Cruising from one Impossible Mission to another!

We just saw Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning.

I’m glad i went to see it in the theatre IN 4D.

168.9 minutes - pure adrenaline rush.

I laughed. I cried. I gasped. I even peed my pants (yes again! albeeit a few drops (in the restroom meant for the handicapped and nursing mothers!)….more on that later.

Lots of spoilers. Please disconnect if you plan to watch it.

The set-up is pretty simple. The world faces complete annihilation….UNLESS Ethan Hunt can save it.

Armed with just his charm, quick wit and his trusted buddies, he sets out on a Mission which seems daunting to the bravest of hearts!

From descending to the depths of the ocean to flying (on the OUTSIDE) of a plane in the clouds - it’s all in a day’s work for Tom Cruise / Ethan Hunt.

Usually, during even the most gripping films, phones buzz, people chat among themselves. But on this occasion for the entire duration of 168.9 minutes, there was COMPLETE attention.

Which shows the respect the audience had for an actor going above and beyond his remit to push the boundaries and merge reel and real!

After all at 63 years of age when you’ve played one of the most ICONIC characters in history for 3 decades, you dont need to subject your body to the brutality that he does.

In one of the interviews I came across, Tom says, one MUST aim for perfection and keep LEARNING and UPSKILLING and avoid taking audiences for granted.

So true!

we salute him.

Wish ALL actors would emulate his example and not hide behind tech and simulations but commit to the script and storyline. Fans will respond.

Now a brief note for PVR CINEMAS and other cinemas, PLEASE ensure your toilets are close to the exit. (Keeping people with weaker bladders in mind).

I had to make a dash and actually felt like it was going to be an Impossible mission, but thanks to a Costa Coffee barista I reached the restrooms in time (well almost!)

Let me end this tribute on a positive note.

Tom Cruise, if you or your team do happen to read this blog post (yes, i am manifesting the same), PLEASE know that you’ve already won our hearts and dont need to put yourself in harm’s way.

HELP US, HEL:P YOU!

You're a super actor

So that we can marvel at your endurance
