Mission Impossible 7: Dead Reckoning Part 1 is one of the best movies of 2023... but also one of the most frustrating and even disappointing. Or maybe just for me. I dunno. I've heard a lot of people loving it and saying it's the best Mission Impossible yet, even better than Fallout. And maybe they're right. I just don't accept that. And so today let's go over some bigger flaws in Dead Reckoning which I didn't like and why... to see why Fallout easily clears it.
Mission Impossible 7: Dead Reckoning Part 1 sends Tom Cruise against his worst enemy yet: ChatGPT. And as you may have expected from Fallout, the movie is pretty damn good. One of the best action movies you'll see this year, and even though it flopped at the box office a bit, that was mostly due to Barbenheimer. And since Dead Reckoning is great for a lot of the same reasons I've covered before, today let's focus on its ability to seemingly cheat time itself. The movie simply begins and then suddenly ends, without ever letting you go. So in today's Film Perfection, let's see how you can do it too.

Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
In Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan's past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission - not even the lives of those he cares about most. Watch the Final Trailer and see why #MissionImpossible - Dead Reckoning Part One starring Tom Cruise is 98% CERTIFIED FRESH.

It was such a bizarre "Sophie's Choice" that Gabriel presented Ethan with. "Either you let the person die who the audience loves and who we've written to be your soulmate. Or you let this random stranger die who has betrayed you multiple times." The Sophie's choice also made absolutely zero narrative sense. Like, this computer program needs a "sacrifice?" What, why? More like McQuarrie needed to justify to the audience he was about to kill off Ilsa, so he made the A.I. arbitrarily want one of them dead.

THANK YOU You externalized it much better than I could even though I felt pretty much exactly this. Holy crap Fallout was intense and dangers felt real, highly engaging and has that grippy high contrast cinematic look to it. All the stunts were jaw dropping what's more many are things we never saw before (made better with sky diving cam and helicopter cam so we feel the speed of the intense chase and fall.) Where as this one felt like a tier below it, it's campy, it's humor's very jarring at times, and honestly I personally really don't like the gray- washed tone color scheme. Ironic that even WITH drab color schemes Fallout still > this movie. Fallout's misty Fjord's drab color scheme looked deliberate and alien (rugged and dangerous) like you are on another planet and drab color scheme in this movie just makes Venice felt nasty and Alps look generic. By the end of it, I just felt like I I've seen this movie before even though previous MI sequels doesn't usually make you feel that.

Agree on how killing Ilsa didnt work, i heard a review when the film came out that killing Simon Pegg would have worked better: -he was going to the bridge anyway -the ai asking the "are you afraid of death?" question -proves the main characters can do things the ai wont predict

@dynamo1796 5 ай бұрын

I think the plot and the movie just isn't brave enough to kill Pegg's character. But I agree, what a moment that would have been - the eager, whip smart but ultimately a little naive team member who doesn't deserve to go. Ilsa - shes cool, shes a badass and all that. But shes a tier 1 assassin/ spy. Ilsa knows the deal and she's done a lot of dodgy shit because thats the game she's in. She gets killed, its sad yes (Ethan loses a close ally) but we aren't really seeing it as an injustice. Ilsa knows this mission, like any other, could be her death and she's not afraid of it. But Benji - that would be a bit like in Infinity War when Thanos kills Spiderman. Its a punch to the gut, you've got this likable character who's well meaning but he isn't a killer and he is really only in it for the ideology and his friends. There are many more worthy characters but it really hits you that the one who deserved it least, got killed. Ultimately though the film wasn't brave enough for it, and we all go into the end of the first half knowing that Ilsa is doomed and Ethan is going to be chasing Grace around the place for the rest of the film, presumably before there is redemption arc. I mean, fuck, the film can't even commit to killing to killing Paris at the end after she saves Ethan and Grace. She slumps down and we're all like awww, the bad girl came good at the end classic. Then one of the CIA guys goes "hey, we got a pulse here" and its just like ah fucking fucksakes - did anyone actually fucking die in this film?!

Probably my biggest gripe with MI7 is that they introduce "Gabriel" as this "blast from Ethan's past" (i.e. the "dead" who's come to give Ethan his "reckoning") but there was essentially zero setup not only in this movie (basically 30 seconds of flashbacks when Ethan actually tells the story) but also zero setup in any of the previous movies or even a reference to the old TV show like Phelps was in the first movie. Honestly, once Kittridge from the first movie returned I was more expecting hacker Jack to return as well with scars and artificial body parts instead of Gabriel since that would've made more sense if a "rogue AI" was intended to be the antagonist.

