Movies – Mission Impossible III
Mission Impossible 3, hmm, chalk one more up for the classic hero rescues the heroine scene! However, the movie certainly added some twist in it at some points and the usage of advanced gadgets in the movie heard a few Ahs and Ohs from bunch friends who watched the movie with me on the TV. Yeah, so it was a pirated DVD, and I have to say the print and the sounds were pretty miserable which wasn’t really enabling me to feel the true movie as such. However I did get a pretty good outline of the plot and the way the things were carried out.
The movie starts with a flash of the future where Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his wife, Julia (Michelle Monaghan) are captured by the villain, Owen Devian (Philips Seymour Hoffman). Their whole conversation of “Where is the Rabbit Foot? (Please do NOT ask me what rabbit foot is…)” and Devian’s prodding of Julia’s head with the nuzzle of his pistol doesn’t really give the movie a very good beginning….at least not something that squeezes some adrenalin in the viewer’s blood, but it kind of sets the whole movie up for the ending about 1 and a half hours later.
Flashing away from the hostage scenario and moving into the past, the movie shifts on to a more pleasant party scene at Ethan’s house. Soon, he gets drawn away to a mission with the objectives requiring him to rescue the surveillance agent, Lindsey (Keri Russell) who had been ambushed by the enemy who happened to be (Well surprise, surprise!) Devian’s men. After assembling his team which includes himself and four more people (counting hisold time buddy, Luther [Ving Rhames] ,too), there is a thrilling (Well, kinda…) rescue attempt and Ethan succeeds in taking Lindsey to his helicopter.
However, after a short talk with Lindsey, Ethan had to say goodbye to her forever, as the explosive device implanted in her head by Devian, explodes just before he could deliver a charge to her body which would have destroyed the device (Little did dear ol’ Ethan know that he would be having one up his grey matter eventually :P ).
The movie then gets heated up when he kidnaps Devian (and of course, the way they kidnap the bad guy is naturally fascinating ) and sticks him out of the bottom of an aircraft (When it was airborne…). Devian then swears that he would have his revenge, which he was close to claiming at the end of the movie.
All in all, the movie was well directed and rolls over a variety of different situations where the hero is put through grueling circumstances. However, lady luck is by his side and helps him out at most instances (though the part where Julia tries to revive her Prince Charming by pounding on his chest doesn’t really spell out luck for poor Tom ).
Let me see, how can I describe this movie…hmm… well, as I have already mentioned, it is the classic hero saves the heroine scenario but then there are a few nice twists here and there but it isn’t anything very special that would stand out from the rest of the crowd. Though there might be a few people who would be awed by the turn of events and the gadgets they use, I would say that the movie was fairly good and would be a pretty good watch for people who want to see just another movie and I would rate it on par with Mission Impossible 2.
The last word? Any casual fewer of films would enjoy this movie and would probably have felt he did something worthwhile during the day :P.
