The trick to watching this movie is to somehow toughen yourself up to suffer the first 40-50 minutes. That is until the scene where Tom hands himself over to the authorities. Because the movie picks up after that and it finally feels like a Mission Impossible movie. Before that its just nostalgia land and tonnes of exposition and constant repetition of dialogues.

This movie suffered development hell due to COVID and constant strikes. I wish they had tried to fix the first hour of the movie instead of just splicing scenes together. People are blaming McQuarrie, calling him a terrible director while forgetting he gave us Rogue Nation, Fallout, and Dead Reckoning.

Things are not looking good coz it looks like we already have a digital release date for it - August 19, 2025.
 
This is probably the last week that this movie will be available on IMAX. Catch it before it disappears to a normal-sized experience. It may not be the best MI movie, but it is still a lot of fun. The second half of the movie is insane.
