In which I discuss the latest movie trailers.
Never mind striking while the iron's hot, there's little and less logic to releasing a teaser trailer the day before you release the full trailer. It's called a teaser trailer for a reason: it teases along the audience, gets conversations about the movie going and maintains interest until the full trailer is released. By releasing the new and improved full trailer the next day, there's not much time for people to start talking. Sit on it for a couple weeks, or at least for one. Let the teaser do its job before replacing it with something better.
But don't worry about this trailer going too far and Tomorrowlanding us. At 2:20, it's short even for a trailer and doesn't have much room to needlessly spoil us. Those expanded action sequences are just that: longer takes of the action scenes that we've already seen. The added plot it just that: the grand reveal of what's happening in the movie to pair off with what it's about. It's lean, terse and pulsatingly energetic.
It would appear that interests within the United States Government have called on the nation to disband the IMF, calling them "an agency of chaos" that are immune to any countermeasures placed against them. When the so-called "Rogue Nation," an anti-IMF spy agency, is contracted to take out the core IMF members - including Ethan Hunt, Benji Dunn and Luther Stickell - their only remaining course of action is to take down the Rogue Nation themselves.
Judging from the premise and the trailer, this could very well be the best Mission: Impossible yet. The action appears to be as intense as ever, the premise is a perfect example of stakes-raising from the previous franchise entries and the plot ties perfectly into how often at odds the IMF is with other governmental agencies.
So what are your thoughts on the new Mission: Impossible trailer? Will you be lining up to see Rogue Nation when it comes out later this year? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
