Tom Cruise is the only global superstar who commands huge fan following for his daredevil stunts and stylised elaborate action set pieces. His Mission: Impossible series from past three decades has been delivering such thrills, chills and frills without any compromise for mortality. Let's discuss about the "supposed final chapter" of the franchise Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning Movie, in detail.
Plot:
After the events of Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning, Gabriel (Esai Morales) is able to overpower Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and run away to implement next part of his mission. He kills Luther (Ving Rhames) and takes the poison pill. Now, Ethan has to improvise and put an end to Entity's dangerous nuclear warfare plan to eliminate the human kind. What would he do to achieve this impossible mission? Watch the movie to know more.
Analysis:
As a plot, Mission Impossible films never really offered something solid except for Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation. After heavy on stunts and style films like the second and third, they brought some teeth to the characters. But the Dead Reckoning and Final Reckoning are prolonged action set pieces with a wafer thin plot.
The all high power AI doesn't really have the stakes to enter US security system that is deemed to be the most powerful. If AI learns from Humans and improvises, it should start from eliminating the biggest threat and strategies to take over the nuke dump that US, sits on. Rather it just hopes for Ethan to accomplish improbable missions to help it.
This feels like a far fetched stretch where an AI doesn't have a back up plan that too combat ready one. We just find it as an elaborate excuse for Tom Cruise to find new stunts to perform. Here, everything is too elaborated and stretched that even the best stunts doesn't throw us on to the edge of our seats.
We end up feeling like some daredevil man performing stunts rather than being able to feel the gravitas. Also, Tom Cruise has again put his life on line and in balance but the direction, editing feels like narrative has been over stretched to show every minute detail in stunts which gives an experience but doesn't really make it worthwhile.
Characters of Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Return of Rolf Saxon everything on paper sounds great but execution drags the life out of it all. On the whole, Tom Cruise's mission to keep his life on line and make Mission Impossible films seems to have overpowered his sense of tight script. Rather than finding excuses to cheat death, he needs clever hacks to find better scripts for these ensemble of stunts to matter.
Bottomline:
Stunts galore but over stretched to bits.
Rating: 2.5/5
