Great movie in a great series.
My only complaint is there was no tense infiltration scene, which has always been a staple of the series.
There is a tense exfiltration scene though

The reason the Mission: Impossible series works so well is because the action is not obsessed with coolness, but with tension.
Isn't this true for most movies. The lead dying rarely actually happens.Saw this on the weekend. It's impressive how they are able to build the tension to such a high level, even when everyone in the audience knows that they aren't going to kill off Ethan Hunt. No complaints at all. Great movie.
Fallout was fantastic. Excellent cinematography, a story that made good use of past films/characters, top tier action & stunt work (as usual), and even managed to have just the right amounts of humour and emotion mixed in.
Recommend everyone see it (but make sure you've at least seen the 3rd and 5th movies before you do for the full effect).
Saw it last night, had a great time even though I didn't really understood the plot. That helicopter scene at the end reminded me of something straight out of the Uncharted series.
really phenomenal. favorite action spectacle film with mad max this decade.

Yes, he really climbed that rope as it took off, climbed up just as you saw it, and fell down just as you saw it. The only CG used was to edit out the safety rope attached to him. He also trained for 18 months to learn how to pilot the chopper and he flew every bit you see of him in the cockpit, including the narrow canyons and trailing the other chopper very close at times. No trainer or co-pilot there to help, etc. Cavil was also really in the other chopper, hanging out the door throughout those scenes.Oh and none of this is CG. So Tom kinda was really hanging from a chopper? Also, does that guy age? In fact he looked older in Rogue Nation than here, how?
There is lots on YouTube if you search for it. Tons of making of vids showing how they did most of the crazy stuff.Tom cruise really is a machine. I still need to watch behind the scenes stuff. I know he did a tonne of his own stunts but I don't know specifics.
Cheers dude. Never checked out podcasts before but found 3 related to this.Yup. Apparently Cruise added that himself.
There is a movie podcast called "Empire Film" and they did an epic 3 hour interview with the director. I listened to the whole thing and highly recommend it if you love this movie and want to know more about how it was made.
Great article by film critic Hulk

Well he did break his leg. Maybe that has something to do with it.Cruise is starting to look a little slow in some of these action scenes.

Yeah, I thought about that.Well he did break his leg. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Actually, now that I think of it, Fallout echoes a couple of bits from M:I2. Overuse or magical masks: check. Decisive fist fight in exotic location following a drawn out vehicle chase: check. Wonder what else.
Just got out of this and this has probably already been discussed but how the hell did this not make it into the film:
What is this? I would have thought this alone would have cost so much money to film they would have had to put it in. It's the final money shot of the trailer! Or is it just a bullshot that was never intended to go into the film? What's the story here? I don't think I've ever seen what looks like such a major stunt go completely absent in a final cut of a film. It doesn't even look like it's geographically close to where the final sequence takes place. They're waaaay up in the snowy mountains. Or that it'd logically fit into the script (surely the helicopter was going to hit the trick here, and surely that'd be the end of the helicopter and Hunt would have to proceed on foot/vehicle from there).
I loved that finally there's some kind of payoff to Hunt's silly 'vacation' rock climbing adventure in MI:2. Here he finally puts it to good use when Cavill has to rely on the rope to climb up and as soon as Hunt realises that he can just rock climb his way to safety, he yanks that useless rope for all it's worth.
It's mentioned in the Empire Film podcast. When Ethan flies down into the clouds, he ends up in that action sequence involving the truck. They cut it because the whole helicopter sequence was too long, and ultimately Cruise didn't mind cutting it out because (I'm going by dodgy memory) in that particular shot Cruise is not flying a chopper for real but is in a prop.
