Critics React to ‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’

Tom Cruise’s final film in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, is set to hit theaters on Memorial Day weekend. The film, directed by Christopher McQuarrie with a budget nearing $400 million, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday, receiving a five-minute standing ovation. The movie picks up a few months after the events of 2023’s Dead Reckoning, with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the Imf team on a mission to stop Gabriel Martinelli (Esai Morales) from accessing a world-ending rogue artificial intelligence known as “The Entity.” The cast also includes Simon Pegg, Angela Bassett, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Henry Czerny, and Pom Klementieff.
As of Thursday, The Final Reckoning holds an 82 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It will be released on May 23 by Paramount, the same day as the live-action Lilo & Stitch. Both films are expected to dominate Memorial Day box office sales.
