Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, formerly known as Dead Reckoning Part Two (and possibly Three as it runs almost three hours) opens with a catchup, has another catchup later, brings back some deeeeeeeeep cuts some to basically no effect, and could easily have been trimmed by half an hour.

But it’s certainly good value for money in IMAX, and two of the three climactic conflicts worked for me, unfortunately just not the big one.

Our Alert Status 1 team now has an Assassin and a 9 agent as well as the already established Les Fantômes member.

(Hayley Atwell doesn’t get nearly enough to do in all this, though she does get to be the normal-ish person in this world of mad spies. Pom Klementieff does get the best line)

The world being threatened by post-truth internet bullshit is... damn it, reality, stop that.

I laughed out loud at one surprise at the end.

Decent closure for Dead Reckoning, maybe less so the series as a whole if this is as Final as it says. III and Fallout are still my favourites overall.
