100%. Definitely Nolan's biggest weakness as a filmmaker, so it's great if this is the exception to the rule. Tar from last year had a wide release and was 91 metacritic score.

Yeah, I wish I had seen it in IMAX (or even in the cinema) back in the day. I'd only watched MI4 once before, on a laptop, and iirc, I didn't think much of it. At least last night I watched it on my big TV and had a good experience. Also, I can't believe there was ever plans to have Renner take over. He is so unlikeable in this film lol. Will watch Rogue Nation tonight, although I already saw it 3 times in the cinema so will be intrigued to see if my opinion of it changes at all.

I watched Ghost Protocol last night and WOW! i do NOT remember the Burj Kalifa scene being that breathtaking. I literally gasped and shrieked. The gadgets are super cool, I especially found the projector scene in the Kremlin good fun, and exactly the right tone of this franchise - fun, but still tense enough to have you slightly on edge. The third act is definitely a let down though and the villain was very bland and non-threatening. Now, my ranking is 4 > 2 > 3 > 1

Why do you say that? Oppenheimer was literally filmed with IMAX cameras... the IMAX is part of the appeal and a big part of the marketing of Oppenheimer. It's not for Mission Impossible.

So far this week I've watched M:I 1, 2 and last night 3. 3 was better than I remembered, at least while watching it, but come today, and I've already forgotten I even watched it. Meanwhile I've been blasting the M:I-2 soundtrack all day at work today... So far, it's 2 > 3 > 1. About to watch Ghost Protocol.... now they start getting good. Lets see if it holds up. And Thandie Newton > Emmanuelle Beart > Michelle Monawho?

Jennifer Lawrence has literally pretty much exclusively done "quality" films with good directors.

It never occurred to me that anyone other than Pedro was on screen. And I still thought this season sucked. The main issue for me is that nothing of value really happened or was explored. I didn't feel at the end of the show that I had been on any kind of journey in terms of the characters or the world or the plot. Season 1 and Book of Boba, I was soaking in new characters and places and learning new things about the universe. Season 2 I was invested in the plot. Neither of these things was the case for season 3.

Why do you expect Barbie to be poorly received by audiences?

I just watched MI2. Wow that was pure art.... 😆A lot more enjoyable than the first one, which I watched on Friday. Will watch 3 tomorrow. Thandie Newton and Hayley Atwell are both pure goddesses in their respective Mission Impossible movies.

lol. when you search on google for this movie, the screen goes like this.

is it confirmed to get wide release? or will it be like netflix's limited releases?

isn't it a streaming Apple TV movie?

Infinity War? Hello?

John Wick isn't trash, they are fun, but M:I films are definitely better action films. Mission Impossible is literally the definitive and best action franchise in the world for the past decade.

I started my Mission Impossible series rewatch last night, definitely confirms to me that the first one is the worst one (wasn't sure as I'd only watched it once, a long time ago). Couple of good moments but just a bit bland with little tension, which it needs as it was more serious. Worst thing about it by far though is Jon Voight who is just phoning it in and looks like he doesn't want to be there.

This! I dislike watching films at home as there are too many distractions, it's too easy for me to just look at my phone, then pause the movie, and two hours later I forgot I even started to watch the film. Best thing about the cinema is having no outside distractions, phone being turned off etc.

no, there are no imax scenes.

1. The fact you use "in the name of Christian values" as a moral defense of this Qanon shite just furthers the argument of people opposing you who will say this is right wing religious propaganda. If Angel Studios was actually interested in promoting a real life issue, they would be rejecting the Qanon promotion and banning the promoters of this film from talking about Qanon conspiracies. Because these conspiracies do not help, they actively make things worse when they give people false information. 2. The quality of the film is irrelevant. And how does it "raise awareness" of a real issue? The term "raising awareness" shouldn't mean "letting you know something exists", it should mean educating people with real factual information and solutions. 3. What action will you be taking to fight human trafficking, then? How is donating money to a movie studio "taking action" LOL? What charitable donations are you making, what charities are they going to, and how will those charities use the money to "take action"? Can you please provide a serious answer rather than vague phrases like "taking action" and "fighting". The only thing this appears to promote is Ballard's organisation that has lied and invented everything it claims to do. The only help they appear to demonstrably provide is helping themselves to the pockets of outraged moral-panic-induced "Concerned Christians".

OH IT'S SO GOOD!!!! About 20 mins in I just let out the widest toothy grin, I was just enjoying it so much, and that continued right till the end. The final act is properly nail biting. I needed to pee so bad like 40 mins before the end and I couldn't move from my seat, I was so gripped. After the disappointment of Indiana Jones last week this is such a direct and superior comparison. James Mangold, Disney, Lucasfilm, that's how you do a real car chase, and THAT IS HOW YOU DO A TRAIN SEQUENCE!!!!!!! This franchise is so entertaining and so satisfying to give us sky high expectations and continue to exceed them. I LOVED it. Very very minor gripes: the villain pushes the edge of ridiculous on occasion; and the stunts here don't quite reach Fallout level of jaw dropping.

I watched Reacher a couple of weeks ago and it was actually gripping and fun. Unlike the Cruise Snoozefest and its even more boring sequel. And the actor was way better as the character than Cruise (I say this as a big Cruise fan and someone who never read the reacher books)

Any "epic" that's straight to streaming is dead to me. IMO.

at this point I can't tell if all these people talking about oscars are memeing or not.

you know its possible for an actor to be in multiple different films right? For example in 1999 Tom Cruise filmed Magnolia and then 2 months later filmed Mission Impossible 2.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, even if there aren't "IMAX benefits" i'd still rather see it on as big a screen as possible.

Anyone know if this is worth watching in an IMAX? Was shot with "IMAX approved cameras" but afaik it has no expanded image. It releases tomorrow here so trying to work out what format to get a ticket for tomorrow evening.
