This. Is. Something.I will probably see Mission: Impossible on Day One. I'm a fan of the series, and the last two entries have been great. A lot of people really like M:I 4. I thought that was okay, but not as good as 3, 5, and 6. Based on the villain's lines here -- "You have no idea of the power I control" as well as his claim that Ethan's fate has already been seen and written -- I'm pretty sure this is about a super-intelligent AI capable of accurately forecasting the future. Among other things. Interestingly, the former head of the CIA from the first movie -- "McKittrick" -- has now gone private and apparently working with the tech mogul to control the world with his super-AI. And based on lines from a previous teaser -- about "the chance to control the truth" -- the AI is designed to manipulate public opinion. Via, I imagine, AI generated-and-perfected "disinformation." They probably won't talk about the more insidious and powerful threat to "the truth," the suppression/censorship of true information, because that's not as sexy as active lies. Who knows, maybe they'll hint at it, but I doubt it. It would be too controversial to suggest that The Regime actively censors the truth. So not just forecasting the future, but pre-scripting the future. A former head of the CIA attempting to control speech and dictate the future through censorship and computer algorithms? How does Hollywood come up with these completely-implausible fantasy scenarios? Usually I don't care about the villain's plot in this type of movie -- he wants to blow up X, Y, or Z, yadda yadda yadda, who cares, it's just an excuse for action sequences -- but this particular plot really interests me, for obvious reasons. Seriously, I think this is the first Villain's Plot I've had any interest in since pretty much forever. Oh and Haley Atwell's in it. Here's the previous teaser in which the former head of the CIA, McKittrick, tells Ethan Hunt that they now have "the chance to control the truth, the concepts of right and wrong, for centuries to come." By the way, of course Tom Cruise is not going to put in a divisive message which clearly links the left with this censorship/world control scheme. The plot will be deliberately apolitical and allow viewers to imagine that it's just Donald Trump behind "the truth... vanishing." In almost any dystopian movie (or threat of future dystopia), they're always written to allow everyone to imagine that his Designated Villain is responsible for the apocalypse. But I'll know. There's only one political movement controlling AI and using AI to censor people's speech, and it's not MAGA. Speaking of dangerous technology which has the potential for ending the world as we know it: Someone was joking that you won't be able to understand the dialogue in this movie, like in every other Nolan film. Like they'll have Einstein in a Bane mask saying "Mmmf nnngth mmfh deuterium ngmmth mmmrhhg." Five Nights at Freddy's is based on a videogame where you're working at a Chucky Cheese type restaurant and then the animatronic mascot characters come to life and start doing murders. The trouble is, people liked this concept so much that two other movies already ripped it off before this new movie came to theaters: Nic Cage gave a nearly wordless performance in the rip-off Willy's Wonderland, and the Banana Splits "reimagining" turned the macots into killer robots. And maybe aliens? I dunno. I saw it but remember very little. The "original" has already been beaten to the theaters by derivatives. How weird is it that I've seen The Banana Splits movie and most of the Nick Cage version, Willy's Wonderland? What kind of an idiot am I? I see like ten new movies per year and these are what I rent on PPV. Well, I'm not going to see this one. I've seen the concept twice already and it didn't wow me either time. Finally: Fast X tried to figure out a way they could appeal even harder to young men, and then they realized: Needs. Moar. Brie Larson. She is playing a villain here, I think. And she's in this four minute trailer for a single line. Which probably indicates a career in trouble. All I know is: This time, it's about Family. | Recent Comments
