The movie has two really good parts: the underwater sequence in the submarine and the insane plane stunt - aka Tom Cruise signature craziness. You gotta respect that level of filmmaking, and I'm happy that stuff like this still exists.

However, when it comes to actual content, the movie is mostly filled with characters explaining, over and over again, what they are doing and what's going to happen next, embedded in overly dramatic and exaggerated dialogue. Sorry, but that's just not good writing - it's exposition dumping.

The rest is basically run-of-the-mill action sequences and plot devices that lead to a pretty predictable and not-very-exciting plot. So while the movie is still entertaining, you're left with the bittersweet realization that this farewell to the Mission: Impossible franchise could have been just a bit more.

I really wanted to like this movie, and it hurts to say that it is actually very mid. It tries to be extremely high-stakes but forgets what made the best mission films so great-not only the action but also the characters. It's hard not to see that the plot is there just to fill the time between the key stunts. But I'd like to go into more detail, starting with what I liked.

1. Cinematography and action. As usual, the cinematography is strong with this one. Some of the shots were jaw-dropping, hands down. The submarine underwater sequence is a masterclass in tension. I forgot all the problems I had with the plot while watching it. Truly beautiful. No matter the issues that I will list further, I still have a crazy respect for Tom Cruise doing this for real and bringing the best action possible.

2. Benji. I absolutely love everything they did with this character. From being a nameless computer guy, to Ethan's close friend and partner, to actually becoming a co-leader with Ethan. Definitely well built and deserved.

3. Some connections with previous movies felt nice; one even had a great message behind it. Though I have to say, it felt like the creators didn't trust the audience enough to recognise them. For example, when one of the characters was brought back from another M:I, Benji immediately started explaining who this guy was, which killed some of the joy for me, as a fan.

But, even if I wouldn't call TFR a bad movie, it is a very flawed one.

1. The whole "CHOICE" situation is stupid. It's never once foreshadowed in any of the first six movies, so it feels like a retcon. Why was this even needed? It brings nothing to the story apart from Grace joining the team, which could've been done in a dozen other ways.

2. This movie has some of the heaviest exposition I've ever seen. It felt dragged a lot of times. Not Andor-slow, rather just dragged and pointless. Characters explain things all the time, repeating and finishing each other's sentences. And even with so much info being said, it still sometimes gets unclear who the villain is or what motivation/goals they have.

3. We learn NOTHING about the Gabriel-Ethan relationship, which was teased so much in Part 1. Honestly, in the end, if Entity chose any other guy and not the one who happens to be Ethan's old enemy, nothing would've changed. Like absolutely nothing. What was the point of those flashbacks in Part 1? We have no idea what the situation was, who that woman was, why Gabriel killed her, or why Ethan was framed for it. It brings nothing new to Ethan's character. Also, Gabriel himself is boring. We know nothing about him, and if in theory, this could've been intimidating, in practice, it just makes him a poorly written villain. Why establish a detailed background and motivation for a character if we can just throw in the same flashback here and there and make Ethan panic when he sees him the first time in DR :) (I am not saying this franchise always had nuanced villains. It's an action blockbuster of all things. But Gabriel is just rock bottom.)

4. Final fight with Gabriel didn't feel earned or satisfying, because Gabriel is probably one of the most passive villains I've ever seen. He makes some bald statements and runs away the whole movie. And when he finally gets defeated, the scene itself is straight out of the comedy genre, in a film that otherwise tries to be obnoxiously serious.

5. Villains in this movie generally take minimal conscious action, so they do not feel intimidating or engaging. This is especially true of AI. It is hard to be afraid of it. AI enemy sounds cool on paper, but it doesn't really fit in Mission's formula. My concerns from watching DR were proven true. In the end, all we got was a race for an ultra-tech macguffin, which has to connect to other macguffin, which can be found by using another macguffin, only then to use the final macguffin at the right timing to defeat the Entity. Sounds stupid and boring? It is. That is the price for having the enemy you can't see in the media, where everything is based on seeing.

