The critics have already weighed in on “Mission: Impossible – Fallout,” with IndieWire’s David Ehrlich calling the sixth installment one of the “best action movies ever made,” and now Edgar Wright has taken to social media to share his own rave review. Wright is a master of the action genre himself thanks to “Baby Driver” and he singled out “Fallout” for prioritizing practical effects over CGI.
“As many film franchises blur into a big bland CGI soup, it’s thrilling to see one still putting an insane effort into thrilling practical stunts and incredible location work,” Wright said about the film. “So please be upstanding for ‘Mission Impossible: Fallout,’ truly making summer movies exciting again.”
Wright later responded to a fan comment by saying the Academy Awards should honor stunt workers with their own category. “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” makes yet another strong case for the argument, as did Wright’s “Baby Driver” last year.
