So how was regular 3D, worth it or not? Going to cinema on Monday and deciding if 2D or 3D (not reading through thread to avoid spoilers). Thanks Era!
I would start with MI3. It's story plays a huge role in FalloutBit tangential, but I've never seen a Mission Impossible film and am wondering where to start. Should I just start from the first, and watch them all in order?
I worry that they won't hold up. Will probably be watching them with my girlfriend too, who loves action but has little tolerance for dated and cheesy films.

Well, the only cheese one is 2 I guess, 1 was almost a non action drama thriller compqred to the recent ones.Bit tangential, but I've never seen a Mission Impossible film and am wondering where to start. Should I just start from the first, and watch them all in order?

I almost fell asleep watching Isla follow Ethen through Paris yeah.Saw it last night with someone who hadnt seen any MI before, which was interesting to see their reaction. We both really enjoyed it. It's definitely the first of these movies to go for such heavy laden dramatism, which made an emotional payoff Ive never gotten out of these movies, at least since MI3. However, I think the price to pay for that payoff was rewatchability. I can see this movie feeling like overly long and dragged out, especially during the Paris scenes. Still, I really liked it a lot, and it's definitely contending with GP for my favorite, and it's well over Rogue Nation.
Awesome. So skip 1 and 2, watch 3 -> Ghost -> Rogue -> Fallout?
Hm I could feel that when Luther is suddenly having a heart to heart with Ilsa. Thought it was a little out of place tbhIn the Empire podcast linked earlier in the thread, one of McQuarrie's intentions was to make the movie stand alone, due to it being aimed at a massive demographic of movie 'casuals' who don't post on forums like us nerds. So, despite being part of a franchise, you can still just watch this movie without having seen any of the others, you're not going to be confused or lost. It's actually a tough task, to avoid exposition explaining the relationship between Ethan and Julia/Ilsa, but he manages it pretty deftly.
Do they talk about the bloodied barbwire shot anywhere? These podcasts are too long for my current time scheduleListening to part 2 of Empire's podcast, just 50 minutes with the Empire crew, and they are hilarious. Highly recommend it. Looks like part 3 with McQuarrie is going to be another long one.

The cinema wasn't on board either, multiple people were laughing during the finale action sequence.
1 is still the best IMO, its not an action movie at all but the spy stuff hasn't been topped since, and the ending train sequence is still fucking amazing.
It's really quite amazing how the finale of this one uses info from part 2.
Great film. Long film but never felt it at any time. Half a star taken off because Henry Cavill is a terrible actor, luckily it seems the director knows this and his portrayal played up to being wooden. Funny seeing Lysefjord/pulpit rock as Kashmir though as I live very close to it.
Also what's this about info from the the 2nd one in the finale?
That isn't really a casuals-vs.-fans thing, though. That information was new to everybody, as we'd never gotten a real explanation for what happened between the third and fourth movies and what the current status of the marriage was.Hm I could feel that when Luther is suddenly having a heart to heart with Ilsa.

I don't remember it fully now but a lot of it was laid out in four I thought. It was good to have even for fans, but it wasn't necessarily necessary. I think the only added info was that Julia seemed to struggle with it alot, thinking who's saving the world if you're here.That isn't really a casuals-vs.-fans thing, though.

I feel like he was referencing Infinity War in that part where he pointed out other movies that required viewing earlier films. But that means he's missing the point and the fun of the MCU.In the Empire podcast linked earlier in the thread, one of McQuarrie's intentions was to make the movie stand alone, due to it being aimed at a massive demographic of movie 'casuals' who don't post on forums like us nerds.

All we learned in GP was that they had faked Julia's death. It wasn't clear exactly why, or what the status of things with Ethan was.I don't remember it fully now but a lot of it was laid out in four I thought.

Should have told staff he was recording it. A lot of people don't know that theatres actually get paid a bonus when they catch people recording in the theatre. The staff would have been very happy you told them.Other people are the worst thing about movie theatres these days.
There was a guy far away from me in Infinity War and I could still see him videotaping the whole thing and his notification volume was up all the way for texting.
Yeah, and I usually seem to get beside the loudest people in the theatre, chewing a huge bag of popcorn nonstop in the loudest way possible over the movie, or some other food. Thankfully, my Mission Impossible viewing was mercifully free of any distractions but it's something I always dread going to the theatre.I mean why would I sully a great movie experience with a random bunch of apes being insufferable? It's madness to pay money and spend three hours for that harassment ever again.
65" oled and Atmos at home. Yeah, last Public cinema experience for me, ever.
Unless I'm in a flagship Tokyo cinema for work. Premieres there are pretty civilized.
There was a scene at the Kashmir border that they cut out.Do they talk about the bloodied barbwire shot anywhere? These podcasts are too long for my current time schedule
Luckily here in Norway the cinema experience is super chill. Did make me laugh when the whole cinema started laughing at the long shot of prekestolen mascarading as Kashmir haha

No OLED or Atmos but I've also got a 65" 4K and the quality is seriously better than the digital IMAX. Faces in long shots in the IMAX can be a pixelated mess. Dolby Cinema sounds great, but we don't have it in Canada. Our premium format, AVX, usually looks blurry and dim with the 3D glasses. I never would have thought I'd say this a few years ago, I'd love to watch new movies on my TV instead of going out. I'd even be more likely to watch lower tier movies like Tomb Raider if that was the case. I still go to the theatre because I can't wait for these movies, but I'm always thinking this would look better on my HDR TV.
There's obvious reasons why Day 1 streaming wouldn't work out though. Companies can't judge how many people are watching a movie. It's far easier to make a pristine bootleg. It stops the whole double dip market of paying for movie theatre tickets and then months later buying it for home.
