Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning is Not Very Good 

Mission Impossible : RU-vid Copyright

If the bad guys need both keys to enact the evil plan, why not just destroy one key when you are in possession of it?

Grace’s and Elsa’s decision to fight Gabriel was the part where I broke up with this film. What a waste. Her failure to use a sword with its full length, all the spins and getting as close as possible was just so unbelievable.

Additionally with the bodies, they would not float. They do this once the bacteria in the gut produces enough gas to raise the corpse. This happens over time not immediately. As well, in extremely cold water the bacteria cannot reproduce and make the needed gas, example would be lake superior in north America, they wrote a song about it for the sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald

A dual custody lock is primarily secured by needing both the XO's and captain's keys to operate, and not the added difficulty of needing literally any co-conspirator to operate the second key out of arm's reach after you steal the second key. That part is fine. What is dumb is that a split key requires the XO to forfeit custody of their key half to the captain (or vice versa) to open the door, instead of just having two tumblers side by side. This creates an opportunity for the captain to return a fake key, keeping both halves for himself without the XO's knowledge. Also: it's a really dumb mistake for the prop to have four identical bittings on the key. It removes the problem of the cruciform split key having eight different orientations, seven of which might be incorrect, but it also means you can use the captain's key to create a forgery of the XO's key or vice versa, defeating the whole point of a dual custody lock.

My biggest problem with it is that they killed off Ferguson who has charisma up the wazoo to replace her with whatsherface with zero charisma

The fact they recruite Grace, such an awefull person, is the biggest farce of the movie. She pretty much just replaces Ilsa as Ethans new love interest/ woman to protect.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout is my favourite movie of all time. I adore that movie and know it like the back of my hand. Dead Reckoning is the most disappointed I have ever been after walking out of a theatre. It is an abysmal sequel in almost every conceivable way. Not only is it worse than Fallout, it is antithetical to it. Quite frankly it disrespects so much of what Fallout exceptional. This is a hot take (and it really shouldn't be)... it's the TLJ of the MI series. Tom Cruise and Christopher seem like they mean well. But they did not make this movie for MI fans. At least definitely not for Fallout fans. Side note: Fallout is the best MI. And it's not close. It's substantially better than the rest.

Making Ethan Hunt's most repeatedly impactful skill being street magic was an interesting creative decision.

I think you may have missed a key bit of info. The Entity that's on the Sevastopol is an early form and the source code of it. It's later stated that they need to get the source code to combat the 'evolved' form of the Entity that is now on the internet. Presumably it sunk the Sevastopol to hide its own source code since it wasn't connected to the internet and that would be its only weakness.

One of the things that came to my mind most often during the movie was "Ok, that's enough." It felt like they couldn't get enough of their own scenes and just kept going. The car chase is the most vivid in my memory, because it went from: "that's kinda funny," through: "This is sorta unusual" and "I don't buy this anymore," to "please fucking end already." Not even Hayley Atwell's involvement, which shuts down my rational thinking and activates the most primal parts of my brain, could distract me from how awful it was.

As a nuclear materials engineer, the idea that in Fallout a large sphere of plutonium is just sort of carted around in a briefcase is…special. Haven’t seen the movie, though, so I can’t really judge.

It really felt like Ilsa was going to join the team after Fallout which I would’ve loved. She had an extremely strong character and was phenomenal with the group. Honestly the most upset I was at the film was how it discarded her and all her potential 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hell yes another hour long video from one of my favorite channels. thank you for making my day that much brighter random.

In anticipation of this movie, I rewatch Fallout since that was a banger. I then watched this movie. I liked the Russian submarine scene, then the movie happened…. Glad I didn’t watch it in the cinema, but I still feel ripped of.

Chris McQuarrie and Tom Cruise kept striking lightning with Rogue Nation and Fallout, with the 'planning the stunts first and doing the story behind it'. What's even more impressive is that Fallout was written solely by Chris McQuarrie. But the third time, they messed up so bad, its like taking several wires and tangling them all over and just leaving it there, waiting for it to be untangled in the eighth untitled Mission Impossible film.

The only thing that could make sense is that the Entity is actually *trying* to get Ethan to find it and have both keys. It is actually the good guy and trying to get the *one* guy who will destroy, rather than using it to take over the world, to do so.

It was such a bad idea to do the all-seeing AI. It immediately takes me out because it makes the story impossible to believe. It's the Ultron problem. You've created something so powerful that it can not be beaten yet somehow will be beaten. Honestly, in hindsight, they should've kept John Lark alive. If they insisted on doing the evil AI, they could've used a character that we actually know to be the face of the AI instead of just making someone up with a completely new backstory to Ethan.

