I do like the Mission Impossible films - don't like Tom Cruise mind you, but he does understand the franchise, and oh that music!
Mission Impossible at the IMAX is almost orgasmic. If I could afford to and they made each film for IMAX, I would watch every single movie there. Gone are the days of needing those 3D type glasses. It is such an immersive experience, I felt myself being drawn into each scene. I could almost smell the places in the film - Budapest, Moscow, Dubai - simply marvellous. I am gushing.
Oh how I want to see Inception at the IMAX.
Anyhoo back to the story. I don't really remember what the story was about - something to do with the Kremlin and a bomb for some extraneous reason.
The interaction between Cruise, Simon Pegg (my boys were laughing hysterically at his scenes), Jeremy Renner (excellent) and Paula Patton (the scenes with Anil Kapoor are hysterical) made for a nice ensemble cast.
You have to suspend disbelief, but that does have a limit - the sandstorm hits (you could see it coming miles off) and there were still people on the streets, and cars driving around like normal (I don't think so). Cruise is a bit of an adrenalin junkie.
For the scene outside the hotel in Dubai, you have to not be afraid of heights or have vertigo because it is a very jarring or breathtaking experience depending on your viewpoint.
What this movie has is a great sense of fun and adventure. It doesn't take itself seriously, and just invites us along for the ride.
Great movie entertainment.
