When it comes to adapting a story from one medium to another, few translations have suffered as greatly as those made from video games. There are some truly terrible video game movie and television adaptations, so fans were nervous when it was announced that there would be a "Fallout" streaming series created by Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, with the first three episodes directed by "Westworld" co-creator Jonathan Nolan. Thankfully, the people behind the show seem to fully comprehend what makes the "Fallout" series of games so great, from the absolutely brutal and outrageous violence to its pitch-black but cheeky sense of humor.
The first season of "Fallout" was stellar, following the fresh-faced and hilariously optimistic vault dweller Lucy (Ella Purnell), a mysterious irradiated man known as "the Ghoul" (Walton Goggins), and a lost squire with the Brotherhood of Steel...

The release of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning marks the culmination of the biggest undertaking of Tom Cruise’s professional career. Regardless or whether or not it turns out to be the last entry into the series, and Ethan Hunt’s final mission, it wraps up an epic two-film storyline. By the time it hits theatres, it will have taken up a full five years of Cruise’s career, with him working on little else since the first of the two films, Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning, started production in 2020. And, with us having seen the new film last week, we can confirm that it’s a direct continuation of the previous film’s storyline. With so much riding on this movie, now is a good time to look back at the last entry, which, despite the best efforts of everyone involved, failed to live up to expectations at the box office,...

For a franchise built on secrets, Mission: Impossible just dropped one of its best. Tucked deep in the chaos, between the explosions, disguises, and rooftop sprints, was a quiet little Easter egg that did more than tease a twist. It whispered a promise. A certain clue, planted years ago, that one star was always meant to return.
Tom Cruise said it all in a recent interview – this subtle nod proves that one star’s return was destiny, coded right into the mission. The best part: Most fans missed it entirely… until now.

We're about to see a heck of lot more video game movies. The superhero genre, which proved to be Hollywood's most powerful weapon in wrenching kids away from their iPads and YouTube for more than a decade, is waning. Meanwhile, the industry continues its struggle to adapt to the streaming age in a pandemic era where people are really only attending the multiplex for event films. But with "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" becoming one of the highest-grossing films ever and "A Minecraft Movie" also crushing it at the box office, it seems video games are the new superheroes.
"Five Nights at Freddy's," the "Sonic" movies, and even "Fallout" and "The Last of Us" on the TV side of things. This is the new era we find ourselves in, where video game IP becomes the new font for all Hollywood's ideas. But this is very much the reverse of how...

When you think of action franchises that actually get better over time, Mission: Impossible is right at the top. What kicked off back in 1996 as a sleek little spy caper has turned into an adrenaline-fueled, globe-trotting rollercoaster. And somehow, each movie keeps raising the bar like it’s trying to outdo itself with more stunts, more chaos, more Tom Cruise defying death just because he can.
Now, with Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning officially out in the world (and clocking in at a wild 3+ hours), Cruise is going all in for what’s shaping up to be Ethan Hunt’s biggest and possibly last ride. It’s long, it’s intense, and it’s got everyone talking.

Tom Cruise continued his global press tour for “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” as the mega movie star stopped by the film’s New York premiere on Sunday evening.
“This story is a culmination of the last 30 years,” Cruise told the packed crowed at AMC Lincoln Square, which boasts one of the best Imax screens in the country. “It’s been about seven years since we started talking about [‘Dead Reckoning – Part One’], and McQ wanted to make two of them. I was like, ‘You want to make two‘?”
McQ is Cruise’s nickname for Christopher McQuarrie, who directed 2023’s “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” and its sequel — originally titled “Dead Reckoning – Part Two” but later renamed “The Final Reckoning.” This chapter picks up as Cruise’s operative Ethan Hunt continues his race against time to find a rogue artificial intelligence known as the Entity.

While long-running mainstream franchises tend to become a shell of their former selves the longer they go on, in that regard, Mission: Impossible has been an anomaly. Although the franchise did struggle with its sequel and threequel, 2010’s Ghost Protocol propelled the franchise into a new era.

Many notable actors like Jon Voight, Henry Cavill, and Philip Seymour Hoffman have played antagonists in the Mission: Impossible movies. Coming into Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, it was not easy for the makers to introduce a new memorable villain to their iconic roster.
Although Esai Morales’ Gabriel is not even close to the names mentioned earlier, Dead Reckoning did a fairly decent job with its antagonist. By connecting Gabriel to Ethan Hunt’s past, the makers could elevate the emotional stakes in Hunt’s final outing beyond a giant world-ending event.