6. Yes, some villains from other iterations might not have been top-level, but at least the characters around Ethan made the movie engaging. This brings us to secondary characters in this movie. Paris... Pom Klementieff did a great job, but she did not have a lot to work with, unfortunately. We do not learn anything new about her. I really wanted to see her character developed in this movie, but it's just a sad mess, honestly.

7. Same goes for Degas. He showed signs of conscience, joined Ethan to save the world, and then completely disappeared from the plot.

8. There is just too many side characters, especially in the government and military. Most of them don't even have names. They are just plot vessels, not actual people.

9. Lite spoiler: In the film's first minutes, you get a montage of key moments from previous entries. That looked peak in the trailer, but watching it again in the actual movie felt very cheesy. I felt like watching a fan edit on TikTok, not a Hollywood blockbuster.

10. That ending... Probably the worst Mission ending ever. Extremely cliche and lacks emotion. I can't believe this is all they came up with, especially considering this is supposed to be the ending of a 30-year-long journey.

11. Probably the weakest soundtrack we got since MI3. Not a musician, so I won't be commenting on this, but subjectively it is definitely not as consistent and emotional as previous ones.

For me, this movie can be best described by my favourite quote from Arcane. In pursuit of the highest stakes possible, more characters than ever, and the longest, most extreme stunts, they failed to deliver the characters that make the audience care, stunts that feel natural inside the plot, and a villain who is actually intimidating.

I'm going to sound negative because to be honest i expected a lot more from this movie.

First of all the dialogue was unusually poor, i know that's not what the movie is for but it's noticeable and it broke the immersion for me. The beginning felt like an introduction, which might be necessary for first time mission impossible viewers, though quite repetitive for those who have seen Dead Reckoning. The flashbacks and flashforwards to explain the story was a lazy choice in my opinion and it was one the big negatives in this film. The whole story is constantly being explained leaving no room for mystery, some intrigue or some unpredictable moments. Actually it becomes almost annoying because the dialogue is just sloppy, leaving very little for the actors to work with. Fortunately some momentum is gained as the movie progresses, mainly from the stunts which are absolutely incredible and let's be honest, you probably won't find anything that comes close in any other type of media. Though this momentum doesn't last long because of all the explaining again and the bad guys seeming to be there only for show. What I'm trying to say is that Yes the action sequences are obviously the main selling point of MI but not the only one. An interesting story that keeps its viewers guessing is what separates an OK MI from a great MI. I don't know, maybe they messed up the editing? I think the writing was a problem, the whole thing seemed rushed.

I think i will just rewatch Fallout to feel good.

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning serves as the grandest and boldest farewell to arguably the greatest action franchise of all time. Yet, it lacks a true sense of finality.

The film shoulders a colossal burden, attempting to deliver a worthy goodbye to Ethan Hunt and the iconic franchise. It aims to provide satisfying conclusions to a bloated roster of side characters while also setting up inevitable cash-grab sequels. Additionally, it strives to outdo every previous installment by going bigger and bolder than ever. While it excels in some areas, it falters in others.

One of the film's biggest challenges is managing its vast ensemble of characters. The script occasionally struggles to balance them all, resulting in scenes where some characters randomly appear and disappear, seemingly out of convenience rather than logic. This inconsistency can be jarring, pulling the audience out of the experience.

In typical Mission Impossible fashion, the film promises the most spectacular set pieces yet-and it delivers. These grand, meticulously crafted action sequences are thrilling to watch. However, their constant back-to-back presence somewhat dampens their impact. Once the audience becomes accustomed to the relentless spectacle, the element of surprise and tension starts to wane.

The stunts, while still impressive, carry a bittersweet note. Unlike previous installments where Tom Cruise's daring feats were fully captured on camera, this time around, roughly half of the action scenes rely on noticeable green screen effects. Though understandable, given Cruise's age and safety precautions, it slightly detracts from the visceral thrill of witnessing genuine stunts, making the danger feel less real.

