Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) ✦ Full-Length Watchalong Reaction

Best Mission Impossible movie HANDS DOWN. From the cast, fight scenes/stunts, to the bonding/connections all of his team members have with each other, the closure Ethan gets with Julia, and that final helicopter chase scene was just *chefs kiss*. Despite all the amazing scenes in this movie, the one that got me the most was when Elsa and Benji were squaring off against Lane and Elsa chose to save Benji instead of finishing off Lane. That just sums up these characters and the franchise in such a little detail Having said all that, I REALLLLYYYY wish they ended the series here. This movie was the epitome of what made the franchise so great and I feel it was the perfect send off for Ethan and his team.

That is the greatest thumbnail of all time! Fallout's my favorite Mission and Henry Cavill made one hell of an antagonist. The helicopter stunts... geez Cruise has a lot of courage and a lot of trust in his team...and himself for that matter! Of course, excited for the next two and interested to hear what you think about them.

When Christopher McQuarrie first approached Sean Harris about being in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Harris signed on for two reasons: he liked a specific monologue his character had, and at Harris' request, McQuarrie promised to kill his character off in that movie so that he wouldn't be obligated to come back for sequels. In the end, McQuarrie had to apologize to Harris, as the monologue was cut out and of course Solomon Lane survived to return for M:I - Fallout. "Not sure how I feel about the mustache yet." I can tell you how Warner Bros. felt about the mustache. As you may know, the making of Justice League was a bit of a debacle, where the studio ultimately asked for changes to the first cut that Zack Snyder turned in, and then Snyder stepped away to deal with a family tragedy. As a result, Warner hired Joss Whedon to come in and finish the film, which involved extensive reshoots as Whedon changed the movie into something else based on what Warner was looking for. During this latter period, Cavill had already moved onto shooting Fallout, and when he was needed for some of these reshoots, Paramount told Warner they could have him back, but that he could not shave off his mustache. In the end, Warner spent $3m using CGI to remove the mustache from Justice League reshoots, resulting in a fairly infamous weird upper lip throughout a significant portion of the theatrical cut. ears later, Snyder would of course get to come back and reconstruct his original version, with some additional photography). When we are first introduced to Alana Mitsopolous, aka "The White Widow," she is eulogizing someone named Max, ostensibly her mother. The movies never get any more explicit than this, but all the evidence points to this eulogy being for the main contact "Max," played by Vanessa Redgrave, in the first Mission: Impossible film, who was also an arms dealer. I think I said this before you went on vacation, but I recommend watching some trailers or perhaps your own reaction (or someone else's) to the original Mission: Impossible before watching the last two as the final two-parter pays various homages to that movie. Many people seem to miss or not fully process the shot after the fight, where Ethan pulls the phone off the "Lark" in the bathroom and discovers it is broken, only for Walker to hand Erika Sloane an unbroken phone a few scenes later, meaning they miss that Walker is Lark for a few more scenes. Cruise famously injured himself on this one. There's one long shot following him as he jumps between buildings when chasing Walker, and when he pulls himself up onto the building you can see him limping. That's because he broke his leg, which was too far forward when he hit the building, but Cruise still committed and finished the shot. Much of the helicopter flying at the end of this one was also done by Cruise for real. As I write this (when I opened this page at the beginning of the film) there's only one comment before me, and they say they wished the series just ended here. I think the last two are good, but I do think they're rockier than these previous two, in large part because COVID massively extended the whole production process on both movies. They initially hoped that The Final Reckoning would be out in August 2022, and began filming on February 20th, 2020, only to be shut down four days later. In the end, filming on the first movie would not be completed until February 2021. Final Reckoning, of course, opened May 2025, almost three years after the original date. I'll be interested to see what you think!

For me, it's down to this and Rogue Nation as top tier Mission: Impossible. We lose Jeremy Renner, but gain Vanessa Kirby, and the sense of continuity, not to mention the spectacular action here (Henry Cavill's pump-loaded biceps included) is strong. Plus, Sean Harris plays such a great villain--and I love that Benji and Ilsa (still my favorite) get to take him out. Good shit.

Zachary Ketcham-Sorg

As others have stated for themselves, this is my favorite as well. Can’t wait to get home from work so I can watch.

