Tom Cruise is doing Tom Cruise things (hanging from the wing of a biplane, for instance) in the latest — and likely last — installment of the 30-year Mission: Impossible movie franchise. As the deadly AI from the last movie gains more and more power, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his team (Simon Pegg, Hayley Atwell, and Ving Rhames) have to go rogue once more to stop it. They have the tool to shut it down forever, but getting past its defenses will not be easy, or without cost.
With this series and this team, you know it’s going to be a thrill-ride. Your mission, should you accept it, is to enjoy yourself — it should be anything but impossible.
“Final Reckoning is a noble exemplar of a dying breed: the big, dumb, fun action blockbuster with a bona fide movie star at its center, putting it all on the line—and hanging on for dear life—just to keep us at the edge of our theater seats.” -Dana Stevens, Slate
“With Cruise and McQuarrie at their best, this is one of the most exciting action thrillers of the year. With series-best stunts and well-earned emotional stakes, this may be the best time you’ll have at the cinema this summer” -Linda Marric, HeyUGuys
“It’s amazing to look at and pure, heart-racing entertainment from start to finish.” -Stephen Romei, The Australian
“An entire generation has grown up learning what a movie is from “Mission: Impossible”… Cruise has taught them that it isn’t a conglomeration of CGI pixels or green-screen fakery, but something of genuine awe and, at its best, sublime artistry.” -Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
“Final Reckoning is flat-out ridiculous, but it’s a model example of blockbuster entertainment at its most highly polished, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, despite its clichés, extravagant violence and gung-ho militarism.” -Manohla Dargis, New York Times
“Two stunt pieces in Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning had me gripping the arm of my chair and realizing I hadn’t exhaled in over a minute.” -Amanda Luberto, Arizona Republic
“It’s thrilling, funny, absurd in the best way. It’s pure spectacle, and that’s the entire reason these movies exist.” -Karl Quinn, Sydney Morning Herald
“A competent, smart, expensive and sometimes thrilling action movie.” -Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
“Although if The Final Reckoning is indeed at hand, you couldn’t ask for a better death-defying, free-falling, edge-of-your-dang-seat sendoff.” -Brian Truitt, USA Today
“Even by the series’ own now well-established standards, this widely presumed last entry in Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible franchise is an awe-inspiringly bananas piece of work.” -Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK)
“A thrilling jolt of pure summer fun.” -Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will open at The Clyde on Friday, June 6, and play Friday, Saturday, Sunday, & Monday at 7:30.
