It was the same with previous movies. A consistent theme while doing a rewatch this and last week before seeing the new one was me saying to my wife "why are they chasing XYZ again?" and she would look up from her phone and say "I don't know."
I never found this with the 007 movies, which had stronger stories.

Is story recall even a priority for the MI movies? I remember them only by specific scenes and wonder if that's exactly what they're going for
1 - computer room with heat/sound/floor sensors but no motion sensors
2 - birds and ancient karate movie triple takes
3 - Felicity's brain explodes
4 - Burj Khalifa
5 - Side of airplane, water tank
6 - Helicopter, Superman loads up arms and gets smoked anyways
7 - Motorcycle jump that everyone saw 23 times before movie was released
