rjerrycaldwellmsncom I enjoyed watching it but I have seen it before. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/25/21 Full Review Angry M The first film looks kind of low on action these days in comparison to the others and even though it has a decent plot about betrayal it isn’t really a great film in any respect sure the train scene got people talking but as action spy films go it’s not Casino Royal or Skyfall , It can be a little boring and tame compared to the other films but it’s better than the second one and because it’s the original I give it 3 out of 5 for that alone Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Glafira Regina O The first part of the Mission: Impossible franchise is an absolute thrill ride. Typically, this happens when a film is genuinely interesting, and you don’t even notice the minutes flying by. And indeed, Mission: Impossible impresses with its spectacular visuals. I won’t go into the legendary theme song, which has become iconic and is passed from person to person, playing in each installment. Even someone deep in sleep could recognize the tune and know exactly where it's from. The acting aspect is also top-notch. Each character is well-developed, with their own backstory, motivation, and beliefs. The actors playing their roles don’t falter and present their beloved characters skillfully. However, the secondary characters seem somewhat underdeveloped and lack depth, but the main characters grab most of the attention. However... I really don't like Tom Cruise and another actress (forgot her name) appearance. Just... not my type. Plot: Many people claim that action movies can’t have an interesting plot, but every film has a cyclical story. Whether it’s presented well or poorly depends on the film itself. In this case, it’s done pretty well. We’re not introduced to Ethan Hunt's character from the beginning; instead, we’re thrown straight into the middle of the action. This isn’t a bad thing, as over time we learn more about the main character, his goals, and his backstory. The plot twists, Agatha Christie-style, are also quite intriguing, especially the mystery of who the ‘rat’ in the agency is. However, despite all the positives, I’d like to mention what I personally think is a weak aspect: the action scenes. The film is designed as an action movie, and as a fan of the genre, I was a bit disappointed that there were very few fight scenes. This is odd because Tom Cruise was only 37 at the time, still young, and considering that by the third part the film embraced more of those "action-packed" moments, this first film feels a step behind. Still, it’s a very cool movie that can be rewatched many times, and each time, it remains just as interesting as the first.

Algo que me resultó increíble de esta película fue cómo desde un conflicto aparentemente sencillo, la misma narrativa jugó en repetidas ocasiones con las expectativas del espectador con diferentes giros de trama increíblemente bien estructurados, que dotaron a esta trama de una tridimensionalidad fantástica. Expuesto desde la escena de apertura, dónde cada acción minúscula hasta por personajes de reparto que el mismo espectador ve, pero pasa por alto va tomando suma relevancia a la hora de desenmarañar el conflicto, en una de las mejores aperturas de una película que he visto. En verdad es increíble la naturalidad con la que esta película crea el suspenso, no solo desde el gran guion del fantástico David Koepp, sino con una cinematografía que supo cuando ser visualmente impactante, pero también con primerísimos primeros planos que dan un sentimiento de asfixia hermoso. Dando cómo resultado la espectacular escena en Langley que ha sido homenajeada en cientos de filmes. Desde la anticipación donde los protagonistas desarrollan el plan, hasta su conclusión es perfecta, cada minuto es oro en el desarrollo de esta magnífica secuencia. Es impresionante cómo esta película no tiene ni una escena de relleno, cada palabra que sueltan los personajes es crucial para entender el conflicto en su totalidad. Esta película estructuró de mejor forma los 3 planes que desarrollo durante toda su narrativa para crear un clímax perfecto, que cientos de películas de acción hacen con uno solo. En verdad me voló la cabeza cómo cada plan se unió de una manera tan orgánica en la resolución de este conflicto, haciendo que Ethan Hunt desde esta primera entrega se volviera inmortal. No hay duda de que Misión Imposible a través de una personalidad casi tan avasalladora cómo su originalidad narrativa elevó los estándares de un género a través de constantemente intentar sorprender al espectador, pero sin depender de estos giros de trama para buscar crear un relato interesante. Una cinta que se convirtió no solo en un referente de este género, sino también en una de las películas más importantes de su década. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Max W The Mission: Impossible film not only ushered in a new era of spy-action cinema and the hands-on stunt era led by Tom Cruise but also retained much of the tone and design of the original TV series. While some of its creative liberties remain controversial in terms of faithfulness, breaking the mold was necessary—and in doing so, it paved the way for the golden age of Hollywood action films.
