"Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" (Trailer)



This is the 5th "Mission: Impossible" movie starring Tom Cruise as super, secret agent, "Ethan Hunt". The first "Mission: Impossible" film was released back in 1996 and it's still going strong (plus Tom Cruise hasn't aged at all in 20 years...somehow). Most movie sagas that release three sequels or more, simply run out of gas and the movies seem to get worse with every sequel. For example, "Fast & Furious", "Twilight", "Harry Potter", "Star Wars", '"Scream", etc,. These films that go beyond a trilogy tend to be disappointing and anti-climactic, plus, there are always changes to the cast or a director. If the original movie is a huge commercial success, the studio will milk it for every penny possible. They've taken box office hits and released multiple sequels that seem to get redundant.

"Mission: Impossible" is one of the very few sagas that has actually maintained its momentum from the start, like "Indiana Jones", "The Terminator", and "Die Hard". In fact, this movie has gotten more intense and crazy with each sequel. The five movies are spread over 20 years, which is smart and allows for better quality sequels. I watched the original "Mission: Impossible" when I was young and it was so awesome at the time, and they have consistently added more action sequences, explosions, stunts, and CGI graphics, so the movies got even better as I got older. In fact, I think the 4th movie titled "Ghost Protocol", was possibly the best one yet.So, I'm glad to see the winning combination of Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, and Jeremy Renner back in action together for this next mission.

There has never been a repeated story line and all 5 movies are cohesive and make sense wen watched in order. Not to mention, there is always some new, fancy, spy gear featured in every movie. This trailer for "Mission: Impossible:- Rouge Nation" looks epic! I can't wait until the movie is released July 31, 2015.
