McQuarrie | 2025 | USA | IMAX

Somehow both too much and too little. Breathlessly (and repeatedly) tries to inject meaning into things you will never care about even as it ignores things you’d desperately like to know more about. The stunts were great, as always, and I do enjoy Ethan Hunt vs The Entity as a parable for Tom Cruise (practical filmmaker) vs AI [in moviemaking] but even that high-minded interpretation is “too much” for a movie that should, above all, be something this rarely manages to be: fun.
