It looks dynamite!

Some say that it's the best movie franchise of the last twenty years.
I would tend to agree.

Just for fun; box office revenues, all that jazz.

He is an audiophile. He also bought some of OMA's gear. He has to keep making these mission impossible sequels to fund gear purchase

True what you've just said; the proof is in his film's audio soundtracks...some of the top gun best. I'm sure Tom has something to do with it, working with the music composers and film mixers. I am amazed @ the audiophile motion picture soundtracks of his films.

I can give many examples but if Tom's Mission Impossible fans are reading this, plus his other films in the last number of years...Live - Die - Repeat, Oblivion, Top Gun (a sequel is in the works, that's right), ...they know what I'm talking about; on 4K, in 3D, on Blu-ray, on DVD, on Laser Disc, on VHS tape.

The surround sound action in his films is generally top notch, and the bass impact is tremendous...read very very very satisfying. Look no further than just the last two Mission Impossible flicks...M:I-4 and M:I-5 ... M:I-3 and M:I-2 too.

Edge of Tomorrow the same, and Oblivion.

Tom Cruise is affiliated with excellent action scenes and excellent audio soundtracks.

...Collateral, War of the Worlds, Eyes Wide Shut, Jack Reacher, Minority Report, Magnolia, Days of Thunder, The Last Samurai, Born on the Fourth of July, The Color of Money, Knight and Day, Far and Away, ...

This film is everywhere, no matter which beach I'm walking on.
I think I'm going to see it, in (((3D)))

Another great review: http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/movie-review-mission-impossible-fallout

What would be Tom Cruise's number one trademark?
1. Doing all his stunts himself.
2. Doing all his stunts himself.
3. Or doing all his stunts himself.

We have Star Wars, we have Guardians of the Galaxy, we have Avengers, we have Jurassic Park, we have Black Panther, we have Wonder Woman, we have James Bond, we have Aquaman, we have Jack Reacher, we have John Wick, and we have Mission Impossible.

Between James Bond and Ethan Hunt, how long till one gives up before the other one?

I went to see Fallout today. Very good crowd for an early matinee at my local theater.

Enjoyed the movie for what it was - fun action flick. Good locations in Paris, London and Kashmir.

Lots of car chases and aerial chases, too.

Was a bit too long in my opinion at 2 hours and 28 minutes. Caught myself checking my watch at about the 2 hour mark.

NorthStar · Jul 27, 2018

I think the older we get long movies take a toll on us, in particular inside a public movie theater. I could handle them better when I was much younger.

* 'Interstellar' is twenty minutes longer (2h. 49m.), but somehow I was able to go along for the entire ride, @ the movie theater.

Trailer looks amazing and just watched a video where he was training and they did the HALO jumps in real life with Cruise, no stuntman/double. Amazing....WOW was not a great film with respect to his acting but I do enjoy the MI franchise. The supporting cast makes it even better...

audioguy · Jul 28, 2018

I like most of these MI movies. I was a big fan when it was a TV show. I'm not a Tom Cruise "fan" but these particular movies are quite entertaining. And for those of us who have 3D audio systems (aka Dolby Atmos or DTS:X), some of these have those soundtracks and make the movie even more "engaging".

Looking forward to seeing this one at home.

Cruise is a strange person, but he always brings it when it comes to action movies. Also, as a science fiction fan, I like that he sponsors science fiction projects that are usually high quality. Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow and Minority Report are some of my favorites.

Disagree. Christopher McQuarrie’s direction was so good, Cruise—and everybody else—delivered an exceptional performance. Fabulous film!

853guy · Jul 28, 2018

For me, Tom Cruise is perhaps less an actor than someone whose performance style has reduced acting to action. That is, he has transposed the inner journey of a character into a collection of external physical signifiers, existing solely on the surface in which they are manifest in on/off dynamics.

There is so little nuance in these flexions that any sense of the character’s humanity is erased, and is replaced with a domineering physical presence in an attempt to make up for a lack of internally-generated characterisation. Instead of character beats offering a degree of shading, complexity or juxtaposition to the story beats deepening our connection to the story and the character’s journey, we’re given character beats that mimic and literalise them. Tom Cruise no longer stars as a character in action films - he is the action.

That he has occasionally demonstrated abilities of surprising subtlety (most notably in Magnolia), those few exceptions appear more as a testament to the willingness of the casting director to embrace the idiosyncrasies of the director (1).

Cruise’s career then is one that can be ultimately summarised as see Tom run, see Tom jump, see Tom yell.

That he has now become his own stuntman is perhaps the ultimate expression of this.

All in my opinion, if that wasn't already obvious.

(1) Paul Thomas Anderson also managed to eek a similarly career-best performance out of Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk Love, while I thought Francis Coppola and Doug Liman got nice performances from Cruise in The Firm and Edge of Tomorrow, respectively.