Performance-wise, this installment shines, particularly with Angela Bassett delivering one of the most emotionally charged portrayals in the franchise. The script's emphasis on deeper emotions allows for some of the finest acting moments in the series.

However, the editing feels somewhat sloppy, giving the impression that substantial material was left on the cutting room floor. While the brisk pacing keeps the film engaging, it sometimes feels as if we're only witnessing the start and end of scenes without the journey in between, leaving a sense of incompleteness. The cutting is fast, but not in an exhilarating manner-instead, it's disorienting.

If this truly is the final goodbye to the Mission Impossible series, it's been an unforgettable ride. Despite its flaws, the franchise remains the pinnacle of action cinema in my book, and its legacy will undoubtedly endure for generations. I've said this before, and I'll say it again: we are witnessing a master at craft. Cherish it while you can.

This message will self-destruct in five seconds.

Ignore the critics. This was an absolutely fun and super entertaining movie. It was long but never dragged. In fact from the moment I sat in my seat I was at the cinema for over 3 hours. But it never felt like that.

The climax with the bi-planes was superb and one of the best and most exciting action scenes I've ever seen.

For me, this was one of the best Mission Impossible films. Loved it. Have no idea why some of the critics have panned it. Then again what do they know? It's all about having fun on the big screen and this is exactly what Tom Cruise does best. He's an absolute master in it. Highly recommend!

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is a bit of a disappointment, coming off the particularly high highs of Fallout and Dead Reckoning. The stakes are heightened narratively, with the end of the world being imminent throughout, but you don't often feel the desperation; you're mostly just told about it. And that's one of the things that holds this film back. It's so weighed down in exposition and dialogue scenes that aren't necessarily that much worse than such scenes in the other films in the series, but they're inferior enough that they start to drag. And there's not enough action here, which feels weird to say. There needed to be one more set piece, preferably during the first hour, because this is a long movie and the first hour or more is honestly a bit dull. The funny banter was also much less funny, when they even attempted humor. It's kind of a dour movie, which makes sense with the stakes, but also, I didn't really feel those stakes. So I would've rather just had that usual breezy team chemistry and joke-making.

Speaking of stakes and showing things, I would've loved a set piece in a populated area? Or an action scene that felt more alive/crowded/in a place that felt real. In The Final Reckoning, there's an extended one with Cruise alone, one near the end (and on some of the posters for the film) involving some small planes, and then a handful of small shootouts and fist fights. There's nothing that's as big or as exciting as the whole train sequence in Dead Reckoning, and that film had some city action (plus a great car chase) and the whole airport scene. It's fresher in my mind than The Final Reckoning, even though I saw one two years ago and the other two hours ago. There's more tension and a feeling of danger when you can see civilization and bystanders, I think. And with everyone in the world being in danger because of the plot, it was weird to feel like no one (other than the main heroes and villains) was in danger during the action scenes.

The finale of this movie is smaller scale, but that sequence is a knockout. It's almost worth the price of admission, but you do have to slog through some dreary stuff beforehand. The end of the world is nigh, but mostly you just hear about it, or some high-ranking government officials discuss things in board/bored rooms (and some of those scenes feel like if they were pushed into territory that was any more over-dramatic, we'd have Dr. Strangelove-esque comedy).

The more I think about it, the more I realize this was kind of disappointing, even if I really loved the one big action scene that will, eventually, be the only thing I remember about this. I'm torn between like a 3/5 or a 3.5/5, and think I have to go more toward the former, just because this is too long for something with so little action. It needed to show more of the world, and we needed at least one sequence with more people and things in it. I feel like Dead Reckoning had about two or three times more great action than this, and the same can be said about Fallout. Dead Reckoning was a few minutes shorter, and Fallout was like half an hour shorter. Neither cost as much, but both felt more expensive. More bang for your buck watching those, and fewer bucks spent by the filmmakers to make them. The Final Reckoning feels pretty expensive, but not $300-400 million expensive.

