00:00Flying the whole time.
00:01The bed's good right there.
00:02Okay, drive set, drive set.
00:04Okay, shoot me.
00:05You're flying please, thank you.
00:07Just stay ahead of him.
00:10Here we are rolling.
00:11Here we go, we're set.
00:13And three, two, one, action.
00:24This Fosmer is just breathtakingly beautiful.
00:26We're in an absolutely remarkable place to be able to film.
00:30It is a unique experience.
00:33If you want to shoot the ice cap,
00:35you're going when the temperatures are absolutely their most extreme.
00:39And of course, the Arctic hit us right in the face.
00:43You can't fake being in minus 40 degrees.
00:45Take your gloves off for a few seconds.
00:48Your fingers start to freeze.
00:50Being in an environment like that adds to the suspense and the drama.
00:54I want to give audiences an experience of being there.
00:59It was a real privilege to do it.
01:00It looks amazing on the screen.
01:08Everything we're doing is underwater.
01:10We all know it's a dangerous place.
01:13We've developed hand signals underwater,
01:15talking to understanding.
01:16Depth or frame, do it again.
01:19All of these things, there's a lot of stuff happening.
01:21We have different signals for performance.
01:33Close-up, longer, fun resting.
01:37Once we got the hand signals,
01:39it made things a lot more efficient.
01:41But shooting underwater bears always a sense of danger.
01:44I'm going to straighten out.
01:53Yeah.
01:54Look at this, it's an altar.
01:56Shooting in the mine,
01:57the scale of it is absolutely enormous.
01:59It is an incredible practical location.
02:02It was taking everything we had learned
02:05from every other car chase and leveling it up.
02:07When we looked at the terrain,
02:09we recognized that this is going to require
02:11something more rugged.
02:12And we wanted to see Tom driving.
02:15And that's when we decided on Jeep.
02:16Let's reset and do one more.
02:18You'll see we put it through its paces.
02:20The power in these Jeeps was just amazing.
02:23You guys ready?
02:24Go hard, go hard.
02:25It is the most extreme
02:55practical action ever filmed.
02:59Tom and I are completely devoted to
03:01the biggest experience possible.
03:05And there is no bigger format than IMAX.
03:08What it brings to the story
03:09really is quite immersive.
03:13From a character's journey to the landscapes,
03:16every aspect is there on the screen.
03:20The philosophy of Mission Impossible
03:21is to transport an audience
03:23to a place they've never been,
03:24a place they may never be able to go.
03:27Seeing it on IMAX,
03:28it invests you in that world.
03:29This is cinema.
03:30This is the experience
03:31that is defining for an audience.
03:38Three, two, one.
03:41You can't imagine how physically punishing
03:43it was for Tom to be on the wing.
03:48The wind distorts your vision.
03:52It's almost impossible to breathe.
04:24We're going to go 10,000, but if we can get 12,000, we'll go 20 knots forward.
04:33What I'd like to do is accelerate the next jump, and I'd like to kind of do it as quickly
04:37as possible the next one, and I'll build up to it, go faster, faster, faster, and put
04:42myself to a worst-case scenario, and how fast does it take me to recover, which all of these
04:47cases are recoverable.
04:50Here, let's put this on, please.
04:52Let's check the frame again.
04:54Yeah.
04:54That's my hand position.
04:56Your hand position is good.
04:57There you go.
04:58You can even hold it a little lower there.
04:59I just know I'm going to be like this.
05:01Okay.
05:02My hand will be, I'll be like this.
05:04That's better.
05:05It gives you a lot more margin for error.
05:07Let's talk about safety.
05:08We do the same exit.
05:09I'll be in an accelerated spin.
05:11Really, what do we want to see in this frame?
05:12Yes.
05:12We want to see me falling.
05:14Yes.
05:14And then I throw it, and it's like, hold.
05:16Okay, let's do it, guys.
05:23Okay!
05:23Three, two, one, go!
