In addition to the compelling story, the premiere also revealed many dramatic and breathtaking behind-the-scenes details - especially the 10 days of filming in the freezing Arctic, where temperatures can drop to minus 40 degrees Celsius.

No longer just a technical performance or eye-catching action, the 8th installment in the “Mission: Impossible” series is a real physical and mental challenge for the cast and production crew. Tom Cruise - the legendary action star - and director Christopher McQuarrie decided to push the limits to new heights when choosing Svalbard, a remote Norwegian archipelago near the Arctic Circle, as the main setting for many dramatic action scenes.

The entire Arctic filming process was carried out in extremely harsh conditions. Temperatures were so low that boiling water would instantly turn to snow, the wind was so cold that it could cause frostbite, the glaciers were dangerous and could crack at any moment, and wild animals such as polar bears were constantly lurking. Every minute of filming was carefully calculated, as the crew only had a few safe hours a day to work outdoors. The cast was kept warm with hair dryers between takes to avoid hypothermia.

CGV representative said that the film crew spent 4 months preparing and 10 days filming in the North Pole. It was not only a cinematic journey, but also a true “mission impossible” - a place where only brave and passionate people dare to step forward.

Not only is it physically challenging, “Mission: Impossible - Final Karma” continues Tom Cruise’s “no stunt double” tradition. At the age of 62, the actor continues to amaze viewers with a scene of jumping out of a flying biplane - filmed with a camera mounted directly on his body.

Tom Cruise says his love of the sky began as a boy who loved climbing trees and stargazing. A childhood TV show featuring wingwalkers imprinted itself on him and shaped the iconic action character Ethan Hunt that he has been playing for three decades.

The commitment to authentic experiences is not limited to Tom Cruise. Actress Hayley Atwell, who accompanied him on the previous film, commented: “We shot in South Africa, which is a breathtakingly beautiful place. But the Arctic is a real challenge in every way. That creates tension, authenticity and makes every action scene breathtaking on screen.”

In addition to the action, the audience also gets to admire the breathtaking scenes of the Arctic, a land that has never appeared in any Hollywood blockbuster before. The harsh climate does not prevent the director and producers from including beautiful images of wild and rugged nature in the film, making the film a truly global cinematic experience as the creative team's manifesto stated.

“Mission: Impossible - Final Retribution” will be shown nationwide from May 30.