They got a little lazy with The Final Reckoning. They didn't get lazy in the couple of particularly flashy scenes, but they needed more big scenes and they shouldn't have had the film feel so empty. Too much telling, not enough showing. The lack of a consistent villain throughout hurt - Gabriel was a compelling presence in Dead Reckoning, but he's not in this one as much, disappearing for long stretches at a time.

The Final Reckoning comes alive in parts. The plane stuff is thrilling. 90% of the movie, or maybe even a little more, fluctuates between being a tiny bit disappointing and very disappointing. I guess overall, I'm quite disappointed they couldn't keep the momentum going; these films had just kept getting better, from the second onwards, but no more.

This really will be the Final one, I Reckon. Can't see it turning a profit, either.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is bombastic to put it mildly, given all the fast-paced exposition and visually resounding action setpieces.

While after the Hitchcockian narrative of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, this concluding chapter somewhat may feel a bit inadequate - especially with all those lots of scenes in caves and lairs and prisons with no astoundingly risky turn - the highs are even higher than the lows seem lower. Let me tell you, everyone will be googling "Mission Impossible 8 submarine scene" a week for now.

The underwater chapter is indeed breathtaking and quite original piece of filmmaking and a nice addition to M:I franchise which saves the movie big time. That 20-minute sequence with submarine is perhaps the most original piece of action written for action-oriented narratives since 1996's Mission: Impossible's own aqua cafe sequence between Ethan and Kittdridge, directed brilliantly by Brian De Palma. The suspense as Ethan so assiduously tackled all those aquatic, James Cameron-isque challanges was palpable. The realism and authenticity added the rest.

Else, they have recycled tropes all over the place in order to pay homage - the gala which is rendered into a jail before the gathering itself is even exhibited - no fancy cars, garish costumes, stupendous decorum, dances, masks, bluetooth talk, etc. In here. I missed the trains as well.

And narratively, there also exists this thing called predictability, and it's here to stay in the movie - the biggest weakness of The Final Reckoning. The movie is, perhaps, the least memorable for its twists - or the lack thereof - when compared to all the other M:I movies in the franchise, probably tied with Mission: Impossible 2. But that's not to say it is bad, or average or even above average - no! It's hella great!!

In terms of action-based storytelling as well, this may seem like a step backwards from Mission: Impossible - Fallout. Most scenes, when considering the movie is nearly 3 hours long, is quite limited or superfluous otherwise. But all of that pays off in the final act, trust Mr. Cruise. Because that brings us to the biplane chase sequence.

After 150 minutes of absolutely no motorcycles and cars chasing each other, though plenty of Cruise sprinting, the red and yellow old-school biplanes going after each other in South African skies is something that should adequately feed all the ravenous audiences. It's suspenseful, it's engaging, it's REALLY dangerous; though the villainous Gabriel character is still bland and bad, like the previous entry.

The diversity, without throwing into our faces what their genders are, is probably the quintessential example of how these things should be done. Hannah Waddingham in charge of aircraft carrier was something that really paid off. I didn't like the "lady boy" person wearing that vest and donning horrible hairstyle in that submarine. Angela Bassett seemed a natural as a president and didn't feel forced to assume a masculine aura just because she's a female US President. Thanks to all the brilliant women in the movie to forsake that awful cliché line "you don't think a woman can do it" - you show them subtly rather than preaching non-stop about such superfluous substance like in some Marvel movie.

Overall, a decent enough Mission: Impossible movie but a brilliant actioner, nonetheless, given how the series has always fared when compared by Hollywood's standards. Kudos to Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie.

7.5/10.

