#MisisonImpossible #EndingExplained #DeadReckoning
As the name would imply, this seventh installment is the beginning of the end for Etahn Hunt and his crew. As the first in a two-part finale, the ending leaves some very intentional loose ends.
Doug: Honestly, after 7 movies, I'm starting to think these missions are actually very much possible. [clip “that's impossible! Search your feelings you know it to be true”]
Now while the final scenes paint a pretty clear picture of what's next for Ethan and his friends, the story itself has broader implications. Not only for the mission-impossible franchise but for the entertainment industry as a whole.
So the film revolves around an invisible villain known as the entity. Its Sentient rogue AI with the capability of integrating itself within anything digitally operated - including top-secret military intelligence and weaponry.
Doug: Soooooooooo Ultron?
Yea pretty much - or Skynet or, honestly a million other AI-based villains. It's a trope we've seen before - that somehow feels more relevant in this film than ever before. More on that later.
It’s so much fun to watch just a regular action movie again with relatable gear and vehicles.
Doug: Oh, you like that kind of stuff?
Dude, I love war games, war tactics, vintage vehicles. [It’s how I got into….]
The Entity’s “ brain” is at the bottom of the ocean aboard a submarine that the entity itself - sank - to protect itself from being destroyed by humans.
Doug: Well, that’s not incredibly confusing
Basically, it hacked the submarine's torpedo guidance system and made it blow itself up so that its brain could stay safe at the bottom of the ocean.
Doug: but wouldn’t it be destroyed by like -the water - or just the sheer pressure at the bottom of the ocean?
Listen buddy, it’s best not to think too hard on these things OK?
Regardless, the only way to shut it off is with a particularly festive cruciform key.
Doug: They kill it with a crucifix? So the entity is a vampire?
No - a cruciform key. - it's basically two house keys smushed together. It looks sort of like a cross - except this one has fancy lights and is capable of shutting down a world-ending AI with nuclear capability.
The entire movie is spent obtaining each half of the key, which, as the film constantly reminds us, is only the first step.
The final narration essentially tells us that the next film is going to center around diving to the bottom of the ocean to shut down the entity from onboard the sunken submarine.
Doug: Are they going to film on a real submarine?
Probably, I mean, it is Tom Cruise.
Now while the ending itself is pretty self-explanatory, it still leaves lots of unanswered questions and lingering implications. While we may know where the franchise is going plot-wise, we certainly don’t know how the story as a whole is going to end.
Honestly, with as long as Tom Cruise has been doing these movies, it seems like he’ll be doing them forever. But on the other hand, he is pushing 60. And at some point in time, you’ve got to throw in the towel.
