Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning (2025) is a self-indulgent, long, homage to himself and re-contextualizing of his previous MI films. Stuck too much in the past, the film is underwhelming, boring and predictable.
Damn! Melodrama in an espionage thriller is a 3-hour endurance test! The first 90 minutes has hardly any action sequences. All talk. Lot of sermonizing!
Those rubber mask-reveals, gadgets, high-octane chases, seen in earlier MI films are seriously missing in this film.
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) lacks energy and charisma compared to his previous films and instead of having control of the situation, seems to be powerless and over emotional most of the times.
Nevertheless, at 62 years, Tom Cruise certainly deserves wholesome praise for performing his own stunts. But they don't really cut any ice for action movie lovers. The much-hyped plane and underwater sequences are just about average. Nothing breathtaking or jaw dropping. Repetitive.
I was expecting them to tie up the loose ends from Dead Reckoning (2023), but no!
Too many action pieces keep happening parallelly at the same time. So Writer & Director Christopher McQuarrie does a Nolan, by going for Inception-like jump cuts from one stunt to the other repeatedly. It doesn't work here.
The main drawback of this film is there is no proper villain. The real villain of the film is nostalgia!
By re-contextualizing Tom Cruise's previous MI films they turned it into a grand mess. Why is this a problem? Because these movies were originally not conceived in that way, making the screenplay clumsily fall over itself in order to present this as a cohesive story. The crossover storytelling technique of Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't work here. When Bond's past is probed in Spectre (2018) it feels genuine. Probing into Ethan Hunt's past is a mess here.
All the actors go thro' their motions with zero relatability. Poor acting, cringey expressions, poor make-up, poor costumes, poor settings, poor action sequences, poor VFx...!

Ethan Hunt has to confront a sentient 'Entity'!
'Dead reckoning' is a navigational term and is the process of calculating the current position of a moving object by using a previously determined position.
Basically, an AI-based 'The Entity' created by U. S. Intelligence to infiltrate foreign enemies goes rogue. (~like Covid-19 strain!) The source code to control this 'Entity' is implanted in a lost Russian submarine that can only be unlocked by an interlocking 'cruciform key'. So Ethan Hunt needs to recover both halves of the key before the oligarchists do!
It's a good storyline. But Writer & Director Christopher McQuarrie disappoints with an all too predictable narrative. The film never really takes off at all.
Except for Tom Cruise everybody else in the film simply go through their motions with zero relatability. Poor acting, cringey expressions, poor make-up, poor costumes, poor settings, poor action sequences, poor VFx...!
I never expected action sequences to be so poor. As a fan of MI franchise, it's a big let down! None of the action sequences give you any 'high'. In fact, some of them are pretty badly choreographed and lackadaisical. Tom Cruise certainly deserves wholesome praise and appreciation for riding off a cliff at his age! But frankly, you cannot connect with this stunt either!
Tom Cruise is a brand. Mission Impossible franchise sells on his name! But in recent years, Hollywood has become too predictable and seems to be losing its edge in visual storytelling?
Only Tom Cruise salvages this film to a large extent single-handedly. But, for how long can he charm his way through, in a 163-minute film, all alone? Other actors really had to step-up, and they never do!
Nevertheless, i'd still watch the Part Two in theaters for sure, when it releases!

Marathi film Jhimma is a lighthearted women-centric film! It's all about: Feelings, Freedom and Fête! A goodwatch
Slowly, we are all losing our zeal to enjoy our lives allowing ourselves to get trapped in endless cycles. There will always be needs to be met, wants to be nourished, desires to be fulfilled, memories to be cherished, dreams to be dreamt, bills to pay, clothes to wash, cobwebs to dust, reports to prepare, targets to meet, take care of folks who depend on us; and yet somehow, we need to find a way to experience life for what it is without any fear. Somehow!
(...if i knew it, i'd share my gyaan with you).
"We have two lives; the second begins when we realise we only have one" - Confucius 550 B. C. And so... 7 women from different age groups and different socio-cultural backgrounds come together and go on a vacation to England. Of course they all carry their own issues and a lot of baggage to their trip. But the 10-day vacation, provides them an opportunity to mend fences, heal old and new wounds, fall in love with life and combat their worst fears.
Jhimma is all about taking a re-look at our own lives with a fresh and new perspective! It's good writing by Iravati Karnik supported by good acting with good chemistry. The film follows a lot of clichés, but it's still worth a watch. A good entertainer.
