Oh man this movie was a such an immersive experience
I didn't even realise how my 3 hrs went by
I like that The Entity makes mistakes and corrects itself. Like at the beginning when it placed the phantom sub too far away and one of the Russian soldiers say that the sub is too far away for the signal to be so strong, it could even be the Entity making an error using the dead reckoning to calculate where the phantom sub should be placed. The Entity then changes the position of the phantom sub be closer.
I didn't even think about that :O Brilliant thinking! :)
Its a very clever peice of kit. Actually quite scary it could be real one day.
@@SK4M_Frealvery real and when the director was telling Ethan about the next wars is so spot on
Got some Eagle Eye vibes
Kittridge's first line to Ethan was "I understand you're upset" which is the same line said to him in the aquarium restaurant in Prague in M:I 1.
And Ethan said back: « You have never seen me really upset «
Bravo Vince
I'm almost positive that Pom will be back, she's credited for part 2 and the one agent says at the end that she still has a pulse
Pom should cross over into the next John Wick too
They did Pom dirty in Old Boy
@@mychaeljones7526the one with Josh Brolin?
@@_Amit_Sunil Hell yeah, maybe in John Wick 5? Or in the Ballerina spinoff movie
That agent is named Degas, and his boss is Jasper Briggs.
I would love to see a Deep Dive of the Mission: Impossible franchise!
Person of Interest TV series was truly ahead of its time, started as Sci-Fi series turned realistic, several movies and series are adopting this kind of plot.
OK I feel like you missed some thing with the whole “riddle bomb”… so I thought they used those answers that Benji gave so they can later use it to trick Ethan while he was going down alleyways🙂👍
Yep!! That's exactly what happened.
I thought the entity just uses Benji's voice on every comm they had especially on MI 3 where he basically confuses Ethan whether it's left or right
There was a good example of 'predestination.' Paris betrays Gabriel because Gabriel thought she would, to repay Ethan for saving her life (presumably because the Entity calculated it). She even notes the irony.
I cannot explain how much I love this movie. I just cannot.
You forgot to mention that Pom Klemintoffs character is still alive as of the end of the movie. One of the guys chasing Tom Cruise checked her pulse after Tom jumped and guy said “she’s still breathing”
Crazy theory that is probably just me reading into things too much and attributing current events into a movie that was written years ago... but I wonder if there wasn't another meta-narrative beneath the surface of it all.
Like... what if 'the Entity' is a sly dig at the idea of AI writing scripts for movies, and it kind of relying on existing data and people's expectation in order to generate a derivative, but familiar, entry in a series.
FOR EXAMPLE. The return of Kittridge. The playful sleight of hand with the all-important mcguffin. Ethan Hunt's predictable, almost compulsive, attachment to female companions, especially beautiful brunettes (the nameless woman in the flashback, Thandiwe Newton, Paula Patton, Michelle Monaghan, Rebecca Ferguson (not always a brunette but you feel me), and now Hayley Atwell). Fighting atop a locomotive that goes into a tunnel. Or A FRENCH CHARACTER THAT INEVITABLY BETRAYS SOMEONE (Pom, but also Jean Reno!)... it almost feels like the Entity has seen the other six movies and THAT is how knows what to expect and how everyone will behave.
Again, likely off base, but the thought crossed my mind. :p
Petition to have Erik Voss in a marvel cameo
I second that motion 🫡
I third that motion 🫡
Signed
Dead franchise
No
I love this movie but there’s a few instances where you have to suspend your disbelief such as the last second save when Ethan breaks through the glass with the parachute just when someone was about to pull the trigger. It’s like come on…. That wasn’t set up like he was aiming for that window and knew what was about to happen.
It was funny, though. My whole theatre burst out laughing.
imagine that the thug Ethan kicked out the windows still hold the key lol
In the Sebastopol we can see a chees board next to the captain played by Marcin Dorocinski, who also played Vasily Borgov, russian chess master in Queen's Gambit.
I’ve been waiting for this! Completely obsessed with this film
Also when the Agent says "Stab him in the heart with a stake" I think it is also a reference to the movie "Interview with a Vampire" when he played Lestat.
He played himself
@@walrustargaryen7794 Haha, so I guess it works either way
I don't think Ilsa died... It seemed pretty staged. I think this was done to outsmart The Entity and make Grace comply with them or else she would have kept running.
