‘Mission: Impossible 8’ restarted production in March, after last year’s strikes halted shooting on the movie in July. There’s been a lot of delays with this one, and bad luck has struck again on the film.
I was amazed to find out that after throwing a steam train off a cliff for the previous film, almost the entire thing was replaced digitally. The live action footage was used for reference.
Don't get me wrong, if I'd never seen the vfx breakdown, I'd probably never know. It's some amazing work by ILM.
It was oddly bad wasn't it. I described it as a parody of a good Mission Impossible film. Something was definitely off in the directing/writing of that film.
Just saw it the other day and it was bloody awful. The actors looked like they wanted to die rather than say “entity” one more time, and it went on for nearly three hours despite having the plot of half a regular MI film. The high RT score doesn’t make any sense to me at all.