I think we needed the "30 years ago" flashback to be the cold open for the movie. It may even have been shot that way originally, but then the submarine scene needed to be added to build up the newly added "Entity". In general the movie starts seeming like Ethan's past and the retcon of the IMF basically being a way to dodge prison is going to be really important, and then mostly drops it for the Entity/Gabriel stuff.

@WastedPo 6 ай бұрын

They also did some bizarre retconning with the IMF itself. In previous movies it was a government agency that openly worked with the CIA, etc. Here, suddenly it's some secret society like the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" or the Illuminati. And the backstories of all the agents were suddenly, 'You all did something terrible. So instead of going to jail, you chose to work for the IMF." What? Benji did some horrible crime?

I watched this last night and there were three things that bugged me. First was the exposition dump where multiple characters were informing their boss of the Entity and after the first persons sentence ended the next person would pick it up seamlessly, like they were Borg or something. Second was the retcon of how the IMF works and even how some people came to be members without spoiling much. Third was confirmed for me at 7:30 , I was watching the movie and I kept thinking "I bet they shot this without a script in place". A lot of pointless running around areas and choreographed fights that didn't really mean much and could have plot written around them later, and it looks like they did just that. Also not a fan of Grace constantly making idiotic decisions for someone who has successfully eluded authorities for years and constantly betraying Ethan, yet he's like "I trust you!

The core problem with the franchise is that they try to tie everything to Ethan personally. In most movies in the franchise things revolve around him and his past or present acquaintances, and it was already jarring about 3 movies ago. All the villains who want to conquer or destroy the world are from Ethan's past and they all either did, or want to kill Ethan's love interests... Come on, buzz off. Give us a villain that doesn't know Ethan or care about his girlfriends, please. If things go on like this it will turn into a farce like the Fast franchise with the forced 'family' messaging.

I think it was disappointing how with each entry the franchise has improved upon itself with Fallout being an absolute peak and by contrast this film feels like a major step back. In Fallout you had the halo jump, rooftop chase sequence, helicopter chase, and cliffside fight as major highlights. Every sequence was one upping the previous. In Dead Reckoning the marketing and the film itself builds up to only one major stunt, that being the motorbike cliff jump which is then immediately ruined by the schlock of him conveniently and ridiculously flying through the exact window he needs to take out a henchman about to shoot Grace. And that was kind of it. In a franchise dependent on one upping the previous entry with each consecutive film I never felt anything come even close to Fallout.

@dynamo1796 5 ай бұрын

Completely agree. Its kinda had the James Bond effect happen to the franchise - Skyfall was an absolute triump of storytelling. It came after a couple of decent films (actually Casino Royal was good) and it was a billion dollar success. Then it dipped a bit with Spectre, being a bit average but still good, and then into No Time To Die which was just a big "huh?!". Massive film, great plot beats and devices but a poorly cast villain and some very weird plot directions that ultimately left the whole film feeling... a bit meh. Sure the final act swings for the fences but I actually can't remember much of several "important" scenes or characters leading up to that. I can remember the entirety of Skyfall like I remember the entirety of Fallout but No Time To Die and Dead Reckoning are just huge films that lumber along, rather than dancing like their predecessors.

@ilsalandy4351 6 ай бұрын

Omg, I wholeheartedly agree with you. But for me, the biggest downturn was the treatment of female characters, esp. Ilsa's death, which literally made no sense in every single way. How could she be overpowered by Gabriel? Why would she risk her life for this random girl she has met a day ago? It doesn't make sense and the way she is just replaced with Grace is just undeserving. I felt like the aftermath of her death was very little and considering her history with Ethan, the team and overall in the franchise, her death was pointless, it didn't move the story or had any actual impact. Additiionally, I thought that Paris' story towards the end became kind of basic, with her nearly dying and now probably helping the IMF. The only female character's story I somewhat liked was the White Widow's, as she had an actual plotline, motives and sort of conflicting storyline. SHe was the only charcter who was morally ambiguous, everyone els (at least in my opinino) was very black or white in regards to their motives and morals. ANd in all honesty, Grace was jut annoying.

