Pretty sweet action flick. Ultimately forgettable, but in the moment it’s pretty awesome. The IMAX looked great, except maybe the sand storm scene because you can’t see shit anyway so now we can just see a huge amount of nothing rather than an average amount of nothing. The story was good, they kept it simple, brought it back to M:I’s cold war roots: There is a Russian plot to start nuclear war, and the IMF needs to stop it. Of course they’re rogue now, that’s what happens to agents like this. The action set pieces were great and didn’t feel forced. There was some tie in to the other movies that I didn’t expect (Ving Rhames!), Simon Pegg was particularly funny, and Tom Cruise has still got it.