Every gaming legend starts somewhere, and Todd Howard’s story begins with an old Apple computer, a broken game, and a dream. Long before Skyrim or Starfield, he was just a curious kid trying to figure out how games worked. Today, he’s the creative force behind Bethesda, the minds behind some of gaming’s most iconic titles.
Walk into his office and you’ll find relics from his journey: an Atari joystick controller, a hand-drawn map, and a love for world-building that never faded. Now, after becoming part of Microsoft, Bethesda is bigger than ever, but the heart of it all is still Todd, quietly looking to build something unforgettable.

Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning took on the impossible task of connecting (almost) every element of its 30-year-old franchise with its supposedly concluding installment in an emotionally satisfying way. I don’t know about everyone else, but I think Christopher McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen pulled it off with flying colors. I mean, Tom Cruise helmed this series with the intention of bringing in a new director for every film, thereby making the ultimate product look like a patchwork quilt of action filmmaking. So, apart from recurring characters and throwaway mentions, you never really needed to do any homework before getting your mission briefing.
But after Ghost Protocol, and especially since McQuarrie took the reins, that homework became a bit of a necessity. And since The Final Reckoning demanded a lot from the audience in terms of knowledge of previous films, it got a little exposition-heavy and spoon-feed-y in the beginning.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning features some of the most mind-blowing stunts ever seen on film as Tom Cruise pushes his limits in the action franchise's potential swansong. While Cruise puts himself through the wringer in the sequel, co-star Angela Bassett claims there's only one stunt she was willing to do upon her franchise return, something fans can relate to.
Speaking with People about The Final Reckoning, Bassett teased a "thrilling" Mission: Impossible sequel as she was impressed by the intense action sequences filmed by Cruise and how much he and his team put into making them believable. “It’s thrilling, the stuff that they do,” she said. “It’s just mind-blowing.”
However, Bassett has no fear of missing out syndrome when she sees the death-defying stunts being pulled off, sticking to simpler on-screen tasks. “Absolutely not. I definitely don’t have Fomo [the fear of missing out],” she said. “My only stunt is walking.

Tom Cruise is back, and boy, is he back with a banger. After 25 long years, his run in the Mission: Impossible franchise might well be coming to an end, but the last film is far from a disappointment, as the early reviews are saying.
As Ethan Hunt, Cruise has become the face of a series that redefined the action genre, delivering iconic moments like the Burj Khalifa climb, the famous driving the bike off the cliff stunt, and the Halo jump. Now, Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning, the eighth and reportedly the last film for Cruise, promises to close Ethan Hunt’s saga with a bang.
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film picks up right after 2023’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and introduces new stakes, including a daring underwater mission.

Amazon Upfront's Fallout season 2 teaser trailer dives deeper into Walton Goggins' pre-ghoul role with Vault-Tec and teases the New Vegas setting. The upfront presentation was held on Monday, May 12, in New York City and came with the debut of trailers for prominent 2025 projects. In addition to the teaser trailer, Amazon announced that Fallout has been renewed for season 3, and that season 2 is expected to premiere in December 2025, continuing the stories of Lucy, The Ghoul, Maximus, Hank, and more.
The teaser trailer for Fallout season 2 begins with the text "Stay tuned for a special Vault-Tec presentation," before counting down to a series of clips featuring Goggins as a pre-apocalypse Cooper Howard. He is joined by actor Amy Acker, who serves as Cooper's assistant as he is pushed to film Vault-Tec advertisements for familiar Fallout products like Nuka-Cola and Atomic Sunscreen. Finally, the trailer wraps up with another...

Season 1 was an absolute blast (literally). We followed sweet-but-deadly Lucy as she left the safety of Vault 33 and stepped into a post-nuke Los Angeles that was equal parts chaotic, crusty, and somehow still hilarious. Along the way, she crossed paths with Maximus, a Brotherhood of Steel soldier with more baggage than a Super Mutant, and The Ghoul, the world’s most terrifying cowboy with a heart buried somewhere deep under 200 years of radiation.
With wild twists, gruesome reveals, and that jaw-dropping finale, Fallout didn’t just live up to the hype — it nuked it.
And now that Season 2 is in the can, we’ve got one big question: what’s next? There are whispers of New Vegas, even crazier factions, and some surprise new faces on the way. If Season 1 was the tutorial, Season 2 might just be the real boss fight.

We have stayed patient through the rumors, the stalled development, and everything else in between, but now, the live-action Gears of War movie is finally real. Originally announced in 2022, Netflix’s ambitious adaptation of the iconic Xbox franchise is now moving forward with a major name in the director’s chair.
David Leitch, director of The Fall Guy and Bullet Train, is in negotiations to helm the project. Not only that, we’re also getting a spectacular writer, and The Coalition, developers of the games, will also be involved.

