Release Date:

July 31, 2015

Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate – an International rogue organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF.”

Poster: D / C (7)

Review: (#1) Pulling a single scene from the trailer doesn’t always work and while this will, no doubt, be a very adrenaline-heavy sequence, on a poster, it just seems forgettable.

(#2-#8) A septet of character poster with varying locales and body positions, though none of them jump out as entirely organic or exciting.

Trailer: B / B

Review: (#1) As anyone who’s enjoyed the Mission: Impossible films will tell you: reminding them of how much you enjoyed the prior outings only serves to whet your appetite. This did just that.

(#2) Another trailer that amps up the excitement while presenting our first full look at the entirety of the plot. It doesn’t look like anyone’s doing anything particularly special in this, but the entertainment factor should still be high.

Oscar Prospects:

The Mission: Impossible franchise is much much younger than the James Bond franchise, so I don’t think it will have much luck at the Oscars, though some sound nods might not be unexpected.
