As anyone who's ever taken a selfie will tell you, the camera angled at around 180 degrees below the chin, held with hand, or selfie-stick, produces possibly your worst self-portrait. That's really where the camera is positioned, you notice, as Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), pretending to be the villain, holds a meeting in a Parisian dome in Mission Impossible: Fallout.

Even from that unflattering POV, with no signs of a double-chin, Cruise looks as good as the rest of his incredibly shot, latest film does, in top angle, which isn't just the most preferred selfie-position, by the way. For nothing in movies, I repeat, nothing, appears as majestic as simply an aerial shot, steeply pointing downwards, on an IMAX screen — not even a tracking shot on high-speed motion at eye-level, which is almost just as exhilarating.
