Thoughts:
- Leathery. Felt like a lot of leather, Actors like Henry Czerny, Esai Morales, Holt McCallany, Nick Offerman, Shea Whigham - and all the old henchman.
- So much exposition. I can't think of a film where it's been done with less finesse. So much Huey, Dewey and Louie dialogue.
- The Hayley Atwell romance so undercooked despite her efforts.
- Cruiser in great physical shape but felt old.
- Most showy role: Katy O'Brian. She should've joined the team.
- Decent sense of camraderie.
- Annoyingly reemphasised how everyone's going to die, and then how important the lives of the team are.
- Esai Morales dull villain, ditto entity. They should've killed Morales in the previous film and brought in a new human antagonist.
- Two great sequences: the sub and the plane.
- I'm glaad McQuarrie got to riff on his favourite films like Ice Station Zebra, 200, Seven Days in May, etc. I just think he bit off more than he could chew with this one.
