****1/2 (Four and a half stars)
When we go to see a movie Mission Impossiblewe wait suspense, action, humor, adventure of all kinds and humanity. And we always find it, always. Actor and Producer Merit Tom Cruise, who has never ceased to be a grateful spectator of the cinema, so much so as to give to others what he himself enjoys. His author’s trait is that: “come with me to enjoy the impossible”.
Here, in the first part of a “finale” for the series, Ethan Hunt is confronted with a terrifying and Machiavellian artificial intelligence that uses against him his worst weakness: the affection for the life of his friends and allies, of others in general.
The film, discreetly and without reciting it, asks the fundamental question:what makes us human, especially when technology can already create powerful intelligence? Respond, by force of persecution, tremendous scenes of suspense and action, infinite falls, bursting trains and a thousand other things, that what makes us human are emotions, neither more nor less.
And in that sense, the film tries -almost paradoxically- to use all the necessary technology to capture those emotions on both an intellectual and physical level. There is not a frame that is not enjoyed and yes, this is cinema, like the one we fell in love with when, for the first time, we sat in a dark room.