Benji was in the room afterwards walking back from a ANALOG radio equipment, it'd be too obscene for them to not have used it at all, and you can't help but notice the IMF was fully committed to turning Grace that ILsa's “death” may need to be on Grace's conscience
I agree but only bc Ethan did not seem too sad afterwards. He just seemed to be in deep thought
@@mrblackbond right that's also true
Also, they never discussed their plan when they went into the meeting with the Widow.
I think the knife that "allegedly" kills Ilsa and the female assassin in the train.. will come back and is what ultimately kills that main villain. Both knives to be clear
At this very moment I'm walking out of the theater, and this pops up. I love that movie.
Patrick, on a scale of 1 to 10, how do you rate MI7?
Tom Cruise did nothing wrong yelling at his staff, man is jumping off cliffs and every member of the crew should be as dedicated as him to its success.
Yes I am a Scientologist
I don't know if you are trolling or not
@@run742 I really don't know. They might be
@@run742 I am kind of joking, obvi no one should be yelled at in a working environment
@@run742 it’s just as bad as other religions
Eric Voss once said off the record if you watch Titanic backwards, it's about a magical ship that saves people.....
And a very sad relationship between a woman and a seaman.
I cant believe you did a breakdown for mi:dead reckoning! thank you thank you!!
I never knew the fictional death of a fictional character could cause me so much pain
You should have been in a theater during a showing of Wrath of Kahn.
I know what you mean
Hi Eric, Pom/Paris is not dead in the movie, you can go back to the last part and the CIA agent told the other guy that she has pulse.
Also, dead reckoning, the concept of using previously determined positions to calculate an object’s next position, correlates to the Entity using the team’s previous missions and behaviors to determine what they’ll do.
0:17 hearing Cruise like that always stumps me and makes me laugh at the same time 😂
The baby stroller on the steps reminded me of the scene in Untouchables directed by Brian De Palma which itself was a homage to Battleship Potemkin.
The Fiat stair sequence is the exact set of stairs featured in the Fast X bomb sequence as well.
This was such a good movie. Every time I think Tom Cruise has does some of the craziest stunts, he proves me wrong in the next MI. Perfect 5/7 would see again
5/7?
@@JediKnight207 yup perfect 5/7 rating even from me.
@@pramudyamaulana6969 5 out of 7? That's a weird rating? usually we use x out of 5 or 10.
@@JediKnight207 haha. 5/7 is an long running internet meme, originated back on facebook era. this unusual rating means only intended to express earnest rating towards something (mostly on movies). long story short, 5/7 is equals to 10/10.
@@pramudyamaulana6969 8 hospital trips out of 11 ice cream vans
I have a huge girl crush on Rebecca Ferguson. She’s in a show called Silo and it’s so very good! I hope there’s a season 2.
Good news: it’s been renewed and has already begun filming! TBD how the actors’ strike will impact that though.
The line about the "wooden stake" a reference to Tom's classic role in Interview With the Vampire!
Erik, ya goober, the line about putting a wooden stake into Hunt wasn’t about Cruise’s agelessness, but a reference to him playing Lestat in “Interview with a Vampire!”
Thanks. I was looking for someone to point this out.
A character that inspired his later MI shenanigans I'm sure
7:40 Bit of a Agent Carter season one reunion there since he played Chief Dooley who was Peggy's boss.
Definitely a lot of callbacks to the previous 6 MI films, but the finale with the train - the modern Orient Express itself - feels like a re-imagining of the Orient Express section of From Russia With Love...a Bond film with an all-poweful technical Macguffin (for the time), a female lead with questionable loyalties and a section aboard the Orient Express where a carefully orchestrated plan goes to ruin due a fanatical henchman. And I'm sure if it'd been possible at the time, the fight between Red Grant and Bond in the train compartment would have been on the roof or something 😅
I'm retired Army. I'm right handed but left eye dominant. So I wear an eyepatch shooting. Like lots of people do.
The baby carriage on the steps during the chase in Rome may be a reference to Sergei Eisentstein's terrifying Odesa Steps sequence from "Battleship Potempkin." Worth a watch if you don't know it.
I’m surprised you guys missed the Lupin the 3rd reference with the yellow fiat and the craziness that went along with it
I love that you are crediting the researchers and contributors to this video 😊
I like how Simon Pegg has gone from Spaced to one of the biggest franchises.Crazy
Spaced is fantastic
From Spaced to three of the biggest franchises.