I haven't seen Final Reckoning yet, but this is my favourite MI movie, just because of the stunts. Nerding out on some behind-the-scenes; Tom really did that HALO jump, though in reality it was above Abu Dhabi not above Paris. It also wasn't through a thunderstorm. The sequence was heavily digitally altered, cutting various takes into the final sequence shown, but yeah, they really jumped out of a C-17 military jet at 25,000 feet. And those helmets they wore were fully functional and actually provided the required oxygen, etc. The R&D for those helmets alone was more than a year of work. Tom really drove that motorcycle around Paris. There were cars digitally added to make it look more dangerous (the "close calls"), but it was plenty dangerous at the speeds he was cornering without a helmet on. Tom really climbed around that helicopter payload, though he did have a safety harness on. He also really flew that helicopter through that canyon, and made that pretty dangerous corkscrew manoeuvre into the mountains. It took him two years of training and about 1,500 hours behind the stick to get the proficiency required to do the aerial stunts himself. The final fight between Henry Cavill and Tom Cruise is on Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) in Norway. It's on my bucket list to visit, but I haven't been yet. My buddy whom I play boardgames with every other week, went last year. Beautiful pictures! They really did tussle up there, though again it was digitally altered to look significantly more dangerous than it really was. I doubt that Tom Cruise is fully sane, but you gotta respect the work ethic and commitment to his craft. PS: "Is that a nuclear explosion? No, it's just the sun." Well... Technically, the Sun is a nuclear explosion! 🤓

Looking forward to watching the Fallout reaction. I do want to say in advance that perhaps for the final two movies, you shouldn't place expectations too high. I obviously won't give any spoilers, and I don't want to severely affect the experience of watching them. But if you end up having issues with Dead Reckoning, don't feel like you have to pretend that it's perfect. There were a lot of fans of the series such as myself who weren't entirely satisfied.

Movies with KL

I have never pretended to enjoy a movie if I actually didn't and I will continue to be that way in my reactions. Saying what you have said has now set expectations for me, though.

WastedPo

Apologies. I had hoped my comments were general enough that they wouldn't have drastically affected your personal experience. I should probably have also mentioned that there is a lot of good stuff ahead as well.

Nathan Jasper

Technically, in a way, 3 onward have all been connected stories. Julia's kidnapping in 3, Brandt's guilt over being the unofficial bodyguard thinking she was dead, then Julia being used as leverage in Fallout. And of course Solomon ties to Rogue Nation. Maybe we can consider 3-6 all as one giant movie and rank them all as one entry in the #1 spot? Is that cheating? LOL For me, as far as 1-6 goes since that's what you've seen, I'd say 6-3-4-1-5-2, though that tends to change a lot every rewatch haha

I think this is the best action movie I have ever seen. It's probably sacrilege to say that compared to T2 and Die Hard, but of course, so much of what those directors did was practical, and this has CGI cars whizzing about. But still, the way Ethan has to keep making moral and tactical choices makes it gripping.

"you shouldn't place your expectations too high" "You don't have to pretend it's perfect.....a lot of fans weren't entirely satisfied" Literally why wouldn't this give the impression that they're terrible. Personally I really enjoyed Part One, I saw it in theaters and it completely revitalized my love for the series, not that it had been lost....more just on hiatus. I really don't know what the complaints are about other than the lack of complete closure on part one, but....you'd expect that from half a story. Guess I still have one to see though, maybe I'm speaking too soon.

Turnt SNACO

"I love that during his running scenes you can see it in his face that he is doing it all" I agree, and fun fact, during the rooftop scene there is a part where he jumps from a roof to another, catching himself on the ledge and pulling himself up before continuing to run. When he gets back up, before it cuts away you can see him hobble a little bit - he like shattered his leg or foot or something against the wall of the building he jumped against when he made that jump, so when he stood up to finish filming that shot with him continuing to run, he was standing on a broken leg. So yes, he is REALLY doing it, and he FULLY commits. Also I just want to say that I basically agree with your thoughts on ranking so far except I personally don't put this one as high as three and five, I think it may be exactly the most consistent one from beginning to end, but no one part of it stands out in my memory the way parts of the other movies do. I always have to stop and think for a minute about what actually happens in this movie and what makes it good. I do agree that the locations in this film are outstanding though, I actually saw this one in theaters, it was the first mission possible movie I ever saw, with the intent of taking this series seriously and seeing what all the fuss was about. Needless to say, as soon as I saw this movie, not only did I feel like I was missing a bunch of context for this story, but I wanted to see every other film immediately because I had no idea I was missing out a franchise that has so many cool things to offer.