It should be titled "Missing" Impossible. Everything you love about the MI franchise is gone. If you are expecting an espionage thriller, there are 7 other Mission Impossible movies for that. It isn't this. The story is convoluted and doesn't make sense. The editing is so choppy and doesn't feel cohesive. Taking place less than 2 months after the last movie, so much has changed that is never explained. How is so-and-so president all of a sudden when they weren't 2 months prior? How did that other character get into the state they are in? No explanation. The franchise should have ended with the last movie. This felt like it was all about Tom Cruise trying to prove to himself and others that he can still do this. What a disappointment!

Okay, so last night I read some initial reviews of the movie in my feed and all of them were calling it a dull movie, one of them even calling it worse of the franchise. So, today when I entered the cinema my expectations were not so high. But throughout the movie I kept wondering when will the dull part begin!

Instead, I got epic visuals, heartwarming human emotions, satisfying throwbacks for a long term MI fan. When the credit rolled I had nothing but respect for the makers, for the entire team, not just of this movie but for every movie since MI 1996.

Overall, it might not top Mission Impossible Fallout but it will stay equally memorable to me. It did its job well which is to conclude the franchise in a spectacular way, without going over the top with action (think of Fast and Furious franchise).

I surely liked it better than Dead Reckoning because there were more of likeable characters rather than annoying characters. It was like a bunch of good people coming together to fight a noble cause, something that was missing in the previous movie. Some people might find some of the scenes being too lengthy but I didn't mind all of the hard work being played a little longer than required. Watching Tom Cruise giving it his all was once again as thrilling as it was 25 (or so) years ago.

As the movie said: our lives are the sum of our choices. Watching this movie was one of the best choice I ever made. So, if you are an MI fan don't miss this in cinema. It's going to be memorable, it's going to be epic!

Quite a mixed bag.

Amazing stunt work but the first half of the movie really tests your patience before getting there.

The formula and sexy intro from 3,4,5,6 and even 7 is not here.

I get the impression they were disappointed with the box office from 7, saw Oppenheimer's success and hastingly tried to restructure what they had already filmed for 8 into a bizarre Mission Impossible - Oppenheimer mixture with a very Nolan-esque talking in riddles first half.

That's exactly what this is. And for me it does not work.

Bringing back ground characters back from previous MI movies, who cares?! Tying the entity to what we saw in MI3. Why? We already had the setup in Dead Reckoning? Why make it any more complicated?!

None of the epic / surprise set pieces such as the Kremlin bombing in Ghost Protocol are here. It very much needed something in the first 90 minutes, such as a nuke going off. Instead we are just told what the threat is and it goes on and on.

No Masks, no Ethan completely surprisingly outsmarting the bad guy. It needed something epic, which I was expecting (Ethan had to outsmart the Entity and be a step ahead according to Luther!) For example Elsa could have surprisingly made it and just faked her death or so (in the party club scene in DR we saw Gabriel knives - I thought Ethan may have swapped them for dummy ones or so, the tools were there to do this).

I'm not sure what they were thinking with this one.

A real shame. Too much talk and hardly any fun.

Worth seeing for the action.

But stick to 4,5,6 and 7 for the best of the Mission movies. Those are funny, action packed and have much more heart.

Lamest movie in the series, if not ever! I unfortunately spent money in the theatre to watch this so waste of time as well as money! I don't even want to waste any more words writing this review but unfortunately cannot post this until and unless it contains three hundred words so to sum up... Lamest movie ever!

