 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So this will be the spoiler if you review for mission impossible dead reckoning part one It is directed by Christopher McQuarrie who also co-op the screenplay with Eric genderson It is starring Tom Cruise Haley Atwell ving rames Simon Pegg Rebecca Ferguson Vanessa Kirby Harry Konzerney and some other newcomers and some familiar faces This film is the Seventh in travel. Yes seventh entries. We have an eighth that'll be part two in this long ongoing Mission impossible series that continues to get better with each new entry Ethan Hunt and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet to track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens humanity before it falls into the wrong Hand with control of the future in the fate of the world at stake and dark forces from Ethan's past closing in a deadly race around the Global begins confronted by a mysterious all-powerful entity even is forced to consider that nothing can matter more Than his mission not even the lies of those he cares about most Now I will say mission impossible dead reckoning part one is absolutely amazing I'm not saying it's better than fallout But it is quite possibly my new favorite entry for clarity for people who watch me for anyone who sees my tweets You know that I have no problem admitting something is my favorite entry while still picking at it But also when I say something is my favorite entry that is not me saying is better than a previous entry dead Reckoning has a few hiccups here and there that I'm certain Make it a decline compared to fallout and I'm certain I'll pick up on a lot more during my revisits of it One in particular that I already know is is related to the villain in this film Despite that the experience is so entertaining and captivating for me compared to the others that that's what's making it my new Current favorite along with the timely story at the center of it all As promised we do dive into Ethan Hunt's life prior to the IMF But the story is a little flimsy in that regard and yet still worth investing in based on the little crumbs We get that I'm assuming must be explored even further in part two the relationship between the hunt and our new antagonist Gabriel is just getting started and the timely AI story is equally terrifying and compelling Due to the current climate that we're living in living in There's an added layer of suspense thanks to this AI of focus of the story and the dangers that AI presents This AI also is basically our main villain I want to say that is referred to as the entity exposition dumping felt rather unnecessary here at times in regards to AI Well, I suppose the better word I could go for is excessive in a world where AI is all around us I didn't need a tutorial from Luther on what this is what it wants how it operates, etc However, while again, I can say it's excessive It also did aid in keeping the film tense and intriguing since Hunt and his team are working to stop a threat like no other It's building up the terrifying nature and the risk and danger that AI actually presents There's a lot of meta commentary about Cruz's lack of aging vampire jokes Even hunts pattern with women in the franchise and other jokes that feel earned at this point considering this is again One of the only franchises that continues to get better as it progresses Haley Atwell's character of Grace I would say fits right in as if she's always been here, but of course we know she hasn't been She's just woven into the fabric of the story in such an incredible way. She feels like she's always been here Grace is an interesting newcomer with a lot of baggage that she slowly Overcomes during the film and while mission impossible directly like many of the others is all about the action stunts and amazing set pieces It's ability to balance that with care to development is quite remarkable Christopher McQuarrie continues to deliver on the relentless action sequences that remain grounded mostly even if aspects at times are hard to believe And there are several for me in dead reckoning part one But it never reaches the caliber of what we've been seeing from fast and furious The choreography is always easy to follow the pacing is impeccable and the camera work keeps you on the edge of your seat Each sequence does indeed seem to be outdoing one another it seems like that's the goal that they're setting out for it at this point As a gag in these movies now his ability to keep you engaged for nearly three hours is fantastic Everything about the story is elevated because of who is at the helm again major props to McQuarrie He does an amazing job with these movies the stakes are felt the urgency is always present But I also want to give credit to the score because it's amplifying a lot of the moments here that can get rather intense Especially midway through the movie the train bit at the end is a bit ridiculous Even towards the end of its own existence, but that's still a highly entertaining sequence nonetheless might be again One of the best third acts in the franchise It just goes on for far too long and could have been trend so while the pacing isn't something I felt There are bits in the movie that I could say yeah, you should have cut that down a bit But everything sees the service purpose Maybe some stuff does overstay it's welcome But it's never to the point where I'd say the pacing is just horrendous or awful the runtime literally just flies by There's even a top-gun maverick like bit of influence I would say during the train sequence, but you'll know what know what I mean when you actually get to see the movie Every performance is great. And yes, Rebecca Ferguson was to stand out for me along with Atwell Isai Morales who makes Gabriel very intimidating and interesting despite us only learning the bare minimum about his relationship With hunt for now mission impossible dead reckoning part one I would say is a blockbuster event Probably the blockbuster event of the summer a blockbuster event that we knew Tom Cruise would deliver to us The blockbuster event of the summer seems to be more fitting for a movie like like this and of its magnitude and it demonstrates Why movies like this deserve to be experienced on the biggest screen possible?
