Final Reckoning spoiler thoughts
Marco
Its reputation reached mild hubris. Its an enjoyable installment. Lacked the emotional stakes and payoff of a finale.

Like, you are less wowed and more “good for you”, you can do an elaborate plane pursuit stunt, which always felt one degree away from parody.

That could be my own damn fault. Hard not to think of Fallout’s chopper stunts as superior. Plus Cruise trying to maneuver around the plane kept reminding me of my cat.

Have to say, having gone thru a deep appreciation for the IMAX format with Sinners, Reckoning somehow lacked its scale.

What I did thoroughly enjoy was the dude behind me whispering his commentary. Just simple “shit! oh no!” or “sooo crazy yo!”. Didnt ruin my cinema experience. It was the only thing grounding the film in any way for me.

Morning after thoughts:
- Bringing back the dude from the first film was great.
- Every other reference to past films (rabbits foot, Phelps' kid) were ridiculously unearned.
- The decompression chamber cuddle was very reminiscent of the Top Gun Maverick scene of "we swear Tom is not gay".

- Pom's schtick of blunt French commentary was amusing but we really just wanted to see her kick ass more. (she didn't).
- Would not have been angry if Ilsa came back. (also, didn't)

Isn't Ilsa dead?

Really can't remember anything about this franchise after the third film.

Autobot Abubot : Narrative importance did indeed die after 3. The rest are just stakes and stunts. They try to celebrate that in this last one.
