Cue the theme music. While we were told that the whole film was naturally not shot for IMAX, the scenes we were shown seem to be have been born for this size screen.
Here the stakes are a little higher, with sever hundred feet worth of splattering await one slip up. Indeed, he is given more one-liners and things to do in this one scene than all of Mission: Impossible 3.
We were given less context for the second scene, but little was needed: Hunt chasing down a target on foot in a sandstorm, followed by one of the most original car chases in recent history. Once again, the action fills the screen in a fluid scene that uses the mass of swirling sand to disorient the viewer.
It is amazing in a year where we have seen giant robots fighting each other and airships with machine gun canons, that the simplicity of running and driving can still pack such a punch. These may have been two of the more sweat-inducing scenes in the film, and we will naturally wait until we have seen the full movie before we make any grand declarations on the film itself.
We need to thank Paramount for inviting us to this special screening, and we look forward to bringing you more on the film as it is released. Jim Phelps Jon Voight was sent to Prague for a mission to prevent the theft of classified material. Unfortunately, something went horribly wrong and the mission failed, leaving Ethan Hunt the seemingly lone survivor. After he reported the failed mission, Kittridge Henry Czerny , the head of the agency, suspects Ethan of being the culprit for the failed mission.
Now, Ethan uses unorthodox methods which includes the aid of an arms dealer going by the name "Max" Vanessa Redgrave to try to find who set him up and to clear his name. Only the mission matters. Rated PG for some intense action violence. Did you know Edit. Trivia While filming the famous scene where Tom Cruise drops from the ceiling and hovers inches above the ground, Cruise's head kept hitting the floor until he got the idea to put coins in his shoes for balance.
Goofs Although some would consider a computer room equipped with the three high-tech security systems, meant to prevent any intrusion, as missing the "most basic security measure" of video surveillance, video surveillance is often not permitted in highly classified areas where there is a risk that unauthorized personnel - such as the security personnel - may see the material.
The security personnel may theoretically be cleared for that classification but they would not have a "need to know" the information contained within AND video surveillance visible in another area would defy the measures taken to keep the information in a secure room. Crazy credits The opening credits contain several plot points from the movie. Alternate versions The in-joke where Tom Cruise goes online with his laptop by typing in, not Usenet, but Crusenet, has been changed in the US DVD versions to where he types "internet access.
User reviews Review. Top review. Every now and again, you will come upon a film that you know really isn't the best movie in the world, or even a particularly good movie on its own.
And yet, despite its glaring flaws and imperfectness and lack of completion, you do find yourself strangely attached to it because it has a charm to itself that keeps you interested. Call it a guilty pleasure. Mission: Impossible is my guilty pleasure. It's based on a s television series created by Bruce Geller and the movie with Tom Cruise is kind of like a mash-up between The Bourne Identity and the James Bond pictures.
Basically, the standard spy movie. Tom Cruise plays a spy who is falsely accused of betrayal to his organization and finds himself working with some unlikely partners to track down the real mole in the system and expose him and clear his name. Now, this is a plot as old as the hills and Mission: Impossible works with it just as well as the others. Not enormously well, but on an acceptable level.
Tom Cruise is great as the film's action hero lead, unfortunately his supporting cast is quite uninteresting. Another defect worth noting is the film's convoluted plot, which sometimes is hard to follow. This is caused by a screenplay in need of revisions.
That's one of the film's major weaknesses and really the reason why it's just a standard spy movie with lots of cool gadgets instead of something special. But that's really my only significant complaint about Mission: Impossible. Those rather small, unimportant defects left aside, and leaving the movie to its own devices, it works out well especially in its action sequences. Again, it's all been done before, sometimes better sometimes worse, but that doesn't meant it's boring or overdrawn.
In fact, sometimes it's very primal. There is one scene in particular that I found intense and suspenseful on a hair-raising level.
The scene goes on for an unremittingly long time, keeping us on the edges of our seats, and the best thing of all is that it's silent. I only wish the rest of the movie was like this scene. Then it really would have been special. Nevertheless, De Palma's Mission: Impossible works out well for what it is and unless you're not a fan of the standard spy movies or action pictures in particular, of if you have your standards and hopes up too high, I imagine you will enjoy it.
Again, it is kind of a guilty pleasure, but hey, it was a lot of fun. TheUnknown Dec 13, FAQ What is "Mission: Impossible" about? Is 'Mission: Impossible' based on a book?
