There is one less reason to like the "Mission Impossible" series

Although, another action blockbuster series "Fast and Furious" has been so pasted that my mother doesn't know it.

However, the "Mission Impossible" series is still one of Hollywood's top action movie series, and there is nothing to question for the time being.

Of course, the mainland box office performance of "Mission Impossible 7" is still not particularly good, but the overall performance of Hollywood blockbusters in the mainland this year is like this bird, and it is not a movie that "Mission Impossible 7" can influence.

At least, judging from the quality of the film, this "Mission Impossible 7" is still, yes.

Douban's current score is still 7.9 points, which can be regarded as carrying the first wave.

I believe that many friends are like me, and they really entered this series since "Mission Impossible 4". That one also brought more life to the series, making it a longevity series that can last to this day.

At least, from the perspective of action scenes, the "Mission Impossible" series still provides the top action scenes in Hollywood at the moment. Of course, this is also inseparable from director Christopher McQuarrie and Tom's crazy insistence on real shooting.

Tom, who is over sixty years old, seems to be the last conscience of Hollywood action blockbusters.

Today, when special effects and CG technology are so developed, he still insists on doing live-action shooting in a retro way.

The scene of cliff flying motorcycle is also one of the craziest scenes in the whole film

Of course, this traditional production method of anti-technology does bring more visual shock to the film, which is still impossible to bring about by current special effects technology.

Even if the special effects are already very realistic, only real is real.

As for the tidbits video of how "Mission Impossible 7" insists on real shooting, I believe you have seen a lot in the previous publicity period, including the fight on the train, and the final locomotive falling off the bridge.

To some extent, this also becomes an echo of the film and the plot itself.

Because, the theme of this story is the war between humans and computers. Ethan Hunt and his IMF team, this time against the self-aware artificial intelligence known as the "intellectual".

It just so happens that this year is the year of the AI explosion, various topics about AI, the popularity of chatgpt, but also caused the fear of AI in the industry and various calls for AI to be careful.

Therefore, the plot of this "Mission Impossible 7" is quite appropriate.

Moreover, the AI fear described in the film is not too novel. After all, there is such a high level of reliance on the Internet and smart devices. And the "Mission Impossible" series also happens to be a series that especially likes to show and use high-tech equipment, so it has finally been eaten back.

As a result, you find that all imaging equipment, communication equipment, and various digital products may be invaded, and what you see or hear may be fake.

In the description of the film: "The truth is blurring".

The way to fight against it is to completely abandon these high-tech methods and return to the original.

In fact, this is exactly the attitude that "Mission Impossible 7" insisted on during the production process, or this is the reason why this film wants to tell such a story of human-machine confrontation.

It is equivalent to saying that whether it is the plot or the filming process of the film, it is actually practicing the attitude of using people's own energy to fight against technology.

This can be regarded as the last insistence of the director and Tom.

And old-school stories like me naturally prefer this kind of more realistic film, and the real experience it brings has actually been felt in the film.

Anyway, to Tom, it will always be Ruisbai's, just, come on!

This time, "Mission Impossible 7" actually has many records.

For example, the production cost of this film is as high as 291 million US dollars, including marketing costs, it may be a more terrible number, which has also become the highest cost in the "Mission Impossible" series, and even, the highest cost in Tom's works.

Of course, such a high cost is not only the reason why the film itself loves to throw money, but also affected by the epidemic, which made the film stop shooting several times and remake several times, which wasted too much money during this period, and finally pushed the cost higher (just like "Indiana Jones 5", which also cost 300 million US dollars).

This also made the film originally planned to be the seventh and eighth films shot back-to-back, but due to cost and schedule reasons, it was decided to split the shooting. As a result, it caught up with the general strike of the screenwriters and actors union.

Therefore, this "Mission Impossible 8" does not know when it can be filmed, let alone when it can be released, does it mean that the cost will rise again.

Moreover, this film also has a record, that is, the film's 163-minute length has also become the longest in the series, successfully surpassing the 147-minute "Mission Impossible 6".

You see, this isn't the first time I've complained about the length of a Hollywood blockbuster.

And, it's really getting worse, or maybe Mission Impossible 8 will be longer!

Anyway, the current blockbuster is really unrestrained.

You don't know why they are so long, probably, just think, short sorry for the name of the blockbuster.

In this "Mission Impossible 7", there will also be a particularly obvious feeling, that is, the plot is repeatedly sawing, which has become a common problem in the current blockbuster, and there seems to be no inevitability, that is, it is making up the time, you rob me.

However, the previous airport scene is still one of the more outstanding in this film, the plot is advanced with multiple threads, both sides are full of dangers, and the tension is multiplied.

It was a very memorable scene.

After that, the street chase, in fact, is a little longer.

Because from the scene, this scene did not give everyone much novelty, in fact, it is still the old routine of the car chase scene, and, after so long, it is really a little impatient to see.

Or, the significance of the film in terms of plot is more important.

It is to let Tom Cruise and this newly added actress Hayley Atwell gradually establish emotions through such a tense action scene, which is convenient for the development of the relationship between the characters later.

Including, let Tom say the sentence afterward: "Your life will always be more important than my own."

Although I know that this sentence has other meanings, it is still not too acceptable that the relationship between the two has heated up so quickly.

Alas!

Skydiving, which was repeatedly mentioned during the promotion period, is indeed a crazy moment in this film.

To prepare for that scene, Tom Cruise and his team had previously done more than 500 jumps and more than 13,000 motocross jumps alone.

In the actual shooting of the day, a total of 6 shots were taken, that is, Tom Cruise jumped off the cliff 6 times on a motorcycle in one day, which is equivalent to destroying 6 motorcycles.

In addition, the film has another very wonderful moment, which is the final train paragraph, which is also repeatedly mentioned after watching the movie.

At the beginning, the chase and fight on the train were actually all real shots, and the main creator still hoped to bring more real feelings to the audience.

However, what is really more exciting is the part of the train falling off the bridge after that.

This scene was also filmed, and this steam locomotive really fell.

It is said that Tom also watched the filming of this scene on the spot, and it must be even more shocking to see it on the spot.

According to Vick, the scene is actually a tribute to Buster Keaton's "The General"

"The General"

And then the scene of the train car crashing section by section is also exciting. This section after section climbs, section after section drops, who can stand this!

Moreover, that scene is also a little controversial, I believe that many game audiences will feel that the scene is very similar to the game "Uncharted 2".

Bruce Straley, the producer of the Uncharted series, also tweeted about it.

However, "Mission Impossible 7" director Christopher McQuarry denied this claim in an interview.

He said he rarely played games, and the only game he played was Virtual Arena.

Anyway, they can fight over this matter casually.

But seeing this kind of scene on the big screen is still very exciting.

In the actor part, in addition to the new Hailey Artwell, another new actress Pon Clementev is also very bright, or rather, since the "Guardians of the Galaxy" period, I have liked her very much.

This time her look is also particularly handsome.

By the way, she signed two contracts with this series, so, in "Mission Impossible 8", she can also be seen.

It's just that from the fifth part, this series, my favorite actress, there is only one.

That's Rebecca Ferguson.

Well.
