US EditionREVIEW: 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' Is Better Than What Critics Are Saying
- 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,' directed by Christopher McQuarrie and starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, premiered at Cannes on May 15, 2025, before its May 23 worldwide release.
- The film continues the story from the 2023 sequel, focusing on Ethan Hunt's mission to stop the rogue AI called the Entity, which threatens global nuclear security.
- Key sequences include underwater and aerial battles, with returning characters like Paris and new ones such as Captain Bledsoe enriching the narrative, though the film features more exposition and a slower pace than usual.
- Critics note an 82% Rotten Tomatoes score and praise Cruise's stunt work as 'astonishing feats' delivering real tension, but they also highlight the film's nearly three-hour length and heavy moments that dampen its impact.
- As the franchise's final installment, the film receives mixed reactions suggesting that it struggles to provide a strong farewell matching the series’ legacy, with social media reflecting both admiration and criticism.
