benji was in the room afterwards walking back from a ANALOG radio equipment, it'd be too obscene for them to not have used it at all, and you can't help but notice the IMF was fully committed to turning Grace that ILsa's “death” may need to be on Grace's conscience

[@generalilbis]

Definitely a lot of callbacks to the previous 6 MI films, but the finale with the train - the modern Orient Express itself - feels like a re-imagining of the Orient Express section of From Russia With Love...a Bond film with an all-poweful technical Macguffin (for the time), a female lead with questionable loyalties and a section aboard the Orient Express where a carefully orchestrated plan goes to ruin due a fanatical henchman. And I'm sure if it'd been possible at the time, the fight between Red Grant and Bond in the train compartment would have been on the roof or something 😅

The keys are just to open that vault inside the sub. They have nothing to do with the actual AI. The entity choose that place to hide because it's real hard to get to.

I think what everyone got wrong is; its not the Russians who created entity. Its the director who was killed by Gabriel. They used entity to test with that submarine’s tech to fly under everyone’s radar. But doing so entity’s original source code is now is-in that vaults storage unit which can only be unlocked by that key. I think this is the part everyone got wrong. Its not the Russians who created entity and entity’s original source code is in that vault by mistake as its the first place it attacked (which was done by that director who got killed by Gabriel).
