It wouldn’t be summer without a trailer for a new Mission Impossible film. Last we saw Ethan Hunt, he was off to find the AI that was manipulating the deadliest weapon that every government on Earth wants. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, Part One debuted in 2023, we were waiting for part two. However, some things have changed in the interim.
Paramount was concerned about the underwhelming performance of the latest film, especially with all the money they dumped into making two films. This film was made during the pandemic and drew Tom Cruise anger from crew members that weren’t adhering to Covid protocols.
Now, the previous film had dropped the “part one” and changed the title for the second film to “final reckoning”. Obviously, the trailer is structured as Ethan (and Cruise’s) final bow. It would make sense since I remembering going to the cinema multiple time in 1996 to see the original film. It was comfort food for me as my father was dying of cancer.
Mission Impossible Final Reckoning is it
The film will go about tying up a lot of loose ends from the entire franchise from Kittridge through the last film. If I am being honest, I was a little underwhelmed by the previous installment. However, knowing that there is a part two, it gave me hope that it would come all together in the end.
With the demise of Rebecca Ferguson’s character in the previous film, it allows the audience to think that anyone else can go in the final outing. However, for Ferguson’s character, she wanted out to do other projects since it has been taking years to make this final film.
Regardless of what you think about him as a person, he knows how to make a movie. Enjoying a movie experience. Wondering if he did that particular stunt. Allowing you to escape for two hours. Mister Cruise, this has been a great franchise and I thank you for some great moments.
