REVIEW: 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' Is Better Than What Critics Are Saying
- Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, premiered at Cannes on a Wednesday and releases in theaters on May 23, 2025.
- The film follows Ethan Hunt and his team as they try to stop a rogue AI called the Entity that can overpower global nuclear defenses.
- The movie features underwater and aerial action scenes, returning characters like Paris, and includes Captain Bledsoe who links Ethan’s first and latest missions.
- The film's $400 million budget supports ambitious stunts praised by critics, though reviews cite a thin plot, slow pacing, forced romance, and heavy exposition, with an 82% Rotten Tomatoes score.
- Despite mixed reactions, The Final Reckoning serves as the franchise’s likely farewell but some doubt if it truly concludes the series due to its ambiguous ending.
