Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol [movie]

THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MOVIE IT THAT EVERY PLOT INVOLVED SO MANY WEIRD BAFFLING SCI-FI GADGETS THAT IT GOT HARDER AND HARDER TO EVEN TELL WHAT WAS HAPPENING. LIKE HOW DO YOU EVEN INVEST IN A SCENE WHERE IT RELIES ON CONTACT LENSES THAT ARE PHOTOCOPIERS THAT SCRAMBLE NUMBERS.
 
PS. I WATCHED THIS BECAUSE THE CLIMAX IS SET IN DUBAI.

IT REALLY DID STUFF WITH THAT, IT HAD SO MANY SUBVERSIONS OF WHAT WOULD NORMALLY HAPPEN IN A SHOW. THEN IT JUST KEPT GOING AWAY FROM THAT TO WEREWOLF DADS AND TIME TRAVEL AND WHATEVER. I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT'S SUMMED UP THAT THE FIGHT IN THE END WAS YELLOW POWERS VS GREEN POWERS.  PS. ALSO IMAGINE DRAGONS EXISTS DIEGETICALLY IN THIS.
