CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAy 27, 2025
I AM NOT A FILM REVIEWER, MOSTLY BECAUSE SO MANY MOVIES THAT COME FROM WHAT IS UNIVERSALLY KNOWN AS “HOLLYWOOD” ARE VULGAR, BLASMPEMOUS AND TREAT ALL FORMS OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOR AS NORMAL.
I’M MAKING AN EXCEPTION WITH THE LATEST “MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: THE LAST RECKONING” WHICH OPENED LAST WEEKEND.
LEAVING THE OVERPRICED TICKETS ASIDE (MORE THAN $30 FOR MY WIFE AND ME), THE FILM IS TOO LONG. THE ENEMY IS CALLED THE “ENTITY,” A BODYLESS FORCE THAT SEEKS TO CONTROL THE WORLD’S NUCLEAR ARSENAL AND CREATE ARMAGEDDON. THE REFERENCE TO ARMAGEDDON IS ABOUT THE ONLY BIBLICALLY-BASED TRUTH IN THE FILM.
AT THE END, ONE OF THE CHARACTERS HAS RECORDED A MESSAGE FOR THE CRUISE CHARACTER THAT SEEKS TO REMIND HIM THERE IS GOOD IN ALL OF US AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WE ARE MASTERS OF OUR OWN FATE. NOTHING COULD BE MORE UN-BIBLCAL, EXCEPT FOR TOM CRUISE’S SCIENTOLOGY RELIGION WHICH TEACHES REINCARNATION AND THAT TRAUMATIC EVENTS CAUSE SUBCONCIOUS COMMAND-LIKE RECORDINGS IN THE MIND THAT CAN BE REMOVED ONLY THROUGH AN ACTIVITY CALLED “AUDITING,” FOR WHICH A FEE IS CHARGED.”
ACTUALLY, SIN IS OUR PROBLEM AND THE ONLY WAY THAT CAN BE REMOVED IS THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. SEE THE MOVIE IF YOU LIKE. CRUISE’S STUNTS ARE AMAZING, IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THEM. I’M CAL THOMAS.