I'll watch this while running on my treadmill.

The cut to, 'A Fish Named Wanda' shows just how well you understand film. 👏👏

I was disappointed with this movie. Hopefully they stick the landing with the finale next year, although they’re unfortunately stuck with the Entity and the story

Really love the fresh memes. Your vids never feel tired or predictable. Also, good topic choice, mixing it up.

Sounds to me like someone read the cliffnotes on "Person of Interest" and huffed on the glue they used to paste this movie's script together.

20:36 That isn't how data works... I somewhat disagree here. Langauges like C+ are compiled into a machine code for a specific processor. This is important because each processor has different calls or functions built into it. For example 1 CPU might have "add", "minus", "times", "divide", but newer CPUs might have "power", "square root". When compiling you have to tell the compiler what processor you are making it for. It will translation C++ (or whatever language) into that machine code for that processor. If possible it will take advantage of any special calls or functions that it can. This is important because many processors have multiple chips that do different things. Some even have chips exclusively for AI, so if the code is designed to take advantage of these chips, it might not work on other CPUs. Additionally even if it did work... the AI would need the binaries to recompile it for different CPUs. It could try and recreate them based on the files it has, but without the original binaries, this could be impossible depending on the code base. Then even if it can get around all of that... AI is extremely processor intensive. You can't just slap Barlders Gate 3 on a 1995 Dell even if it was compatible. It could take days to do process the same thing a super computer might do in seconds. All this being said... the people who designed the AI should still have a copy of the code and model for it, so it isn't like it's completely lost. You wouldn't put your one and only copy on the ship.

Nice to know I wasn't alone in instantly putting this film in the "forgettable" box, which is a damn shame considering the three films preceding it were outstanding.

Oh boy, I'd been waiting for someone to rip this movie apart. This was a great breakdown of a garbage movie. And my favorite part: there are things Random didn't even mention that make no sense, such as: characters continually finishing each other's sentences, almost like they're reading from a script; Grace becoming the Flash to take off her side of the handcuffs after the car chase; or alternatively, the COAL POWERED TRAIN continually gaining speed after Gabriel kills everyone running it. This movie is a disaster.

Gabriel tells everyone he will get both keys tomorrow in the orient express, and widow still proceeds to hold the meeting in the orient express, where the evil dude said he will be at.

40:19 The writers missed a perfect opportunity to have the questions be like: "What is your mother's maiden name?" "What is the name of your first pet?" "What is your favorite color?" "What is your social security number?"

A shame too, since MI:Fallout is one of the best action movies ever made

I recently found your channel, and over the last while gotten through most of your videos. Your naturally very funny, entertaining, easy to follow and clearly knowledgeable. Great voice for reviewing.... Keep it up, whenever i see a notification now your pretty much in my top 3 reviewer go tos. You put alot of work in and it shows . 👍

It would have been easier for The Entity to copyright Gabriel's face and shut-down the airport's security camera stream for policy violations.

Fair Use Wheelie Boy was the hero. Second only to Random's amazing edits, of course. :)

The Bigotcopter got me...

Great fun to listen to this, and thank you for watching this movie so I won’t have to! Sidebar. Half the time you mentioned “Fallout” my brain assumed that you were for some reason suddenly talking about the computer game franchise or the Amazon show based on the games. Then it had to remind itself that “no, Random is referring to that other Mission Impossible film you also haven’t seen yet”. Cheers

I think my biggest issue with this film is that it just became the Tom Cruise show. Part of the fun of the MI franchise was watching the team play off of each other as they tried to get out of each situation. In Dead Reckoning you only get that in glimpses (e.g. the airport sequence) but for the most part, it’s just Cruise pulling off everything by himself without a hitch.

Best Boromir reference EVER!!!

So... I either have to believe this was written by A.I., which might explain why the A.I. in the movie didn't go skynet, or that it was written by writers who possibly went on strike so that A.I. wouldn't write scripts like this... ugh. 😒 love your deconstructions! 🖤🖤🖤

What if the Entity _wants_ you to believe this movie is shit?

I just realized I watched, and immensely enjoyed, all your videos and haven't subscribed yet. New sub! I loved your Hobbit series. I watch it to fall asleep many times. Your voice is so calming and you're hilarious, it's perfect.

