J.J. Abrams loves making it so you can’t see anything and wants you to just imagine the movie in your head

It's no coincidence that these movies started getting better once Benji was introduced

I like how putting on a rubber mask of someone else’s face also seems to change your height and body shape

4th best Mission: Impossible movie, #1 best Tom Cruise running movie

Review by James (Schaffrillas) ★★★★

My favorite so far, with about a million asterisks on that statement.

Love the opening scene, love the villain, love the team camaraderie, the story was exciting, even the romance was sweet dammit! Michael Giacchino the king that you are!

The action set pieces were also great, you know, whenever they weren't blurry as shit with a bunch of shaky cam. The writing was pretty good, except when it wasn't! Luther asking Ethan if he's ever slept with his sister is the exact moment I ed what Kurtzman and Orci are capable of. Lindsey's message suddenly being viewable at the most plot-convenient time without any explanation as to why was clever foreshadowing for R2-D2 randomly waking up to provide the…

“You can look at me with those judgmental eyes all you want, but I bullshit you not, I will bleed on the American flag to make sure those stripes stay red.”

There's a beat at the end of this where Ethan is frantically explaining to his wife how to firmly load a clip into an automatic pistol. "Like the batteries in the flashlight in the kitchen." Abrams isn't a particularly adept visual filmmaker; this is shot largely in close-up and its setpieces coast more on length and sheer ingenuity, with shots strung together for clarity if not particularly composed or edited for any dynamic effect. But it's the tiny stuff here that's emotionally grounding instead of the film squeezing you with setup-release narrative structure (although it still does that sometimes too). In fact, one of the most exciting moments comes about from the realization that you've missed an entire potential action scene. I mean yeah it's a $120 million Alias pilot but I always thought the Alias pilot was a lot of fun.
