government, which wants to control the Entity and the new world order to come. But his old boss, Eugene Kittridge, played by the sinister Henry Czerny, warns Hunt to fall in line with the U.S.
Hunt and his IMF team are determined to destroy the Entity before it becomes too powerful or falls into the wrong hands. It's an invisible menace, everywhere and nowhere it can wipe out data systems, control the flow of information and bring nations to their knees.
In an especially timely twist, the big villain this time around is AI - a self-aware techno-being referred to as the Entity. The plot that connects these sequences is preposterous, of course, but reasonably easy to follow. And so we see Cruise's Ethan Hunt, an agent with the Impossible Missions Force, or IMF, tearing up the streets of Rome in a tiny yellow Fiat, riding a motorcycle off a cliff and - in the most astonishing sequence - hanging on for dear life after a deadly train derailment. In this seventh Mission: Impossible movie, the now 61-year-old actor and producer still insists on risking life and limb for our viewing pleasure, doing his own outrageous stunts in action scenes that make only minimal use of CGI. Now, with the box office still struggling to return to pre-pandemic levels, Cruise has become a kind of evangelist for the theatergoing experience, urging audiences to buy tickets not just to his movie, but also to other big summer titles like Barbie and Oppenheimer.Ĭruise's save-the-movies spirit goes hand-in-hand with his self-styled reputation as the last of the great Hollywood stars. Earlier this year, Steven Spielberg publicly praised Cruise for saving Hollywood with the smash success of Top Gun: Maverick. Back in 2020, when Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One was shooting in the U.K., Cruise was recorded screaming at crew members who'd violated COVID-19 lockdown protocols, all but claiming that the industry's future rested on their shoulders. And if you haven’t paid attention, you may not notice just how famous some of the voices behind these cartoon faces really are.Īs Invincible gets close to wrapping up its first season, let’s take a look at some of the big stars who have lent their voice to the project, helping to make as strong as its been.For some time now, Tom Cruise has been on what feels like a one-man mission to save the movies. Still, the cast is enormous, and super star-studded.
#Invisible movie list series#
With this (admittedly sizable) list, we’re choosing to focus on characters seen as significant thus far in the Invincible Amazon Series run it leaves out voiceover stars like Justin Roiland, and the likes of Djimon Hounsou and Jonathan Groff, who played characters we don’t necessarily expect to directly hear from again. Hell, we’re not even including him in the list below, but freaking Jon Hamm voices a random guy who shows up for a few lines here and there in a couple early episodes. We’re talking 2021 Academy Award nominees, multiple Academy Award winners, and more-superstars up and down the cast. With its roots in animation, Invincible also has.quite possibly the best voice cast we’ve ever seen. The show brings some great action, a storyline that comes with twists and turns, and serves not necessarily as a spoof of superhero films, but as a definite and clear subversion of a genre that has become quite populated in the last decade and change. Based on The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman’s comic of the same name, Invincible has made for a blast of an animated series so far.
