    Nothing about the soundtrack releasing yet?

    No release date but it looks like Lorne Balfe won't be scoring this one https://filmmusicreporter.com/2025/04/18/max-aruj-alfie-godfrey-scoring-christopher-mcquarries-mission-impossible-the-final-reckoning/

    That’s very surprising, I assumed he was on for it; I wonder if it was a scheduling thing.
    Looks like those guys worked with him on the previous ones so I guess the sound will probably be very similar.

    Call me stupid but I think people are really sleeping on this film. Because the last one had a cooler reception at the boxoffice it seems people are tentative with Final Reckoning and it's prospects. I think the Barbenhiemer phenomenon was a unique scenario, kinda like TND opening the same week as TITANIC, and not MI's fault. These films still have a high quality level and I think the good will acculamted towards the series will come good for the final (?) entry, and I can see Final Reckoning comfortably sailing past 650 million worldwide.

    The last one seemed exhausted, as YOLT.

    They were keeping their powder dry, which means MI:FR will be a lot of bang for the buck!

    Similar situation to Harry Potter Part 1/Part 2. The finale will be epic. B-)

    Despite the box office, I don’t think MI:DR was a lesser film. It still has the same high production values, location work and set pieces.
    Looking at the trailer there’s nothing to suggest that MI:FR will be anything other than a great follow up, and a great MI adventure.

    I don't deny that. My only worry from the trailer is the coffin where Ethan seems like he's going to upload his memories? That seems like jumping the shark to me if it's what's happening.

    Yeah, but it's like Indy going back in time, if its the end of the series anyway then I don't have a problem it. It's the finale.

    I found it fascinating how DR started leaning into almost fantasy or sci-fi with the AI stuff, after the grounded version we got in Fallout. I'm more in the Fallout crowd, so my hopes are tempered for this new one. I know I'll enjoy it, I just don't know if it'll be the best, for me. And I want every new one to be the best.

    The thing is , while it may seem like it, AI is not sci-fi.

    We re living in an age where technology is advancing almost exponentially, at such a rate that it may seem unrealistic when seen in a film.

    Dealing with this is going to be a challenge for the next era of Bond

    As someone who only has seen AI make cat images and write code with instructions from a human, I'm not worried. Anything beyond that application is sci-fi, still, to me. I know it'll be used for next-gen military communications and interception tech, but it's not exactly going to be taking over submarines and firing off nukes, that's hopefully firmly in sci-fi forever.

    Maybe, maybe not…

    In my opinion, it was the YOLT of MI. The magic was gone.

    McQuarrie has already made too many movies IMO.

    Seeing those character posters is great, but it does make me think the last film had too many new faces. I hope they focus on the core team
    I have no insider knowledge on it, but I still think Ilsa will return in some way.

    For some time I’ve said this about Marvel films , particularly The Avengers. Lol

    AI is not sci-fi, I agree, but there are hints that Hunt will somehow be "interfacing" with the Entity (via the "coffin") and that is pure sci-fi. I really hope thats not true as it crosses the line for me.

    Human/ AI interfacing is being done now and is advancing at incredible speed…

    Well, YOLT was the high point of 60s Bond so that’s only a good thing :)

    YOLT was the full package. Call it whatever you want but it’s never boring. I love TB but it does drag in many places. YOLT was the ultimate spectacle Bond! Ken Adam at his best, John Barry at his best, cinematography (by Freddie Young no less) at its best, gadgets (Little Nellie?) at their best, Japan locale at its best, villains (Blofeld, Helga, Osato, Hans) at their best, piranha pool at its best, best ally in Tiger Tanaka, etc etc. And still the best 60s Bond song (by the awesome Nancy Sinatra). Maybe Connery wasn’t at his best but I still think he delivers and runs circles around any Danny Craig performance.

    I'm guessing that will be the next bond plot too


    This looks good kind of like last film poster

    15 minutes longer then Mi7 and 7 minutes longer then NTTD.

    The screentime and a lot Action made last movie more difficult then story actually be.

    Mi7 showing that removed camera image on airport and created a error with mask maker and error with Google maps. But now Ethun going set his life in danger with a health machine that going to control his oxygen and heart with no doctor around close to the machine. Simalar as pilot in Top Gun or Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies. I thinks this based on Hospital machine that normally only be used when can't no longer breave alone or sleep machine. Moost of the time a Dutch design by Philips and the made for home sleep machine's are sometimes in discussion.
