A great time for old people and iPad kids.
The movie would be 2 hours long if they cut all the pointless exposition and reminders for the audience of things they already know. I know the bad guy has the doohickey on a necklace. Stop showing me that the bad guy has the doohickey on a necklace. I got it. Yes, I remember the submarine. And some dudes died on the submarine. Very cool. Stop. Showing. Me.
Also there's suspension of disbelief and then there's surviving a 500ft + assent with no gear in arctic waters then being resuscitated in a Kmart decompression chamber, with no side effects mind you.
Also the whole movie could've been avoided if they just...did nothing? They make a point that the AI wants to hide in the super secret mega archive but it can't get in unless someone lets it in so just...don't?
It's always fun watching the stunts and schemes in these movies but there's barely any conflict or problem-solving in this "finale". Everything just kinda works out with little-to-no pushback. Some bad guys might show up but they die pretty quickly. And easily. With stuff that barely scratches the main characters.
Also the main "antagonist". Not sure what we're doing there. He just shows up in these last two films after being non-existent for most of the franchise, acting like he's this cool arch-nemesis, kills 2 supporting cast members and then he's...there...and then he dies comically...and that's that. Okay.
Slightly convinced the script was written by AI. Tom Cruise runs a couple times. I liked that.
If this is the last one it's a damn shame. Fallout is waaayyyy better and would've been a fine finale.
