TOM CRUISE MAKES THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF HIS LIFE!

26th May 2025

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning marks the eighth and, for now at least, final chapter in the epic action-thriller saga that’s defined modern blockbuster cinema. It feels like the blazing tail end of a rocket shot into the stratosphere—fueled by ambition, adrenaline, and, of course, Tom Cruise. At this point, Cruise isn’t just a star. He’s something more—an unstoppable force that exists somewhere between myth and muscle.

The movie taps into the anxieties of our digital age with a sharp anti-AI, anti-disinformation edge. And true to form, it’s also a massive, unapologetic love letter to the theatrical experience. This time, the stakes couldn’t be higher—or more insane. Picking up where Dead Reckoning left off, Ethan Hunt faces the second half of a mission that may finally be too much, even for him. His target: an omniscient AI called “The Entity,” a shape-shifting digital overlord that’s twisting truth, sowing chaos, and quietly dismantling the very idea of objective reality. It’s the ultimate threat—and the ultimate excuse for another globe-trotting, heart-pounding adventure.

Ethan’s loyal crew returns: Grace (Hayley Atwell), bringing streetwise savvy and spark; Luther (Ving Rhames), the dependable tech sage; and Benji (Simon Pegg), as always walking the line between comic relief and unexpected emotional core. They’re facing a digital god run amok, one that can only be shut down using a mysterious cruciform key—half of which Ethan already retrieved. Now, the second part lies somewhere in the wreck of the Russian submarine Sevastopol, deep below the surface.

Yes, it’s a bit ridiculous. But that’s part of the joy. This film leans into the franchise’s greatest hits—flashbacks, callbacks, and of course, the trademark Tom Cruise sprint. And it still finds room for new highlights. He’s got just enough flair to make you hope he sticks around for whatever’s next.

As for the stunts? Let’s just say the tradition continues. Cruise clings to the wing of a prop plane soaring through the clouds in one of the film’s jaw-dropping climaxes. It’s not Mission: Impossible without a death-defying moment in the sky.

There’s a kind of cinematic poetry to it. While everything around us becomes more digital, more virtual, Cruise continues to risk it all for something real. He’s not just entertaining us—he’s preserving the thrill of what the movies used to mean.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning premiered at Cannes and is out now in UK cinemas!