Just a simple change in script, "instead of benji giving directions to Ethan, why not the director let AI fool Ethan at that time, where AI motivation is to kill Ethan or not let him board the train. So when ethan reached Mountain Edge, the AI reveals itself and says 'you lost ethan'. And when Ethan realises its AI, he shows that he can't be defeated by some machine again & again by jumping from cliff..

Dead Reckoning felt like they finally crossed the line between a movie and a rollercoaster ride that the previous entries balanced so well. The franchise has always been (with the exception of MI2) half thriller and half action. The big stunts worked so well because you knew the stakes and were hyped up by the tense build-up and detailed preparation preceding them. But here, the action just sort of happens. Stakes are so vague that I was rarely afraid of what might happen if the heroes didn't succeed. It's a pity, too, because the smaller scenes used to be some of the best parts, like the heist in MI1, Kremlin in MI4 or the opera assassination in MI5.

So, there's nothing wrong with the key necessarily, it's just that MI:7 didn't pull it off like MI:3 did.

The fight in the car factory is creative, yes, but like all the scenes in MI:4, it lacks substance and makes no sense.

Imo the best MI movie was actually Ghost Protocol. I never really cared about the emotion in any of the movies because all of the stakes were always very artificial. I don't think that the world is going to end in movie number 7, and I don't care if Tom Cruise's one-note girlfriend gets killed. I loved GP because the action there is the most entertaining. The action is built with either more realistic stakes (In the Kremlin sequence the consequence for failure wasn't the end of the world, but rather getting discovered, which while in theory meant the end of the world might be unavoidable, for the movie's purposes it meant an action sequence that the characters aren't interested in will happen) or with more relatable fears (The whole Dubai sequence is incredible at capturing the essence of fear of heights). In fallout, I didn't really care for any of the action sequences, except for maybe the skydiving one. The helicopter chase felt too disconnected from reality it was hard to feel any suspense for Tom Cruise. Personally I do think that MI7 is better than Fallout, mostly because of the final train sequence, but neither are anywhere as good in my opinion as GP.

But the much bigger problem was Ilsa fighting with the sword. She had the much greater reach advantage over Gabriel's knife, but she kept doing the fighting up close as she did in Fallout. I could understand McQuarrie wanting to write it that way for the kinetic action, but Ilsa never would have fought like that because that not only nullified her big advantage but it also minimized the usefulness of the sword. Another problem was when the operative chasing Ethan and Grace were fighting Paris. Paris was shooting from behind the vehicle's door, but her legs were completely exposed. The average cop may not notice that, but the operatives chasing Ethan should have noticed. Gabriel's arrival in a box could be explained as that was the greatest probability The Entity saw for success. As for the choice, I guess that was Ilsa showing up before he killed Grace. I also didn't like how they turned every IMF operative into a criminal rather than a volunteer.

MI7 is genuinely frustrating to me because beneath the good ideas presented lies some of the weakest writing and editing the series has ever seen, and it's even more shocking considering that this is McQ we're talking about. He made 2 back-to-back masterpieces, and somehow in this one he made one mistake after the other that made me like the movie less the more I watch. Like, why did you fridge Ilsa when you're the strongest advocator for strong female leads, only to replace her with a less interesting less capable Ilsa almost immediately (Grace)? Like it's insane to me that of all the two-parters this year between Fast X, ATSV and MI7, somehow MI7 is the worst of the three.

@WastedPo 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, the Ilsa thing was my biggest issue. It felt incredibly lazy and cliche to fridge her. All the more surprising coming from someone like McQuarrie who likes to subvert expectations and tropes and who handled the female characters so well in previous screenplays. Worse is that the entire movie is structured to be a "meet cute" between Cruise and Atwell, to the point that it's the overarching B-Plot. That would be fine if it were the first film in a franchise, but since it's the seventh and Ethan is already attached, disposing of Ilsa felt especially manufactured and cynical. And the way that they got rid of Ilsa was comically meaningless. She didn't go out like a bad-ass; she was protecting a largely useless character who didn't even need to be on that bridge in the first place. Everything after that (especially the enemies-to-lovers flirting between Ethan and Grace) just didn't sit right. With like 2/3 of the movie's runtime being tainted with that bit of laziness, a lot of the smaller things started bothering me as well. Like how the White Widow--who was so cool and intelligent in Fallout--was now being played like a cartoony Harry Potter villain. ... Or how the bad guy knew precisely when to drop off the train to fall into the truck. Yes, I know he's connected to the Entity, but there is still no possible way either of them could've predicted there would be that fight with Ethan on that specific spot on the train. ... Also, did I miss something? How did Ethan even know that the bridge was going to be blown up in the first place?

