User Reviews:
Rogue Nation, like the latest movies in the franchise and
others in the spy/action genre, starts with a small crew, with little support, against
huge odds, having to deal with challenges that seem impossible (no pun intended).
What makes Rogue Nation better than most is that it makes it
all plausible without super-human characters, crazy gizmos (except one that I
shaw not mention, but it is not overused like in M:I II), and brilliantly made down-to-earth
action sequences. The latest 007 movies are following the same ideals, but M:I
has made a solid choice of supporting actors (specially Simon Pegg) that add a
subtle layer of comedy and improvisation, which helps a lot into building some
suspense in the audience - it feels like as if they are as clueless as we are
of what is going to happen.
Another great aspect that sets this moving apart are the
terrific action sequences which are paired with outstanding sound effects and
music score (without spoiling, there is an entire action sequence that plays
with this very aspect). Was lucky enough to watch a pre-screening on IMAX, and
strongly recommend watching it on IMAX or a theater with a good audio setup.
The storyline, while not hard to follow, benefits from
having watched at least Ghost Protocol, since key characters are back and lack
some introduction, and the story somewhat picks from what took place in the
last instance. Much like Ghost Protocol, the storyline packs some interesting
twists and doesn't seem obvious - even though we all know that the good guys
win, Rogue Nation adds some shady characters which are not as black and white, making
for some interesting development.
Overall a highly entertaining movie, packed with stunning
action sequences and a storyline that is well thought-out and manages to keep
the audience hooked until the end. A solid addition to the franchise that keeps
one-upping itself on every new release.