Great video. I knew Dead Reckoning wasn't great but my goodness the film is convoluted. It's like the team wanted to replicate Fallout but did everything worse. I get the pandemic definitely affected them but there's no excuse having an AI entity that's so powerful and then conveniently ignoring its abilities to push the plot. I tell aspiring writers, please whenever you define capabilities, big or small, be consistent with them. If the capabilities are such that they interfere with the plot, then you have TWO choices. Either, rewrite the scene or beat in a way that incorporates those powerful elements OR you revise that capability and make it less powerful. Because while some folks will say "WeLL iT's aN AcTiOn MoIViE." folks like myself like it when action films actually have a bit of substance with the spectacle and things make sense. No matter how insane the stunts get. All in all, I am really curious to see how the next one will pan out given it underperformed.

In this context, I think the AI is suicidal.

19:57 I don’t like the script, but I think the Entity that acts as the antagonist in the film is not on Sevastopol, but is just distributed within the Internet and migrates frequently. On Sevastopol there is an earlier, pre-sentient copy of the Entity, or its source code (as it’s said in the movie), or its machine code (probably what they meant), that was uploaded to the sub within a specific mission. So it was a copy uploaded to the Sevastopol, not the original. Original remained “on surface”, so to speak. Later, the original Entity stumbled upon Saudi Arabia AI and merged with it, achieving sentience and its current capabilities, and all earlier versions and fragments are inferior (but can be used to disarm it), so that answers the question of why don’t make a copy. The antagonist Entity version is unique, at large and was created in an accident.

As a followup to Fallout, perhaps one of the greatest action films of all time, I expected even bigger and better stunts/set pieces. The only set piece in Dead Reckoning that even came close and that the entire film built toward was the motorcycle cliff jump which was then immediately ruined by the ridiculousness of Cruise comically flying through the exact window he needed to save his teammate.

In today’s films we have the problem that the best films are often only mediocre. We are already grateful that a film is something above the average. So far, our claim has fallen. I was really pissed that they killed Fergusons character.

The retcon BS that every IMF agent is now a criminal recruited to avoid prison was _DUMB!_ SERIOUSLY?! Made no damn sense and ruined the concept as well as the characters. The other thing was making Haley Atwell an annoying puke. She's told numerous times she is literally in over her head and repeatedly has to be rescued by TC only to run away and get into ANOTHER situation she has to be rescued from, then makes a pitch to Kittridge to join the IMF instead of going to prison. Her entire character arc proved she is untrustworthy, yet I have no doubt we'll see her as an agent in Part 2 and probably even more insufferable. And the worst insult of all was killing off Rebecca Ferguson in a completely useless way. Replacing a popular character everyone liked with the Annoying Peggy Carter Clone was unforgivable. For me, Shea Whigam's character was the best part of the movie, and I hope he has a bigger role in Part 2. Plus, TC's behind the scenes COOF rant hitting the internet didn't help.

What a random film for him to talk about Oh wait

“Wanna go watch Mission Impossible?” “Meh, nah.” “Wanna watch RFT review of Mission Impossible?” “Lemme grab some popcorn.”

Mom! Mom! Get the camera! Random just uploaded.

43:06 i really love how the way you edited the background footage suggest that ethan just take planes like that on the regular, its just his perfered way of flying even without any action scenes

The Adeptus Mechanicus reference took me off guard. You are my friend Rando.

A TF2 clip was one of the last things I expected to see in a RFT video.

Whenever I think about top-notch 2010's action movies, I think of Hardcore Henry, Mad Max Fury Road, The Raid 1 and 2, The Night Comes for Us, The Yellow Sea, The Man from Nowhere, The Villainess, John Wick 1 and 2, Captain America Winter Soldier, Avengers Infinity War, Drive, and Mission Impossible Fallout. Despite it not being a decade that is known for being heavy on action movie releases like the 1980's and 2000's were, some of the best action movies of all time came out in the 2010's. Mission Impossible Fallout is among the best and most notable of them. Some truly exceptional and mind-blowing stunt work. I mean, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One wasn't boring, at least, unlike Rings of Power or Star Wars Rise of Skywalker. I had a great time watching it in the theatre, I wasn't following the story because I am not that great at following the story and movies that are story focused rather than character focused, action focused, or focused on being shocking, taboo, disturbing, depraved, or having creative deaths or kills in it aren't really something I am great at handling well, I guess I have patience but not a good attention span otherwise. Like, for example, when watching 12 Angry Men, when I'm watching it, I'm not following why he might be innocent, I'm just accepting the fact there is reasonable doubt and enjoying the characters and their gradual making of the decision to vote not guilty. I would make for an awful cop. If a plot inconsistency is so blindingly glaring that even I notice it, then it must be particularly shockingly bad. Like, even I was, when watching Rise of Skywalker, like, "Why the hell did they just fall down a hole and find the Maguffin randomly? How the hell does this blade know where the death star landed? It wasn't preordaned, the thing could've landed literally anywhere. How did Rey or the people that made the blade know where to stand, the precise angle down to the millionth of a degree, for the thing to work? What do you mean, "they fly now?" Why is it surprising they got jetpacks? It's a science fantasy setting with star ships. Why did they pretend that C3PO and Chewbacca were gonna die and then immediately say, nah, psyche? That's incredibly cheap..." Mission Impossible movies have plots that are too convoluted for me to follow, I'm just there for the stunts, I don't care about the story, I'm just watching this video for the entertainment value, not because I actually care about the stories of the Mission Impossible movies.

