GOD DAMN!
I saw the movie today in IMAX, McQuarrie can do no wrong. It's just sheer intensity that somehow manages to keep outdoing itself while never becoming so out there that it feels weightless or losing the focus on the characters. I do have one thing to say about Tom Cruise:
The dude is looking ooolllllllllllllldddddddddddddd. I know there was a thread a while back saying how Tom Cruise is still looking good, but after Fallout I can no longer support such a notion. The dude's age is finally showing and no matter how much make-up or CGI touch-ups they do with his face, the dude looks like a 50+ year old man. Honestly, I wish he'd stop dying his hair and trying to pretend like he's 30 years old still. I wish he'd just lean into a more older, grizzled look, because the pretend 30 year old just ain't working anymore.
Any who, dude is still just amazing in his role along with the whole cast. I do like how McQuarrie managed to work back in his wife and write her out of Ethan's life in a way that is respectful. And, I love bringing back Rebecca Ferguson, she just kills it in that role and they just need to make her a permanent member of the team already.
