A reverse-documentary about covid where the good guys win.

Maybe in it's time it was good, but I tuned out. I guess I'll watch the rest of the series, but this comes off as forgettably-episodic. Recommended only for people who like the first one, and who would like a bubblegum version of the samey "safe" spy/crime movies.

  • Properly titled Mission: Impossible 2
  • stylized as M:I-2
  • Trailer

Pretty good; I can see why it was popular at the time.

A handful of Nazi scientists have toiled in secret to find and use a ring kept by some Americans in Egypt which they believe leads to an advanced civilization.

A rehash of other ideas done in a somewhat more amateur way, with a cheap ending as a prequel to either the original movie or series. Interesting to watch if you're a fan of the franchise but absolutely skippable if you're not.

The secret of easily refining weapons-grade nuclear material has fallen into evil hands.

A fast-paced but ultimately unsatisfying movie; not worthy of the name or a sequel.

An elite enemy group infiltrates the presidency of the United States, and initiates a plan to force the world into disarmament and submission.

A standard American action movie™ of no note.

On the capture of his last surviving clone, an evil alien enacts a time-editing plan to defeat his human enemies.

It's basically a long episode. As such, it would be impossible to appreciate without having watched much of the series.

Note: I don't know that I would put it here in this the viewing order.