There has been a notable shift in movie star culture in the last few decades, as the phenomenon of selling a movie on an actor’s face value is no longer as prevalent. Barring someone like Tom Cruise, who still has the power to sell a movie on his name alone, major studios have started focusing on IP-driven releases as a result since the 2010s.
While in the ’80s or even ’90s, an actor of Henry Cavill’s stature alone would be enough to ensure a movie’s success at the box office, face value alone no longer cuts it. This might explain why Lionsgate is reportedly eyeing abandoning Cavill’s upcoming feature.

The summer movie season has gotten off to a relatively slow start, with Marvel's "Thunderbolts*" doing okay-but-not-great business (especially by Marvel standards). Things are going to pick up with the release of "Final Destination Bloodlines," but the true coming out party for the year's biggest moviegoing season is just around the corner. Disney's live-action "Lilo & Stitch" and Paramount's "Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning" are both hitting theaters over Memorial Day weekend, offering up the year's biggest box office showdown. The question is, who comes out on top?
Domestically, it's going to be no contest. "Lilo & Stitch" is currently expected to bring in between $105 and $124 million across the weekend, which doesn't even count the Monday holiday, per Box Office Theory. Meanwhile, Tom Cruise's allegedly final "Mission: Impossible" is eyeing an opening between $59 and $67 million. That's right in line with earlier estimates, which had "Lilo & Stitch" doing...

Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning could be the final time Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie work together on the titular action series. But as the lead actor and director prepare to unveil the eighth Mission: Impossible movie, they're also sharing how they've developed a strong creative partnership that goes beyond the acclaimed franchise.
Speaking as a surprise guest at a Cannes Film Festival masterclass celebrating McQuarrie (via Deadline), Cruise compared the director to a "Swiss watch," hailing his ability to clock into the intricacies of storytelling and add layers to the characters he presents on-screen. “I’ve studied his career before we met. I read his scripts, and I think that the thing that we always talk about when I read his scripts was you could hear it. You can see it. I felt the filmmakers’ mind in the story, the craftsmanship of his work, where he’s writing it editorially,...

Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Stands At 87% Rotten Tomatoes Score So Far(Photo Credit –YouTube)
The time for reckoning has arrived for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, as its review embargo has lifted at the Cannes Film Festival, and accumulated scores from critics are now available on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.
The eighth Mission: Impossible spectacle starring Tom Cruise is largely believed to be the final entry in Hollywood’s most acclaimed spy-action franchise. The stakes could not be higher after seven years of back-to-back production and an accumulated $700 million budget for this and Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning (via The Numbers).

As of this writing, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning has an approval rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a strong score, though not quite as high as the film's predecessor, as Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One has a score of 96%.

However, The Final Reckoning is still scored significantly higher than the first three films, which are respectively rated at 65%, 57%, and 71%.

The Rotten Tomatoes score for Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning has been revealed. Picking up from the cliffhanger ending of the seventh installment, which sees Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt and team chasing a foe and a rogue A.I. "The Entity," the new movie, which will arrive in theaters on May 23, finds him in a precarious position, being targeted by government authorities.
Now, the first reviews of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning are in, with the movie debuting at 88% critics' approval on Rotten Tomatoes from 74 reviews, placing the movie in the middle in comparison to the rest of the franchise. Widely considered the franchise's last entry, critics have praised Cruise's stunts and the edge-of-your-seat plot, but some expressed mixed feelings towards the odd balance between nostalgia and the lack of closure.

Fallout was renewed in the blink of an eye in its premiere year, 2024. The Prime Video video game adaptation was released in full on April 10, 2024, and its renewal was announced just eight days later on April 18.

Tom Cruise said goodbye to the “Mission: Impossible” franchise in electrifying fashion at the Cannes Film Festival, where “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” earned a five-minute ovation thanks in part to Cruise’s commitment to putting breathless and death-defying practical stunts on the big screen. The Cannes premiere was a massive event, with a 40-piece orchestra welcoming guests into the theater with the franchise’s iconic theme before the screening.
The audience lapped up the film’s special effects but the long run-time left some theatergoers bleary-eyed and exhausted. In the final stretch of the film, featuring death-defying acrobatics from Cruise, a handful of attendees got up and fled the Palais.
Though Cruise’s willingness to risk his life for “Mission: Impossible” has been covered relentlessly, what the Cannes audience did not expect was how much he was willing to bare all.

