Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by Reviews F — 30 Jul 2018

Mission Impossible: Fallout is the first Mission Impossible movie that I've seen, making it my favorite. Despite that, It has flaws and I feel like I can be sure that it isn't the best film I have ever seen. I still loved this movie. This review is spoiler free.

11/15 points go to the STORY category. This film has a good story where a load of confusion can be stirred up at any moment. There are loads of plot twists that aren't shocking due to a terrible marketing campaign. There are also unclear plans made at certain moments. The basic premise is nothing like I've ever seen though.

10/10 points go to the ACTING category. Tom Cruise, who learned how to fly a helicopter for this movie, is stellar. He is a great actor who definitely does very well in this movie. Henry Cavill, Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, ect. also give amazing performances. They all seem very into character.

10/10 points go to the VISUAL EFFECTS category. The film is visually stunning. I enjoy watching the visuals throughout and my eyes weren't hurt.

10/10 points go to the CHARACTERS category. The characters are great. They have their purpose and they serve their purpose. If they need it, they get development. If they don't, they don't get it. It's simple as that. I think that the character who shines out most is Luther. Luther has an emotional moment and it really makes us see the character as more than a sidekick.

4/ 5 points go to the DEVELOPMENT category. The film sees a problem, some twists, some mishaps, and a solution. There is one problem though. There are many characters who don't grow at all and don't get the ability to be seen in a whole new light. The characters do get into a different place than we saw them at first though.

3/ 5 points go to the ORIGINAL SCORE category. The music is really good. Mission Impossible has some of the best music from what I've heard. The problem with this score is that there are parts that go with the movie only. You can't listen to them without the visuals of the film. This is a bit disappointing.

5/5 points go to the DESIGN category. The film has a great costume design which makes the characters come to life. There is also good makeup. The design has nothing super special, but what it has is amazing. I especially love the technology designs.

10/10 points go to the DIRECTION category. The film is directed well by whoever directed it. The fight scenes are well choreographed and everyone is well directed throughout. I think the direction in this movie is probably the most well directed of the year for live-action films.

8/10 points go to the AUDIO AND VISUAL QUALITY category. The film sounds pretty good. There are many points where the movie sounds like just explosions and gunshots. The 3D effects are pretty meh, though what is decent is the fact that it doesn't look too dark in 3D. I'd recommend that you see this film in IMAX, where there are scenes where there is extra image. The music is also well done, and plays at the right moments.

17/20 points go to the OVERALL CONSENSUS category. I thought this film was pretty good. It is at times slow, and the story is at times pretty horribly written. I think that the movie is pretty well made, choreographed, and directed. The thing about this film that stands out is the cinematography and fight scenes.

Score: 88%.

Grade: B+.
