Even if it is "new wine in old bottles", it is also a rare commercial sequel.

Why is this movie so rare?

First of all, it is 2D, I believe many people agree with it.

In fact, because the last Mission Impossible 5 has a global box office of nearly 700 million dollars, it is about 300 million more than the third, which is a big improvement. In the inherent model of major Hollywood studios, sequels tend to spend more money, use more stars, and shoot more big scenes, but "Disc 5" is just the opposite, this time the budget is 150 million dollars. , Only used 5 million more than the previous one. In addition to the big villain, the celebrity only focuses on six main characters. It can be described as a movie that "does subtraction all the way" on the card. On the scene, there is no visual wonder of "Disc 4" climbing the Burj Khalifa, without the high-tech interesting clips of the Krem Palace, only the opening scene of picking up a plane and interrupting the diving motorcycle chase, but it is more solid because of this.

Let me talk about the beginning of the plane picking up scene. This should be the only part of the film that is the same as the mission impossible movie that everyone expected. After all, the original Mission Impossible soundtrack is used, and the protagonists cooperate with each other. Come to complete the "impossible mission". However, this kind of Hollywood's most standard and most streamlined method-to bring the audience into the play with a wonderful beginning, I am worried about the development of the next plot, I am afraid that the movie will just go on like this.
However, I did not expect that in the various dark light and slow-paced narratives of the following London dramas, I felt a sense of retro, echoing the ending of the film, and also fitting the IMF team's big black style.

Then there is the highest level theater hunting scene. This section is very cleverly used in the soundtrack. Turandot’s performance music, the director did not want to use sound processing to reduce the sound of this piece of music, and directly used it as the soundtrack. It is the most ingenious method of "subtraction" in the movie. The sense of tension is no longer supported by the stereotyped thumping sound that has a strong Hollywood commercial smell. Therefore, the audio-visual spectacle of this segment and the Atango can only be quietly behind the scenes of the performance. "Handle" things very well, I believe this section will become a classic in film history.

Then there is the middle section where the excitement is not less than the beginning, diving-BMW chasing-motorcycle chasing, the three parts are very well put together, symbolizing that Tom is an unkillable Xiaoqiang. Many people think it is fake, but in fact, every A Tang brother's "resurrection", he was a little bit awkward, this is a very subtle detail, to rationalize these parts. In the diving scene, the director does not need a soundtrack, only the sound of the water flows to set off the plot. After all, the movie will still have to cut out other characters appropriately so that it will not appear monotonous. The BMW chase is even more exciting. In addition to the difficult and elegant techniques, many of the laughs in the film come from this section. And the motorcycle chasing scene is the most prominent feature of Tom’s "handsome". The most subtle is the way the heroine forces Tom to stop chasing. On the one hand, it shows the heroine’s cleverness and on the other hand. Brother Tom has "love" for this heroine.

Then comes the end of the "Syndicate". This episode consists of catching the British prime minister and confronting the bosses. Both parts have the highest wisdom of the Mission Impossible series. Thanks to the play of the script, the former has joking entertainment. (The image of a corrupt country’s gay guy has been blacked out again). Although the latter’s dark chasing scene has no new tricks, it is still quite satisfactory.

That's it for the plot. Now I want to talk about the role.

To make a statement in advance, I can count as a fan of Tom, as an actor. After all, this kind of self-positioning is very clear, and he is currently the only star in the world who defends the Hollywood movie made by superstars. It is in most movies. As the boss, most of the filming are action scenes. Every scene is in line with Jackie Chan, all kinds of tricks are used to make the movie look better. Imagine that if these difficult action scenes are used as substitutes, there will be a lot of close-ups and the plot will be a little less exciting.

But at this point, it must be mentioned that Brother Tom is really old, not to mention that his action scenes have increased or decreased. You can see that many scenes are deliberately reduced by the director. These difficulties do not refer to the degree of danger, but It refers to the actor's "vigorousness", which is obviously linked to the actor's physical fitness. This age is exactly the biggest element that determines this. At the time of this filming, Brother Tom was already 52 years old, and it was inevitable that the fighting scene would decline. But Brother Tom’s fans don’t need to worry. Even Uncle Mnison, who is in his 60s, is still insisting (but he won’t make an action movie soon). I believe Tom is still at least 7 or 8 years old.

Of course, what I have to say is the heroine Rebecca Ferguson this time. To be honest, I didn’t know her before, but the first time I saw her, I was attracted by her unique temperament. It’s really a bit Like Ingrid Bergman's. Of course, the most surprising thing was her age. She was born in the 80s. She is not too old, but she just thinks she is mature. There is no doubt that she will definitely be the most classic and the most successful "spy girl" in image shaping. In the previous Mission: Impossible series, there are often more than one female role, because some have to play the decent and some have to play the villain, but this time, in the subtractive "Disc 5", she directly gave the pros and the villains to one person. It just shows that the movie's plot reversal is a bit more complicated than usual spy movies. In addition to her skill (the scissor feet almost robbed Tom of the limelight), she was also very good in performance. Hesitation, panic, surprise, and fear were just right to interpret them with delicate expressions, especially the slight smile. , Has perfectly expressed his unique temperament, and I am optimistic that this guy will continue to make blockbuster movies in the future!

Then it must be Simon Peggy. I think the biggest bug in this movie lies in him. Of course, it’s not about his performance. His character creation is a bit contradictory. He is basically a super IT master. , But several of the sections were caused by his small mistakes, and even the last big move was made to save him. The director made Simon Peggy like a cumbersome, I think it is very unreasonable.

Then the other characters are quite satisfactory and there are no bright spots. Jeremy Renner feels that he is quite old. Zhang Jingchu has no expressions, and there are two lines of dialogue, but I guess there is nothing to remember that she appeared in the movie... ..

.................................................. .................................................. .......The


second brush is over. For pure commercial films, usually I will find more shortcomings in the second brush, but this one is just the opposite. I see many advantages. For example, the retro tone and atmosphere, and the sound processing of several key bridges are all excellent commercial films. Many people say that the film is divided into four sections (four locations), each representing the film’s tribute to the first four, so that this one is just new wine in old bottles, but I think it’s actually a rare experience to be able to play this way. "New gameplay".

In any case, although Hollywood is now a boring routine like the sequel No Limit, if the next "Mission Impossible 6" can play new tricks, I will definitely support it a few more times, just for the movie Continue to 2D!