It never occurred to me while I was watching “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” that when Alec Baldwin declared Tom Cruise — I’m sorry, I mean “Ethan Hunt” — to be “the living manifestation of destiny” that I was watching something subtle. But compared to the endless procession of Cruise-aggrandizing speeches in “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” that’s exactly what it was.
These “Mission: Impossible” movies have always been odd ducks as far as movie franchising goes. The original film introduced a team of memorable characters, just like the show, but killed them off immediately, including the series’ only consistent hero, Jim Phelps. It then declared Jim Phelps to be the real villain, and made a hitherto unknown new character the star. Try getting away with that in a Batman movie sometime and see how far it gets you.

What will seemingly be the last chapter in Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible franchise, The Final Reckoning, will hit theaters everywhere next weekend. After playing Ethan Hunt for nearly 30 years, Cruise has found ways to one-up himself each time he suits up as the legendary spy, and The Final Reckoning will certainly be no different. One of the most famous shots from the film’s marketing campaign sees Cruise hanging off the wings of a biplane soaring through the air, which is one of the most dangerous stunts in movie history. Mission: Impossible 8 director Christopher McQuarrie recently sat down for an interview with GQ, and he revealed that expert wing walkers told Cruise his plane stunt was impossible:
"They said, ‘What do you want to do?’ And Tom said, ‘I want to be between the wings of the plane holding on to the tension wires, and I want to...

Angela Bassett addresses how Erika Sloane went from the CIA to being the President of the United States in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. Bassett's character was a major player in 2018's Mission: Impossible - Fallout as a former director of the CIA. Last seen succeeding Alan Hunley as the Secretary of Imf, Sloane was notably missing from the cast of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning. However, the new trailer has confirmed her return in the upcoming Tom Cruise-headlined movie.
In an interview with ScreenRant, Bassett explains how Sloane became the President in the eighth Mission: Impossible movie. She shares that Erika Sloane, who has "met everybody" and has the "perspective of protecting the US from the outside," has a very "good skillset."With the movie's plot dealing with a bigger conspiracy in a government agency, she teased that Sloane might be Ethan's only chance at survival.

Wamg’s St. Louis and Los Angeles teams attended the screening of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning on Monday evening. Starring Tom Cruise and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the last film ended on a literal cliffhanger, having just survived a vast locomotive plunging off a bridge, Ethan Hunt and his fellow Imf team members – Ving Rhames’ Luther, Simon Pegg’s Benji, and converts to the cause, Grace, played by Hayley Atwell – face an uncertain future.
St. Louis writer Jim Batts first reaction out of the early preview was “Tom Cruise and his cast, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, along with a talented behind-the-camera crew, once again take movie audiences on a spectacular around-the-globe “thrill-ride”, combining a “ripped-from-the-headlines” plot with some of the most amazing action stunt sequences ever committed to film. From a sunken submarine search to a breathtaking bi-plane battle, this fantastic film is a superior entry in the nearly thirty-year-old franchise.

Hey Todd Howard: Fallout New Vegas Remake Using Unreal Engine 5 Already Has 644,000 Views on YouTube

One can’t deny that Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was done in an incredible fashion. It’s proven to be a huge success for both Microsoft and Bethesda. Rumors suggest that Todd Howard and his team might similarly tackle Fallout 3 next, but gamers can’t understand why Fallout: New Vegas isn’t receiving the same love.
Seriously, New Vegas is the pinnacle of the Fallout franchise. Its ability to capture the essence of the original games while still developing upon Fallout 3 was unbelievable. It’s been more than a decade since the title was released, and now, the desire for a remake is growing strong.
However, one gamer is tired of Howard’s lack of action on the community’s demand, and has given New Vegas an Unreal Engine 5 treatment themself.
The Fallout community has spoken once again, Todd Howard
You won’t find a gaming community that’s...

MrBeast‘s ambitious reality competition series is officially coming back for more.
During Amazon‘s upfront presentation, the tech giant confirmed that Prime Video original series Beast Games has been renewed for two additional seasons. The announcement confirmed previous reports that had stated Amazon’s intention to renew the popular reality show.
The first season of Beast Games, which premiered during last year’s holiday season, offered a souped-up version of the blockbuster competition videos MrBeast typically uploads on his namesake YouTube channel (which is closing in on a whopping 400 million subscribers). Amazon’s take on the MrBeast format featured 1,000 players and a top prize of $10 million.
In season two, MrBeast will be out to prove that those figures are just rookie numbers. He has already revealed his plan to increase the Beast Games prize pool to $15 million. He has also tied his candy business Feastables into Beast Games by...
