Trusted the man one last time and he delivered, albeit a little messy delivery. As great and menacing of a threat the Entity is, the constant exposition about it and what it can do muddles the pacing of the movie a bit. But man were the stunts absolutely insane, with two scenes standing out as some of my favorite set pieces in the entire series. The novelty of Tom Cruise trying to kill himself for the sake of the movies will never wear off for me. 

The selfish, greedy side of me wants to see Cruise and McQuarrie make more M:I movies (preferably no more two-parters) but this was a great sendoff and a must-watch on IMAX.

Genuinely think my only gripe with this movie is the downgrade in visuals compared to the last two movies, but this is still a fantastic movie and with probably my favorite antagonist in an MI film.

Also I can’t take any scene between Tom Cruise and Shea Whigham seriously because of that one TikTok edit online.

We are going to start a dialogue about this being a contender for one of the greatest action movies of all time.

Rewatching the series greatly increased my appreciation for this movie because holy shit this was incredible. Gotta love the direction this series went with because there’s not a single character in this that I didn’t care about. The IMF doesn’t feel like a rotating door of coworkers anymore they’re real ass friends. Great stunts, funny dialogue, stunning visuals. Man is Rebecca Ferguson beautiful.

It’s criminal how few 70mm IMAX theaters are out there because it’s definitely the way to watch this. Insanely beautiful and stunning on 2nd viewing. There’s just nothing like it.

Solid movie! Glad to be in this era of MI films where the set pieces are crazy and the characters are actually memorable (except the villain he stunk). I kinda want Tom Cruise’s hair from this movie bad.

Genuinely good movie and fun time with friends. I know that aspect ratio changing was 100% intentional to mess with audiences in one scene.

Philip Seymour Hoffman the standout here because if it weren’t for him this would probably be the most meh MI movie in the series

Weeknd’s performance was so bad the whole theater started laughing. Someone please save Jenna from these movies

The ion and love put into the making of this movie is felt in every minute. No matter what state Star Wars is in now I’d be lying if I said it never meant anything special to me

It’s a miracle what Andor did as a show for making this movie go from mid to fairly decent. Cassian Andor I love you.

Well, this is not Mission: Difficult, Mr. Hunt. It’s Mission: Impossible.

Not great but that third act was amazing to see for the first time.

Movie taught me what to do in the kitchen and what to do in bed

De Palma directed the hell out of this wow

I forget Star Wars and this movie especially is still some of the coolest shit human beings have ever made. How can I not love Yoda?

Honestly didn’t expect to see myself tearing up and relating deeply to a non-Guardians MCU movie but here I am

Sometimes I wasn’t paying attention to the dialogue of the movie I was just in awe of Keira Knightley

I’m glad that, unlike the Phantom Menace re-release and viewing in theaters, this movie still holds up remarkably well. Any negative I have with some of the performances, effects, and overall oddities of this movie is made up by the fact that it’s just genuinely fun and makes me feel real emotion

Impossible to not love this in any sort of way. Really felt beauty of the art we make, share, and how it connects us for centuries. And my god, Ludwig Göransson’s score for this movie is just perfect.

I think the movie has an interesting concept and it was certainly an experience watching it, but like Civil War I’m left leaving feeling utterly empty from what I watched. Can applaud the effort to make it what it is, but there wasn’t any effort to make it more than what it was.

Sometimes I wonder if I’d enjoy and connect with these kinds of movies more if I’d have fallen in love before. Regardless, I loved this.

Yeah man they definitely had to kiss and be shirtless in the end to save the world.

Big fan of whatever was going on between Jason Mamoa and Jack Black

Somehow even more beautiful and breathtaking in IMAX. What a pleasure it was listening to the credits with those loud speakers. So good.

There was a scene halfway through the movie that just made me audibly go "damn dude this shit's good."

Pretty generic story overall but I love the dad too much

Very, very obsessed with how this movie looks. Everyone here is yearning for something and I can relate to that very much. Now I’m wondering if I should watch Chungking Express very soon or wait for that 4K Criterion to come out in April.

Nice start to my attempt at a Wong Kar-wai first viewing binge. Yes the movie can feel a bit messy at times but really enjoyed what I saw (and heard, that soundtrack is so good). Was a bit caught off guard with the cousin romance but I guess it worked? Anyways, for a debut film I’m really liking what I’m seeing from Wong’s style. Can’t wait for the rest.

I’m simply left speechless.

A movie that was 100% totally my jam that, while I can understand why some may not like it that much, was practically impossible for me to not fw heavily. 

I’d argue first 5 minutes would be like the perfect opening to a survival horror game and I can’t help but feel heavy Dead Space vibes from this.

Surprisingly romantic. Just an overall solid and tightly paced movie. Glad to have seen it.

Far from a perfect movie, but I can’t help but love the soul and enthusiasm put into this movie. I also can’t believe I’m saying this but I wish Godzilla didn’t hog most of the kaiju screen time because my goat Biollante did not get enough screen time. Seriously one of my favorite monsters of all time. Her design, her roar, and role in the story is simply unmatched by most movie monsters. Super glad this got a Criterion release because god knows how messy the modern home releases of these movies are and even having one of them be faithfully restored to 4K is simply a godsend.

It’s good unironically and I’m glad this is one of the two fixations I’ve kept from childhood.

Very beautiful documentary about mankind’s will to explore and adoration for the planet we live in… and how even on the moon guys would still fuck around looking for big rocks and acting silly.

Enjoyed it more on second watch! I think rewatching it made me more appreciative and understanding of the themes the movie had going on. That and actually seeing it in IMAX is also a bonus.

Really hard movie to watch as you wanna punch Jesse Eisenberg in the face but you just can't

Had my jaw wide open like 50% of the movie

Watched on Friday February 28, 2025.

sadly did not vibe with this. Deaths were fun but then nothing in between them were interesting or engaging.

Peter really stopped watching the movie right near the end

Really sad watching this knowing how the MCU is like today. Also the moves Cap pulls on his enemies is insane knowing he’s got that super soldier enhancement he could kill anyone with that flying knee move of his

Why did I make myself see this on Valentine’s Day

Although Paul King and Sally Hawkins are sorely missed I’m really glad the charm of the previous movies is still here. Love that little bear so much

Very happy I got to see this early! Incredibly fun movie that just lets Robert Pattinson go all out with his performances. I’m pretty convinced there may be two Robert Pattinsons running around in the world because of how natural it was seeing him play two characters in the same scene. Also very funny, though having just seen Parasite recently it wasn’t much of a surprise to me since Bong Joon-Ho seems to be great at writing comedy. Pattinson’s performance and the solid writing is enough to make me brush aside a few of the problems I had with the movie like Ruffalo’s performance and a few odd scenes here or there. Though I’m excited to watch this again in IMAX when I get the chance.

I think they could really work that house into a Resident Evil house

Incredible work by Danny Boyle for this movie to feel like you’ve taken heroine because the highs are really fun and exciting and then the lows have you feeling absolutely miserable and terrible. That scene with the baby in particular is just haunting

Need to start off by saying Fernanda Torres’ performance was absolutely incredible. The movie would never have worked if it wasn’t for the insane amount of talent she brought to the movie. A character whose torture and anguish is hidden deep inside and behind this act of control and almost stoicism for the sake of her family is portrayed amazingly by her. Totally hoping she wins the Oscar for best actress. The movie does a great job in making you care for the family from the very start. It makes the tragedy of the situation hit so much harder and throughout the rest of the movie you feel this everlasting gut wrenching feeling in your body. Very grateful I got to see this in theaters.
