Ethan still being alive is beyond belief and the story got too unrealistic?
U sure you’re familiar with the Mission Impossible series? ;) Ethan in Fallout barely comes close to defying the laws of physics like he does in previous Mission Impossible installments. And this is funny because I thought the entire film was perhaps the most realistic (or least unrealistic depending on you look at it) since the first one.
Yes, we know Ethan will always survive the “unsurvival”, but watching the wild stunts Cruise performs and seeing how all the action is executed and how close Ethan and his team come close to failing (Baldwin’s character wasn’t so lucky as you saw), makes for a thoroughly exciting and tense movie experience. Plus having a tight script, which is not the norm for most action movies, makes every moment in Fallout count. If all this became boring and pointless to you, well, then it’s safe to say this series isn’t for you.

You might be right... As the first one is my favorite;-) (You knew Baldwin was gone as soon as he appeared)... It is not that I did not enjoy parts of the movie (The bathroom fight is a classic)... And you are right the the action is executed to perfection... I would just like there to be more than action (Which is probably why I like the first one the best) How many chase scenes does a movie really need? I do not know how you define realistic and I know it is part of the franchise... but why do they for example need to establish that Ethan knows nothing about flying a helicopter for him then to be able to fly a helicopter... Is it that far fetched that a secret agent might have learned to fly a helicopter? Stuff like that is just ridiculous... But again I really enjoyed the first hour/hour an a half of the movie and then it just was more of the same... there is absolutely no reason for this movie to be 150 minuttes long. And it is not that I do not like long movies there just have to be a reason for the playing time...
