I didn't say sandstorms don't happen, but they certainly don't look quite like that.

"Sandstorms" are actually pretty common around here; every time the wind picks up, there's sand in the air, visibility drops, and it just feels like you're driving through heavy fog.

But that cinematic moment where a massive sandstorm "approaches"? That definitely doesn't look anything like how they staged it in the movie.

They really should have done a bit more homework on the details.

I live in Dubai, and when Tom Cruise scales the Burj Khalifa, there aren't any tents scattered around like they showed in the movie. It’s all luxury villas and the Dubai Mall; nothing could look better than that. When I was at the theater and they played the sequence where he runs down the Burj Khalifa followed by that sandstorm, the whole audience started laughing.

As for that sandstorm, 🙂 I honestly don't even want to get into it—good grief.