In the introduction, Russian Submarine Commander/captain is from Queen’s Gambit, the Russian champion, and there is a chess board on the submarine table.
MANTIS was acting really different in this movie!🤣🤙🏾
The part when the train engine goes off the bridge reminded me of Back To The Future: Part 3, Also some parts reminded me of Spider-Man 2.
Here's the thing tho. Tom Cruise was very right to yell about breaking Covid protocol.
This movie was so good, wish I saw it in the cinema now seeing on my phone 😂
Hmm
It’s been a while! Used to watch during GOT I’m glad your vid came up! 1st comment as well nice 👍 keep up the great work.
I loved this film. One callback I saw was the downloading of Alana/Grace’s money and the 1996 scene where Max is trying to transfer the NOC list before the TGV hits the Chunnel. Love your recaps.
7:45
If you want to make a connection to Tom Cruise and Vampires look no farther than Lestat from “Interview with the vampire.”
Surprising he blew that one, Pete 🙄
Lol the end when Erik said Tom Cruise gonna do free diving in the next movie. Please don't die Tom 😂
after what he did in 'Dead Reckoning', Im sure he has experience! LOL :)
I don’t know if I can watch MI: 8.
The stake in the chest could also be a call back to “Interview With a Vampire”
Exactly! I was about to write this, but I scrolled down see if someone alrasdy did this
The baby carriage that they had to avoid could be another nod to Brian de Palma, with the famous baby carriage scene in The Untouchables.
im glad he yelled at the crew for that shit.
Ilsa will be revealed in part 2 pulling off a mask to cheers in the audience. It is written.
I hope you are correct.
The desert scenes made me want a Metal Gear Solid movie.
Great video! More mission impossible content! I love this franchise and I think it has an interesting lore!
Just realized Jean Renos character in MI:1 is Krieger 😂😂
The bridge exploding to the rhythm of the Mission Impossible theme 😎
I was really hoping you would do this
How is Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny exactly like Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I?
- The movie plot takes place in Italy
- The prize everyone is looking for is split into two pieces.
- There is a major fight scene on top of and inside a moving train.
- Car Chases
- Horses
What does #Indy5 have that #MI doesn't....Stupid Nazi's and Time Travel.
I love the Uncharted 2 train scene at the end. Haha
Loved this film. Loved this breakdown!!
Its confirmed Paris is back in the next movie 😊
Keep making great films movies that last through the years
Not sure if it was the best M.I. but it was still a fun-packed ride and can't believe Ilsa died!! Can't wait for part2.
When I think about what it is Tom's gonna have to do for MI:8--something McQuarrie said they hadn't figured out how they're gonna do yet--it scares me.
Your analyses are so genius, I just wish you would slow down your speech so there is more time to process and appreciate the subtleties behind the profound connections you make.
Cary Elwes plays Pierre Despereaux from Psych and one of the most fun recurring characther to watch
For some reason I have been waiting for this video but at the same time I had the thought that they only do specific movie companies mostly marvel and sony and dc
Im still confused how the keys were found off the dead bodies after the entity self sank the sub to hide its location?
And why did the russians have the key if the americans planted the entity on the sub?
The movie shows the dead bodies floating to the surface. That's where they found the keys.
The keys are just to open that vault inside the sub. They have nothing to do with the actual AI.
The entity choose that place to hide because it's real hard to get to.
To be revealed in part II
They said it wasn’t till the spring of the following year did the ice melt and they pulled the bodies out.
Why hasn’t ethan told alanna his real name? There would be no point to use john lark anymore unless he doesn’t want her to know on purpose like the connection he had with her mother max. I hope that gets explored because thar has to mean something if he hasn’t told her.
I think Ethan learned his lesson to not give out his real name to dangerous arms dealers (like he did in M:I 3).
Great movie, I can't wait to see next
Most snipers get less eye fatigue and can look longer with both eyes open when sniping. When you are looking a long time. Having one eye closed is harder then both open and using your dominant eye.
This was the first time I didn't see a Mission Impossible movie in theaters. I will try to watch part two in theaters.
This movie was excellent, was so happy to see it in theaters. Looking forward to the final one next year, going to be exciting. Sad that Ilsa died in this movie but it needed to have weight which it definitely did.
Loved ❤
I enjoyed this SO MUCH! About time good movies are coming back!
If you look at a horseshoe with the open end down, it looks like the symbol for Omega, which could be another god reference.
Also, eathan hunt’s name is bell,
I honestly don't think Elsa/Ilsa is dead. At least I hope lol.
