Only one team can save the world when a new unexplainable threat reveals itself. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is still living secretly, but he soon receives his latest mission via an analogue recording. However, this time, the mission is different. The threat that Ethan and the IMF must stop is unlike anything he has ever experienced- it’s more significant, more extensive and smarter. The threat is always one step ahead of Ethan, and those he cares for the most are now in grave danger. On top of this, an element of Ethan’s past has resurfaced, and he is forced to look back at a time long before he joined the IMF. We soon learn that Ethan’s past contains an aspect of tragedy and an old enemy who has now resurfaced. Ethan assembles the team of the only people he can trust to, once again, tackle a mission that seems impossible. Entering what is now the seventh film in the series, I’m proud to say the film builds on previous instalments and injects a new level into the storyline, character development, and, most importantly, action. At various points, Ethan is tested while carrying a thirst for revenge and a determination to save the world while protecting his fellow team members. The action sequences here are downright epic and wild. Action scenes involving cars, motorbikes and trains will have audiences in awe at the level of stunts and on-screen entertainment. Continuing longer than expected and then in previous films, the action scenes are easily the film’s biggest highlights. Each action sequence brings an aspect of unpredictability, comedy, and amazement. As for the plot, the storyline and the threat are different and highly enjoyable. New characters who are pleasant and blend in wonderfully with our leading heroes are introduced. In fact, they fit so well that it feels as though they have been part of the team the entire time, particularly actress Hayley Atwell as Grace, whom I found elevated the film significantly. Director Christopher McQuarrie, again, is praised for his work here, and the visuals are tremendous. Overall, as a seventh instalment, Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One provides another worthy instalment heightened by action, comedy, characters, and an exciting and unexpected storyline. The action, once again like the past films, filled me with amazement. The leading performance from Tom Cruise as Ethan is excellent and enjoyable, and the new characters who enter this story are well cast and highly likeable. While the storyline itself is new and exciting, and the lengthy runtime isn’t noticeable, I can’t deny that some moments could have been more straightforward, particularly relating to the deadly threat and areas of technology. No matter, it’s still a joyous film in every way possible. * This review has been written for Sanity.

Not a bad show. More of a comedy than a serious movie. Still the stunts were very good.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One is another impossible situation with Ethan Hunt and his IMF team who must track down a dangerous weapon before it falls into the wrong hands. I thought this was a fantastic follow up to what I think is the best in the series Fallout with another ripping yarn that really puts Tom in another semmingly impossible situation. I thought all the actors bring there A game especially Tom who proves again he is an absolute superstar. Some of the action scenes in this entry are easily the best in the series. Heaps of fun 8.5/10
