It's been a while since I've watched a blockbuster this bad. Cruise seems to be banking on oldskool action appeal, the result is that the newest Mission: Impossible film feels like a cheesy relic of the past. Its worst offense is that it takes itself way too seriously, even though it's clearly all nonsense.
A new AI superweapon goes missing, the key to the AI is literally a key that is split into two parts. Everyone is after the little trinket, as it will grant the owner unimaginable power. And so various people are trying to outwit each other, with Ethan Hunt and his gang thrown into the mix.
The stunts are rather dull, Cruise is an absolute eyesore, the music is ridiculous, and the 2+ hour runtime is a big mistake. But what did you expect from a film that starts on a Russian sub, with the first line morphing from actual Russian to English spoken with a thick Russian accent? Not my cup of tea, I'm disappointed there will be a second part.