Thank you for making this comprehensive video. The EFAP boys did a good job breaking down this movie but dropped the ball massively when it came to Grace's character. Grace is an awful person but I think a lot of people feel sympathy for her because Hayley Atwell is hot.

Black Dynamite clip recognized, video GOATed

Mainly I remember the frequent pauses throughout the film to offer a further description or explanation of the Entity, which suggested a lack of confidence on the part of the filmmakers.

Had no idea others felt the same about this film. I thought it was just me getting old or something - but nah. Was just bored. Hopefully they wrap it up nicely. The franchise deserves a good send off.

You know, from a lock security perspective the key might actually be an interesting idea. Imagine you need to insert the first half, turn the tumbler 90° then insert the second half. This design would require the pins of the first set to be constantly engaged while being (near) impossible to be manipulated by an attacker. It still does nothing to prevent one malicious actor to use both keys themselves, but in a different setting that lock might've been an interesting gimmick to secure a mission critical item in the hands of the big boss and one of their trusted lieutenants.

if you have an entity that has access to all devices and also wants to stay hidden, sometimes. Why not utilise something like the Mandela effect as things that the entity has its hand in and covers up but due to only being able to change digital things, peoples memories don't always line up with the record.

To defend them, they could have planes for other locations in Italy or Europe. Most European capitals are around 1-2 hours distance from Rome by plane

15:55 I just like how they seem to have a graphic of BOTH keys for their little presentation... but don't think to, I dunno, MAKE the key from that? Is it mentioned anywhere that the key is made from NearlyImpossibleUnobtainium? Or has any extra level of importance built into it?

Another excellent video as always. The lack of views on your videos are truly a tragedy of the algorithm (but god forbid we get critiques about the actual logic and story telling of a film when what the people REALLY want are 20 different videos about how your favorite films are actually secretly racist and support hitler).

Comparing the absolutely 0-dimensional villain of dead reckoning to shadow the hedgehog, a cartoon character for children, is unfair to shadow the hedgehog, and I'm being dead serious.

Nicely done as always Rando! Also, I love that you keep changing outfit depending on which franchise you are covering : D Keep up the good work! \o/

I feel bad that I felt underwhelmed watching Cruise's motorcycle stunt off the cliff. The behind the scenes stuffon it was amazing. I couldn't wait to see it on the big screen but when I actually saw stunt it did nothing for me. Maybe it was the slow build up or when he was talking to Benji about the dangers of the jump making it way too meta.

I want these movies to keep being successful, but not at the expense of the writing. It really kinda bummed me out to see so many people saying this was even better than Fallout, or that it was just "more of the same, if you liked the last you'll like this one". I guess a lot of people really do just watch them for the action.

I don’t hear many MI fans mention this, but does nobody realize that Grace is literally a ripoff of the character Nyah from Mission Impossible 2? As both are supposed to be pick pocket thieves with that whole “mystery behind them”. Now while I do think Grace is a slight bit better than Nyah, it does irk me to why they didn’t just bring Nyah back as she has far more of a relationship with Ethan and will probably make more sense to be involved in something like this instead of creating some new lead who Ethan hasn’t ever been affiliated with. In fact, where was Zhen Lei or Jane when Ethan needed them? If anything, I’d rather prefer the creators bring any of the old female characters, even Nyah (but give her some actual development this time), instead of creating new ones that make the story feel more contrived to why Ethan would have them stick around with him.

