Without a BOOM

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2006)

Mission Impossible 3, in short, is different. It feels more like a drama then a big budget blockbuster. JJ.Abrams directional debut plays out like a very long TV episode of alias. The action, although expensive, feels pretty flat. This is what you get if you slipped Micheal Bay some relaxation pills. The camera is shaky and up close, I actually prefer John Woo's stylized choreography oppose to this. Although I didn't expect much of a plot, I certainly didn't expect so much emotion. I don't care about Ethan Hunt, I want to see him in break in buildings rather then making the transition to a family guy. Aside from a cool break into the Vatican, there is not much to see here.