A globe-trotting and pulse-pounding triumph. The Final Reckoning has its limitations and odd dramatic fixations, but it holds together as a massive cinematic experience filled with exhilarating, nail-biting, armrest-grabbing tension. Cementing its place as one of cinema's most consistent franchises, the film's breathtaking scale and death-defying stunts make for a blockbuster masterclass. Continuing Cruise and McQuarrie's intrepid crusade against the rising use of AI, it's hard not to enjoy the duo at home in their element, delivering yet more jaw-dropping stunts and globe-trotting adventure, overflowing with overly complex plot and escalating complication upon complication. In many ways, this is less an action film and more a disaster flick. Where worst-case scenarios were once implied, they are now visualised with apocalyptic projections. Gargantuan in action, runtime, and scope, The Final Recokoning completely embraces its grandiose nonsense. It acknowledges itself as huge, fun, silly, and emotionally rewarding, never attempting to restrain its exuberance, and we love it for that. A sentimental sendoff that accomplishes its mission with a characteristic flair for the impossible. Ethan can rest easy now. Mission accomplished Tom.

The selling point of MI movies has always been crystal clear: action. Big, loud, pulse-pounding ACTION. The fun, the adrenaline, the jaw-dropping stunts - Tom Cruise defying death like he's auditioning for a Red Bull commercial. That's what we come for. And yet, bafflingly, the first truly decent action set piece in Final Reckoning doesn't show up until 80 minutes in. Eighty minutes!

What comes before that? Clunky exposition, lazy flashbacks, and a nostalgia-soaked checklist of memberberries that feel more obligatory than earned. The pacing limps along for over an hour, weighed down by self-serious dialogue and characters repeating plot points we already know.

Even the ending, both in terms of action and its LOTR-style drawn-out goodbyes, feels underwhelming and emotionally hollow. The only sequence that truly delivered was the submarine set piece-but let's be honest, 10-15 solid minutes can't rescue an almost 3-hour movie from mediocrity.

I'm honestly so disappointed. Dead Reckoning: Part One was smart, slick, and thrilling from start to finish - which makes the mediocrity of its direct sequel all the more frustrating. Final Reckoning feels less like a grand finale and more like a franchise on autopilot.

This is, without a doubt, one of the weakest entries in the series-only narrowly edging out John Woo's mess.

This is such a gripping movie. Every sec of stunts is a benchmark in itself. You can't take your eye of the theater screen. It reminds me of why theaters worth going. Just like the last train action in last mission impossible movie this one peaked it in every seat gripping instance. And Tom Cruise truly is the last living star in Hollywood. You can easily see how much he is passionate about these movies with nothing left on the table for later. Also the story is heart touching and made the action scenes totally worthy time to time in the movie. You must watch this one it theaters to really appreciate the movie.

Starting with M:I:7, my reaction to the villain being this nebulous online entity was kind of weak. The convoluted story starts to get over-the-top campy like a big Bond film. And of course what's always at stake is nothing less than the end of the world "As we know it" (Yes somebody actually says that cliché phrase). We get into camp territory when Cruise get's in some chamber and talks to the "Entity". It reminded me of Terminator Salvation, which had the embodiment of AI as a face (á la Wizard of Oz). For me, that's the moment we enter cartoonland, and the feeling of real peril for our heroes subsides.

Somewhere the principle purpose for this kind of film got lost in the filmmakers. We are here to see fun and inventive action sequences (or dynamic machinations of the plot). The filmmakers thought that by adding MacGuffin after MacGuffin, puzzle piece by puzzle piece, audiences would enjoy the plot even more. For me it was the opposite. M:I:7 started this whole mess, it ran 2 hours and 43 minutes, and that was only part 1. Now we are so much up to our neck in puzzle pieces that M:I:8 needs to spend the first hour just to explain it all.

When the opposite thing should happen. I found at least three times after the film began that you could easily chop off a ton of the unnecessary exposition and literally cut to the chase. The filmmakers don't trust audiences to leapfrog over fluffy filler, and forces them to be spoonfed why we need to be concerned about one person or object after another. I realised later the plot was overwritten because of the dozens of characters we are supposed to keep track of. They all had to been something to do. The lady on the aircraft carrier, the guy from Parks and Recreation, Hayley Atwell and whatever she is supposed to be doing, the guy from Boardwalk Empire, and his cohort, the side characters keep piling up. The bad guy who looks like James Coburn never felt threatening enough to be memorable. Just compare to Philip Seymour Hoffman's wonderfully disturbing performance in M:I:3.