Watching your videos made me realise: I could enjoy and understand good movies so much more if i just poay attention to the writers intentions, and on the flip side, I canunderstand WHY I dont like the movies that I dont like, and voice them to others. For example, I was telling my friend that I dont like the barbie movie because it was too political, but now i realise it it not only that it is political, it is because it is poorly written! I knew this all along yet i did not realise until i thought about it harder. Thank you for making me look deeper into the films i watch, it greatly enhances the experience.

Great video, good sir. My hate for this film just keeps getting stronger the more I think about it. I was so unbelievably pissed in the cinema when they did Ilsa like that.

The following is just meant as a neat bit of info and not a defense of the film (since I am sure they did not consider that). There is actually a very real and simple explanation on why the entity could only exist physically in one location. It is essentially a AI which in real world equivalent would be comparable to a transformer based LLM. Currently there are efforts in processs to produce specialized chipsets which do not feauture the typical/standardized CPU/GPU layout and architecture but are specially designed to reproduce tranformer based algorythms in hardware as well. Essentially tailor made AI chipsets. These could vastly increase the actualy speed and compute of LLMs running on it. So it kind of makes sense that the chipset the AI is running on is a one of a kind object and the entity would not be as capable when running on different hardware.

Another Awesome Video Breakdown! Love your Content! I listen to your Rings of Power and Hobbit series a lot! I work 3rd shift and those playlists get me through my night with many Laughs!

As a former navy sub guy there ARE some protocols for getting out of subs in certain situations at certain depths it's actually part of submarine school. That said I don't disagree that it's pretty convenient the guys that had the key were so easily found

Not what I expected…but I’m always looking forward to your vids!

The only good thing to come out of Dead Reckoning is this review and you reminded me how awesome Kung Fury is. Now if you excuse me I am going to rewatch it, least that movie makes sense...

The content, the editing, your voice and diction, everything is excellent! Thank you so much!

I haven't watched any films of this series, I don't understand why International Money Fund hires spies and at this point I am too afraid to ask.

I said it on the last video, but I'll say it again. Everytime I see your "face" I'm reminded that Disney is inevitably going to try to make a live action remake of emperors new groove with culturally appropriate casting. Hopefully Disney hates that movie so much they won't bother, but they were willing to remake Pete's fucking dragon so..

I’m pleased you did a video on this film. Watching it, I thought it was horrible, but the reviews said it was good. Glad a trusted source confirms it was awful

One of the things that kept me from enjoying MI: Fallout is the chase in Paris. Ethan impossibly jump around Paris and the editing makes no sense.

This is the longest film review I've ever watched - and I enjoyed every minute. How could the writers and producers create such an illogical, implausible, and overly complicated mess? Maybe because for years action has taken precedence over the story in this franchise and it's made a lot of money. Once the antagonist is omnipotent, all suspense is contrived.

23:10 Hey, that's me! And yet, I still know I enjoy this youtube video more than the actual movie.

I love Random's take on things

I’ve agreed with your video’s thus far but MI: Fallout being good? It has somewhat logical movement from sequence to sequence, but it’s story isn’t much at all. This is a story where they escape the police, use some random garage to escape. There some bad guys show up who had been following them but suddenly knew the escape plan but showed up late. Cute cop woman who obviously wasn’t involved in chasing them down and the cops not really having a good description of who they were chasing somehow recognizes them but is injured by the bad guys. So now she is in danger of being killed. But we’ve already seen the “won’t let innocents die” stuff from Ethan so you hope that the threat of being at gunpoint without your hands on your own guns is real and that someone gets to talk them out of it, a great moment for someone else than Ethan to shine. But nope he just shoots them. Fallout is not very high on my list of MI movies. It’s much more focused on “ETHAN MUST LOOK COOL” than it is on telling an engaging narrative. And yes, there’s cool stuff. But if you are even going to redo narratives you’ve already established this movie again with random bad guys showing up, it can’t rate that high.

I love the Mission Impossible movies and so badly wanted to like this one and so many people I know really enjoyed this one so I felt like a cynic because I didn't really enjoy it. I didn't have my complaints nearly as well thought out as you, so this was a really fun video to watch. It's nice to know that I'm not crazy or being unnecessarily critical and there really was a LOT wrong with this movie. Unfortunately, since it's a Part 1, I don't know if there's much hope for the next movie.