Until I saw this film I thought that it was only complaining feminists who talked about a female character being "fridged", but with the whole way Ilsa's death was handled, the only way I could describe it was that she got fridged. The whole setup in which she and Ethan have a pseudo-romantic evening together in Venice just seemed so crowbarred in to raise the stakes so that she can be killed and Ethan will be pissed about it. The worst part is that it didn't even matter. If there were consequences such as Ethan actually killing Gabriel for revenge, which meant that they lost track of the AI, then her death would have served some purpose in the plot. But as it happened, Ethan tried to kill him but failed (as he was stopped by the American agents), and then Gabriel escaped anyway. So in the end, Ilsa just got killed off for dramatics and it had no actual consequences.

Finally! Someone said it! I binge watched all of the movies before seeing this one and Fallout was a masterpiece. This movie was horrible! First Tom Cruise was completely and utterly "forced" and his acting was way off the mark. Second... The stunt was also forced and a total waste of time. Did no one else notice that Gabrielle and like three other people found easy ways to get on the train and somehow the only way Tom could get don't train was to jump off a cliff with a motorcycle? And yes they showed the entire stunt 67 times in the trailer so it was a total let down. Then Elsas death scene was ridiculous. The other chic was wearing a pirate shirt for god sakes and someone this spy movie suddenly turned into Pirates of the Caribbean with a sword fight? Made no sense. Gabrielle was the worst villain ever. The tiny car chase seen going through the streets of Italy has so been done before. The train scene at the end has been done a billion times. I've waited so long for a single negative review of this movie I've forgotten more things I hated about this movie than every other movie I saw this year combined. I just think people have lowered their standards so much they'll get excited about anything now a days. Go back and watch Fallout and tell me that this movie even comes close. 300 million dollars on this movie? On what?!?

@shahzebhasan9995 6 ай бұрын

Honestly, as somebody who found Fallout underwhelming, this movie was frustrating because it doubled down on the issues that movie had, underwhelming villains and a focus on Ethan's love life. Walker and Lane were barely a threat (still can't get over the fact Walker got his ass kicked by Alec Baldwin), so the A.I. (hyped up as being able to alter reality, only to pull the same hacking shit every villain does), Gabriel (teases a connection with Ethan that goes nowhere, falls for the oldest trick in the book in the finale, like, he and the A.I. didn't take pickpocketing into account?! Oh, and if this is "all part of the plan" in part 2 it just makes Gabriel's presence in the finale pointless) and Paris (lost the fight in her first direct confrontation with Ethan despite being armed and having a numbers advantage, and don't even get me started about her "redemption", Ethan sparing her felt like it was more because he had to rush to get to Ilsa) were reduced to being complete jokes. Fallout's finale reduced Ilsa into being a love interest, and not only do they double down on that we now we have a second one in Grace to make proceedings even more insufferable.

@RF20Lennon 6 ай бұрын

Fallout didn’t reduce Ilsa to a love interest at all. It specifically subverts that trope. She’s there for her reasons & trying to get her life back. They didn’t have a kissing scene specifically here cause Rebecca Ferguson made it clear she’d rather die than be the love interest. Like if you found Fallout underwhelming I don’t know how to help you lmao. Just zero appreciation for actual craft? Watch the blocking & composition. Look at the sound design. It’s use of light & shadows. It’s masterful.

W/regards to Gabriel, they should've written him as someone who pulling the strings for Syndicate or the apostles on Fallout and Solomon Lane was his henchman or partner, and now that Solomon Lane is gone he's forced to come out of the shadows in search for the 🔑 as an opening scene/sequence of events at the beginning of the movie. Make him be on the hunt for the key at the beginning of the movie before Ethan Hunt gets his mission. Make Ethan Hunt learn about Gabriel and the key during his mission debrief should he choose to accept it and he needs to learn from Solomon Lane what the key is about and why is Gabriel looking for the key.

Dead Reckoning is a solid movie yet Fallout did everything M7 did but so much better.

The concepts and ideas were just not strong enough.

Had me frustrated to the point of laughter And yes, completely agree with every point made. Can't believe the story we got after Rogue Nation and Fallout which handled storylines and characters better. (Ilsa's death is the biggest crime in the franchise or maybe of all movies this year bye)