So why bother with two hours of drivel when what we really came to see was the action? If this review was purely about how good the action scenes are then it would be a glowing review. Nobody denies that Tom Cruise rules the action universe by doing his own stunts and not compromising on complexity or difficulty. They are stunning and absolutely fun to watch.

Marvel recently acknowledged how overbloated these tentpole films have become by releasing "Thunderbolts", clocking in just over 2 hours. M:I:8 runs an exhausting 2 hours and 49 minutes. One thing I will be forever grateful however, is that the composer laid to rest the "bom bom ba ba bom bom, ba ba bom bom" punchy theme from the original Mission Impossible TV show. After using that refrain time after time across three decades, it was becoming painful being forced to drill that theme it into my head again and again.

So ultimately it pains me to rain on what has been a better franchise (compared to the likes of Fast and Furious), which was starting to overstay it's welcome. Perhaps a reboot will be successful, but for now, like the Bond franchise, it needs a rest. 6 out of 10. Points off for bloated exposition, the misguided idea that adding more and more makes it better, the cartoonish aspects of the plot, and the fact that Tom Cruise decided to push the franchise beyond it's life expectancy.

Simply amazing action film. I'm a sucker for mission imposisble movies and this one was a cherry on top. Watched it in Imax and the sound effects were making me genuinely stress out during all the high action scenes. Although characters and their developments aren't focused on in films like these except the few recurring ones, it is still thoroughly enjoyable and every actor performs very well. All the simultaneous pressure and "very last moment" is very mission impossible but I love it, some people might find it a bit repetitive, but I think its the charm of the movies. All the tie ins, all the thought and love gone into this film is very apparent. Very high quality.

As both parts of the final film in the Mission Impossible franchise were shot back to back, I can't understand the marketing decision to release the 2 chapters 2 years apart. Having said that, the opening- again - was a masterpiece: fast, entertaining, suspenseful. What followed thereafter was 1 hour too long. They just stretched the final action scene endlessly and the White House/ Pentagon scenes were too pompous and too long. One could have made the film so much better and more entertaining by cutting A LOT of scenes. However the movie was still fun, but by far not the best of the series. All actors were excellent, the action scenes were the stars, as usual. Unfortunately many dialogues sounded like the were written by "the entity" aka KI.

WOW! Went to the preview screening yesterday and I'm still blown away!!! This has to be the BEST action movie I've seen in years! Seriously, it's right up there with the all-time greats.

If you can, DEFINITELY see this in IMAX! Trust me, it's worth every penny. Tom Cruise actually came out before the movie started to talk to us and said they did everything possible to give us viewers an amazing experience - and they totally delivered!

The submarine scene?? INSANE!!! I don't even know how they filmed it, but it was some of the coolest stuff I've ever seen on screen. You literally feel like you're right there in every scene. The whole movie is filmed in this super cool way that's different from most action movies.

The acting was awesome too! Everyone did such a great job. The whole movie just grabs you from the start and doesn't let go until the end. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!

I can't recommend this enough! If you like action movies AT ALL, you HAVE to see this! The new Mission Impossible is just incredible and seeing it in IMAX makes it even better.

This is one of those movies that reminds you why going to theaters is still so awesome. Definitely going to see it again when it comes out!!

This movie successfully concluded this 30-year-old franchise. The action was superb but not over-the-top. There are a lot of characters from the past that being brought back naturally, which I feel is a nice touch. It serves their purpose and doesn't feel out of place or forced. However, not all are to my liking - the twist wasn't as impressive as previous movies and the plot felt a bit linear and thin. It's almost 3 hours so I feels like a road trip rather than a roller coaster. Despite this, I enjoyed the ride and it reminded me of what MI is really about: "We live and die in the shadows, for those we hold close, and those we never meet."