33:00. That’s too funny. Totally caught me off guard

That alestorm reference caught me off guard, but I’m not complaining

I'm so glad you got the BS copyright issue out. I love how your brain works out how the characters are thinking, and should be acting. I cannot state this wholeheartedly enough, you're R alter-ego must be involved in every production studio. Someone needs to hire or contract you to read scripts and say why their project will fail. Love your videos. Always a great watch even if I have no interest in the mo ie or series

1:17:48 I would like to mention the difference between "sentient", "sapient", and "self-aware" - though I expect you are aware of this and just didn't mention it because it's a general problem, not one with this film in particular: "Sentience is the simplest or most primitive form of cognition, consisting of a conscious awareness of stimuli without association or interpretation. (...) In modern Western philosophy, sentience is the ability to experience sensations." (Wikipedia, which also says "Not to be confused with Sapience"^^) So, what they were saying, is that "The Entity has become able to experience sensations!" While quite the accomplishment, it doesn't really say anything else... Sapience, meanwhile: "Sapience ("sophia" in Greek) is "transcendent wisdom", "ultimate reality", or the ultimate truth of things. This more cosmic, "big picture" definition is often how wisdom ("true wisdom" or "Wisdom" with a capital W) is considered in a religious context." (Wiki) And what they usually actually seem to mean is Self-Awareness. Again, quoting the first lines of Wikipedia to this topic (which writers apparently neglect to check): "In philosophy of self, self-awareness is the experience of one's own personality or individuality. It is not to be confused with consciousness in the sense of qualia. While consciousness is being aware of one's body and environment, self-awareness is the recognition of that consciousness. Self-awareness is how an individual experiences and understands their own character, feelings, motives, and desires." This is what makes a "competent machine" into an agent, as far as I understand, because it means that it is aware of the fact that it is aware, and that it has goals, and this should automatically imply that it is capable of planning and goal-oriented action (though the reverse isn't true; self-awareness isn't a requirement for either planning nor goal-oriented action, afaik.)

Finally someone i can agree with. I dont get why this movie was hailed as a great film. Its boring, someone gets the key, its stolen, they steal it back, then its stolen, they steal it back again, then its stolen, tom cruise jumps off cliff with a bike, steal key back, its stolen again, cliff hanger. The end. Part 2

Well dressed Kronk, Hi!

I would like to thank you for this video. Being a very highly logical person... Watching this movie made me feel 2 things : 1 ) I am going incredibly stupid and my IQ is under 50 for not understanding where the plot is going. 2 ) I am going senile like some genocidal 81 years old president that should step down from the office. Yeah, now I get that I am sane and healthy too.

I agree with everything EXCEPT the fact that this film is worse than MI2 haha. I can’t stand MI2, and even MI3 is on thin ice since the shaky cam makes me nauseous. That being said, I honestly agree with everything you said and I was very disappointed in this movie. It suffers greatly from second part syndrome, and I think the reason Fallout didn’t suffer the same is because they weren’t supposed to make a continuation so they had to properly wrap up the first instalment. Grace honestly ruined so much for me. Completely unteustyworthy, and honestly entirely unlikeable as well. Hell, if they had’ve at least said she was trying to get the money for some good cause I could’ve forgiven it at least a little bit but nope, she’s willing to kill Ethan to get her way and led to the death of a far superior agent. Fantastic review, and though some might consider it nitpicking, honestly I don’t think it is. This Mission just wasn’t as quality as the previous were which is so odd considering the people they were working with. Honestly, they should’ve just kept the AI stuff out of it.

I haven't seen this movie! This review is hilarious!

Fuck, your script is on fire, my man! Not even 10 minutes in and I'm pissing myself :D

The entity OBVIOUSLY can't deal with Ethan because it can never ascertain if Ethan Have six or more fingers per hand, typical AI weakness.

Totally agree - there were some very cool moments, but Fallout is a tough act to follow. Hopefully part 2 is able to redeem itself. I will say, the motorcycle stunt was badass, it lives up to the standards of the series.

an all-powerful ai that doesn't harm humanity but does force the cia to go analog and spend all their time typewriting everything they know sounds like the good guy.

Never have I enjoyed a review more. Great job!

Nice breakdown, very clear and eloquent. When I watched this in the theater, I was thinking that the end was setting up The Entity driving over Benji with the car. When that didn't happen, I was confused, as I thought that was what the film was setting up. Maybe there were some rewrites?

I got hit by a car while listening to this at 5:45

wait, they want to TYPE OUT everything? Instead of PRINTING it? And actually trying to make hardcopies of not only Petabytes, but Millions and millions of petabyte of data???
