Do You Choose to Accept?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and
see Mission: Impossible-Fallout. As I sat back in my red-
cushioned seat, accompanied by my brothers, I knew I was in
for something special. The film takes place two years after two-
thousand fifteens hit movie, Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation.
While I had no clue what to expect, I knew I was going to be in
for an incredible ride as soon as the movie began with the
intense dialogue between Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and
Solomon Lane (Sean Harris). From beginning to end, Mission:
Impossible- Fallout delivers crazy action-thriller scenes,
inventive special effects, and creative cinematography.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout is based on a story of an American
agent who must retrieve nuclear weapons from an enemy
terrorist organization with help of his specialized IMF team.
The film was consistent the first hour with it involving the
audience in the mission of the secret organization and trying to
figure out the next move of the evil organization known as the
Apostles. However, towards the middle of the movie it was
revealed that one of the CIA agents was playing the role of a
double spy and was on the side of the Apostles. The plot
delivered intense action-packed scenes between the opposing
groups that personally had me at the edge of my seat. Whether it
was a chase on motorcycles, cars, speedboats, or helicopters,
each scene had Ethan Hunt running for his life to save the
world. Even though I was only viewing the movie from a
comfortable movie theater, Hunt zigzagging through the traffic
of France on a motorcycle had my fists clenched and adrenaline
pumping. However, that was not even the best thriller of the
movie. Ethan Hunt trailing Agent Walker in a helicopter with
heavy rounds of artillery being fired at each other through the
snowcapped mountains of Kashmir may very well be one of the

Fallout can be appreciated and enjoyed by all audiences because
of its action-packed scenes that keep everyone extremely
engaged in the plot.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout brilliantly illustrates the amazing
special effects that serve to create the theme and style of the
film. From creating bloody wounds to spectacular backgrounds,
special effects are abundant throughout the movie. For instance,
as Hunt is jumping off an airplane, the special effects of this
scene include wind, rain, thunder, and clouds that make the film
visually appealing and almost realistic. The thunder striking
him as he is skydiving had my jaw wide open simply because of
how incredible the illusion was displayed. In almost every fight
between Hunt’s team and the Apostles, multiple types of special
effects were utilized. Fighting sequences with Hunt angrily
running towards Lane and delivering devastating punches
accompanied by “POWs” and “AAAHs” seemed so realistic that
it had me feeling queasy in my stomach. The gunfire during
these fights also played a vital part in special effects. The
bullets and explosions of people and cars was also a brilliant
way to get the audience immersed in the movie because of the
realistic imagery and the fear that any character might suffer a
grave injury.
Another strong point of Mission: Impossible-Fallout is the
creative cinematography. The cinematography of a movie is
basically the art of making motion pictures which can be
illustrated in one of the fight scenes. For instance, as Hunt is
fighting for one of the plutonium bombs, Lane gets a hold of
Stickell who is one of Hunt’s team members. As he shouts for
Hunt to return the nuclear weapons, Lane is pointing his gun to
Stickell just in case he does not return it. The shot of Hunt
seeing a gun pointed at Stickell was focused on his eyes and
heavy breathing. The close-up shots of Lane and Hunts faces
gave it a very dramatic touch to the scene. The reverse shots are
used between high and low angles to illustrate the intense
dialogue and fighting that was going on. These powerful shots

Stickell and Lane. After an extended battle, this scene ends on
Lane getting ahold of the weapons while Hunt is checking up on
his teammate Stickell. The creative cinematography of this fight
scene was illustrated by the close-up shots of the actor’s heavy
breathing, eye contact, and dramatic background music.
In conclusion, Mission: Impossible-Fallout is the number one
movie to go watch at the theaters. It is a great entertaining
movie that includes insane stunts, crazy effects, and real-life
action. Tom Cruise’s crazy stunts are death-defying and
thrilling which has you at the edge of your seat. His
performance in this movie is by far the strongest of his career.
Better yet, the movies narrative is just as impressive as its
action, special effects, and cinematography. Mission:
Impossible-Fallout is in theaters now and is a mission you must
accept!