There are no words which can describe this masterpiece. This movie has a complete different approach compared to other films in franchise. The tone has alot of emotional and serious weightage with end of the world crisis as well farewell for Ethan hunt. It has one of the most incredibly dynamic under water and aerial stunts, edge of the seat moments. Some answers questioned from previous films and throwback nostalgia returning characters makes it a delightful and heartwarming for fans. It was a sad, beautiful but hopeful goodbye to tom as hunt. One of the most powerful finale movies in the world. Cried throughout the movie. Real fans will love it.

Hats off to Agent Cruise, the only man who can make my heart race that fast. His 40-year dedication to extreme, practical stunts is why the MI saga holds an elevated position in action cinema. Whether his return to underwater sequences or clinging to a moving plane at 140 mph, Cruise really is the last man standing against CGI other than Nolan. Just for the action scenes, Final Reckoning deserves to be watched in an IMAX theater, preferably with comfortable seating options unless you want a backache from all the clenching.

But, there's always a but, the movie's storytelling is much worse than its prequel. The first hour of the film is surfeited with explanatory dialogue and contextualization, which becomes quite frustrating pacing-wise. Stylistically, there's also a superfluous amount of frontal close-ups and Dutch angles, which are really cheap choices for an epic finale. I loved the Entity in Part One because its mission remains unclear even to the end, but this movie blows that setup and we're again relying on one hero to save us from nuclear armageddon. To double down on that decision, the film spends its entirety adding stakes to this supposed world destruction by using countdowns numerous times and allowing the gloomy tension to pervade every scene, as the story is so self-serious it becomes too heavy and hard to immerse in.

In conclusion, The Final Reckoning is complete, it does bring back the nostalgia, but has a bit of issue executing its ambition.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a very long time. It is filled with pointless scenes that add nothing to the story, making it frustrating to watch. Most disappointing of all, it feels like an insult to Tom Cruise's career, which deserves far better than to be linked with such a poorly made film.

This is easily one of the most anticipated films of the year-and for good reason. After nearly 30 years of explosive action, daring stunts, and intricate spy plots, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning may just be the final chapter in Ethan Hunt's legendary journey. And if it truly is the end, then what a powerful and heartfelt send-off it is.

While it might not have the jaw-dropping, death-defying moment like the motorcycle jump off a cliff from Dead Reckoning Part 1-performed by Tom Cruise himself-The Final Reckoning delivers in other, equally meaningful ways. The story is packed with callbacks to previous Mission: Impossible films, cleverly weaving together a narrative that pays tribute to its roots. The return of William Donloe and flashes of Ethan from the early days (when Cruise was just 33) to now, at nearly 63, serve as a powerful reflection of time, dedication, and transformation.

Amazingly, Tom Cruise still moves with the energy and intensity of someone half his age. His iconic sprint scenes are as thrilling as ever, and his commitment to physical performance continues to impress. Sure, the plot-like most spy thrillers-requires some suspension of disbelief. The odds are often impossibly small. But honestly? I didn't care. I was thoroughly entertained.

Beyond the action, what stood out was the emotional depth. We see just how much Ethan cares for his team. The bond they share feels more like a family than a crew. The loss of Ilsa is heartbreaking, but it's handled with grace, and it adds real emotional weight. There are also moments of intelligent humor that bring lightness to the tension, making the 2-hour 49-minute runtime feel surprisingly brisk.

The franchise began by staying close to its TV roots, where every member of the team had a special skill and no one outshined the others. At times, that format felt a little flat. But as the films evolved, so did the characters-and the emotional stakes. The introduction of Ethan's wife in Fallout added a new layer of humanity, and in this film, the emergence of new faces makes you wonder if a new team could one day carry on the legacy-even without Ethan.

All in all, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is a phenomenal conclusion to one of the greatest action franchises of all time. It's thrilling, emotional, and packed with everything fans have come to love. If this really is the end, then they've ended it in the best possible way.