I was hoping you were going to break this movie down. And we all would love for you to do a break down or deep dive of all 7 movies the same way you did the mcu movies during the summer of 2020
I saw it with my dad and he wasn't lying about how hard the action scenes go
Saw this in 4DX..... fantastic❤❤❤
So we're not going to talk about the Fiat driving down the same exact stairs that Dom toretto did doing the same. Exact stunt narrowly missing a baby
This was an excellent movie
I think what everyone got wrong is; its not the Russians who created entity. Its the director who was killed by Gabriel. They used entity to test with that submarine’s tech to fly under everyone’s radar. But doing so entity’s original source code is now is-in that vaults storage unit which can only be unlocked by that key.
I think this is the part everyone got wrong. Its not the Russians who created entity and entity’s original source code is in that vault by mistake as its the first place it attacked (which was done by that director who got killed by Gabriel).
Yeah it was the US. It starts with the Russian trope of them beating the US in tech. Then flips it to the US Trope
This is explained in the film. Who has it wrong?
I kept hearing audible gasps every time Hayley Atwell appeared on screen. I was glad I wasn't the only one.
marvel fanboys losing their shit
Wait why, causes she's perty? She is perty.
She was gorgeous in this
@@MrRashidTV There's that .... but there's also the possibility that she is just unbelievably drop-dead gorgeous lol
For real? I mean Hayley is very attractive, obviously, but I think Rebecca Ferguson is way more gorgeous, imho. And Pom Klementieff was hot af, as always. Hayley is really pretty, but not "audible gasp" pretty.
I only audibly gasped at Rebecca Ferguson in that yellow dress two movies ago (good lord).
I think it's good to nite that the Russian captain was played by Tomasz Kot, Polish actor
My bridge inspector mom was very disappointed that once again the bridge got blown up
The fact that they established that IMF recruitment as The Choice actually made me think the "your mission, should you *choose* to accept it" is meant to be understood as them choosing to do the mission or go to jail like they would have been if they declined The Choice... Makes sense?
U missed kitridge saying his same line from mission 1
“ not him the other one “ !
I surprised you didn't mention the heavy video game influences this movie had. The whole entity being made by the government and becoming sentient is basically metal gear solid 2 and the train falling sequence was obviously uncharted.
I’m pretty sure Uncharted took notes on Jurassic Park 2, when the bus is falling (if I recall), basically most things is taken from somewhere, it depends how it’s been executed. MI7 did a pretty good job at that.
Also the entity idea is very much like the original Japanese anime “ghost in the shell”.
I was actually kinda anxious over seeing a deaged Tom Cruise in the Esai Morales flashback
The captain is in fact a Polish actor Marcin Dorocinski, he is a very talented and succesful actor in Poland, he also played Vasily Borgov, Beth's russian opponent.
I also noticed that, and the fact that the opening scene had a brief shot of a chess board. Probably meant nothing, but it was kinda cool
@@evaniar6502 you're right, maybe it is another easter egg 😀
killing ilsa took like 3 points off this movie for me. her chemistry with cruise is great 7/10
hopefully its a fakeout
@marlonorellana9302 - I agrée.
I'm so upset there was never a point in the movie for Cary Elwes to say "As you wish" i feel like there was a couple opportunities given there's no copyright or anything of the sort.
Having a hard time deciding who was the Prettiest woman in this movie Vanessa kirby or Hayley Atwell, Pom and Rebecca were stunning and were eye candy just watching on the big screen in IMAX and Vanessa really stole the scenes at the club. I hope that we get more of her in part 2 considering she doesn’t know Ethan’s real name. What i love about the last 3 movies is how they do the female lead characters and make them badass, and how tom and mcquarrie put them in the front whenever they appear. Badass
Hayleys face and eyes with Vanessa’s hair.
@@Izzybellebelle i like Vanessa’s face. Very intimidating, hayley’s is the perfect come catch me (i got tricks up my sleeve” face, both very attractive and badass
@@natechenry b ur when you put them both together…👩🍳😘
9:58 Did you notice that baby carriage in peril on the steps was a reference to the early film Battleship Potemkin.
The vampire reference could also be Cruise as Lestat in Interview With the Vampire....
need more comments pointing out that Paris had a pulse.
3:24 that's so cool 😅😅😅 she actually looks more badass than ever
Fallout was better but this was amazing….also pissed Ilsa died
