Review of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) by Dharma2 — 12 Jul 2023

After a slew of gargantuan, but ultimately disappointing blockbusters, Tom Cruise is back to school them on how to do it right. Budgeted at almost $300 million dollars, it is one of the most expensive, and ambitious mission yet.

Unlike Fast X or Dial of Destiny, you literally can see every dollar that was spend on the film. The set pieces are bigger, and more dangerous than ever, knowing that Cruise himself literally is doing his own stunts.

At almost 3 hours, you would expect this film to be a slog, but no. It moves at a breakneck pace, and after 6 missions, Cruise and co has perfected this formula to such degree that it is almost an art form.

Enough said. See this in IMAX.
