The Mission: Impossible saga is set to return with what's being billed as its final installment, "The Final Reckoning." Yet, given Tom Cruise's commitment to filmmaking well into his 100s and the Oscars' introduction of a stunt category the year following this film's eligibility, it's hard to believe this will truly be the last. Nonetheless, a potential finale to such an iconic action franchise merits celebration, especially with Cruise's well-known passion for the cinematic experience.
Following 2023's "Dead Reckoning," IGN's review highlights Ethan Hunt's continued high-stakes adventures as he battles "The Entity," risking life and limb to protect millions. Expect an abundance of thrilling stunts, many executed by Cruise himself, alongside nods to the franchise's rich history.
For those eager to catch "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" in theaters, the film premieres on Friday, May 23. You can find showtimes at major theater chains like Fandango, AMC Theaters, Cinemark Theaters, Regal Theaters, and Alamo Drafthouse.
