Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 | July 12 2023 | 99% on Rotten Tomatoes! | 290M budget so far, Cruise holding Paramount hostage for more money

I wonder if there is a bigger villain who's a name actor that's not going to be revealed until the very end of DR Part 1, if you have say Tom Hanks or Brad Pitt looking at a defeated Ethan, the audience would go nuts.

I doubt it. Where did you came up with this idea?

It can't be ruled out as a possibility though. 

[Firepower]

Looks great as expected.

I’m sure it will be great, but the marketing hasn’t done much in the way of enticing audiences with a story/plot. It’s really relied 100% on “look at all these cool stunts!” which, maybe that’s enough for huge numbers, but I really think the marketing needs to push some kind of narrative-based reason for audiences to see this.

[JWR]

Looks like another Mission Impossible movie. So, it'll probably be great.

[CaptNathanBrittles]

Looks way too digital. Misses the reality that elevated the previous entries above the other action series out there.

[Cmasterclay]

Best modern franchise but that was a wildly disappointing trailer relative to Fallout or even the teaser for this. Why does everything look CGI?? Where's the big hook stunt? What's the plot? Gotta step it up if this is going to breakout tbh.

The marketing for this film is why I've been hesitant to say it'll be the biggest film of the summer. They released the first trailer a year ago to attach it to Top Gun. Now this trailer doesn't stand out or really have a hook. Feels like they're resting on their laurels and the Top Gun hype. 

 

Hopefully they step it up the last couple months. 

 

Edit: I think the "Part One" in the title will also hold it back some.

Pretty much obvious it will easily hit $800M.

Looks more eccentric and CGI heavy than the previous ones. It may end up being the 2nd highest film of the year.

I partially agree, although it is a very mild criticism. Certainly  not everything looks like CGI, but there are some elements with that couldn't be avoided (a lot of the train crash for instance based on the circumstances). Venture a guess it will look a lot better on the big screen with a good projector. Also, they haven't given away plot details in these trailers for awhile.

 

Very good trailer IMO.

I wonder what the runtime is. I hope they trimmed it considerably. This guy didn't really like the first cut in test screening https://letterboxd.com/pazaz_rp/film/mission-impossible-dead-reckoning-part-one/2/

hope Covid filming hasn’t hurt this movie and made them require more on CGI

Covid delays really bloated the budget. It kept stopping and starting again. With the budget so huge, they are going to just try to make back their money at this point.

 

Hopefully now that no one cares about covid anymore, the budget for the next and final MI film will be more manageable.

[The Dark Alfred]

I don't think CGI would be an issue. Look at MCU or Fast franchise, the whole film is literally a CGI fest. This franchise has a lot of realism to offer, the train sequence look great.

 

I think it's good that we don't see much of the plot,  hate trailers where they show the entire movie. Also, probably still some stuff to figure out with editing of which scenes might end up in PART 2.

 

FALLOUT had no plot and a script that was less than 30 pages. Worked out just fine.

[ThomasNicole]

The funny part about the complains is that the digital aspect is coming from Lightning and color grading, not bad VFX 

 

And yes it will look good on the big screen, the type of visual aspect they choose normally don’t translate well to YouTube and Twitter compression 

[Mr Roark]

The complain regarding the CGI is correct. I understand that every chapter they must go bigger but the abuse of CGI is a problem for a movie with a marketing driven solely by “doing stuff for real”.

[Maggie]

I hope they don't kill off Ilsa. Rebecca is such a breath of fresh air
