Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning was such an amazing experience from start to finish. The whole thing was a visual and audio feast. The story is super tight, and every scene is packed with action and tension. Even though the movie is long, I was never bored for a second. When Ethan fell into the deep sea and when his parachute caught fire, I really thought he was done for-but he survived both times, of course.
The CIA still doesn't trust him. He's still being chased by all kinds of people. And he and his team are once again doing these insane, almost impossible missions that somehow push the limits every time. The rest of the team seemed to get more screen time this time, and there were a few cool scenes where it cut between them fighting in their own dangerous situations-those parts were especially intense and exciting.
At the beginning of the film, there was a montage of clips from past Mission: Impossible movies, and it was so lit.
At the end, there's no new mission for Ethan. Maybe this really is the end of a franchise that's lasted nearly thirty years.
Tom Cruise is still killing it-both as an actor and doing all those crazy stunts. He moves like he's still in his early thirties. The fact that he does most of these dangerous scenes without a stunt double is seriously impressive and shows how dedicated he is.
