10 Biggest WTF Moments From This Year's Summer Films

Though it was certainly a close race, it looks as though Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise have walked away with the whole damn thing in the bag, boys and girls.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout is a masterpiece of action filmmaking. Utilizing Cruise to his fullest potential, McQuarrie crafts an epic that is simultaneously the biggest and most intimate of any Mission: Impossible film. And while sequences such as the HALO jump, the bathroom fight, or the entire truck/motorcycle/foot/boat/car chase could have anchored this on their own, the final helicopter sequence is as breath-taking as action cinema gets.

In order to prevent mustachioed Henry Cavil's Agent Walker from assisting Solomon Lane from setting off two nuclear bombs, Ethan Hunt must board an already in-flight helicopter, take control of the helicopter, and then somehow get to Agent Walker and take the triggering device.

The resulting sequence is absolutely stunning. Filmed in glorious IMAX, every frame feels like a revelation. It takes the franchise's commitment to practical action setpieces to new heights (quite literally). And then, as if they hadn't done enough already, the chase ends with Hunt and Walker having a fight alongside of and then over-the-side of a gargantuan ledge.

Whereas the film could have very easily delivered a standard action finale and still been one of the best action films of the year, it goes the extra mile and gives audiences one of the most jaw-dropping climaxes in all of action cinema, with a 'what the f**k, holy s**t, did that just happen?' moment at every turn.
