Goofs

The long single shot on the London roof including Hunt's famous jump: When Hunt runs along the long gangway on the roof, his complete body has no shadow at all (although it is a little cloudy, it is still daylight and 15:04 in the afternoon as the clocks of St Pauls showed before). Only a couple of seconds later in the same shot, when the camera moves behind him, we suddenly see several strong shadows (i.g. of several handrails) including Hunt's shadow on the right side. When Hunt finally jumps (still the same shot), we also see the strong shadows of pedestrians on the ground and again Hunt's shadow.

Ethan Hunt: I do.
Solomon Lane: To shield from terrors known and unknown, to lie, to deceive, to lead a double life, to fail to prevent her abduction, erase her identity, force her into hiding, take away all she has known...
Ethan Hunt: [turns to the priest] Stop.
Solomon Lane: ...in a selfish, futile, fleeting attempt...

User Reviews

And the award for the best action movie goes to...

Let's get straight to the point: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT justifies the need to watch action movies on the big screen. Every single action scene works, particularly the final one. Tom Cruise never disappoints when it comes to fighting, chasing and of course, running! He officially killed it in this movie!

It was a pleasure to see Henry Cavill join the show. All actors were impressive as well, but he was very effective throughout the movie.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT showcases a perfect blend of breathtaking action, eye-catching locations and exhilarating cinematography combined with suspenseful thrills. Even though the summer's come to an end, the film made me feel it just started!

I don't think just one viewing is going to satisfy me. Halfway through the film and I was thinking of a second watch. IMAX viewing totally justified.

When I watched the previous 3 MI movies back-to-back yesterday, I had no idea I'd be in a complete treat today! I knew FALLOUT would be great, but it just surprised and surpassed all my expectations!

I can talk about this movie all day. I love action movies and this is easily one of the best ones I've seen this year. Apart from entertainment, it also provides lessons on how to make action movies, efficiently. It couldn't have been any better than this. I would easily label this as my finest IMAX experience of an action blockbuster, ever.

In one word, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT is PERFECT. Recommended catching it on an IMAX screen.
