Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning Set two months after the events of Dead Reckoning (2023), taking viewers to the final confrontation between Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the rebellious artificial intelligence (AI) named The Entity .

Ethan must reassemble his veteran team to track down a sunken Russian submarine - the only source code capable of destroying this AI entity.

Mission: Impossible 8 divided critics

According to Variety , film critic Courtney Howard shared on X: "The movie is absolutely explosive. I was fascinated. An adrenaline-filled experience (a hormone that creates excitement, stimulation) that hits the mind and emotions with spectacular action that will overwhelm you.

Christopher McQuarrie, Tom Cruise and the entire team created the gold standard - a bold, intelligent and excellent action movie of all time."

Journalist and member BAFTA - Simon Thompson agreed with Howard: "The film is sharp and surprisingly intelligent. This is a tense installment in one of the most exciting action series of all time. With heart-pounding scenes, Cruise and McQuarrie do a great job."

Offscreen Central founder and editor-in-chief Kenzie Vanunu offers praise with a caveat: "This is a dramatic summer movie that had me wondering if Tom Cruise was okay throughout the entire movie.

There were times when there were too many events happening at once at a constant pace, but overall it was still a very enjoyable experience going to the theater."

And critic Landon Johnson commented: Mission: Impossible 8 is the ultimate symphony of a franchise synonymous with speed, tension and overwhelm. Tom Cruise pushes the envelope - flying higher, diving deeper and hurtling towards the edge of danger with no regard for life, body or logic."

However, according to the newspaper Independent , film by Tom Cruise also faced mixed reviews surrounding its story and plot structure. Many felt that part 8 lacked a balance between scale and depth.

Andrew J. Salazar from Discussing Film was blunt: "I didn't really like the movie. The visuals are beautiful but the script is confusing, there are too many details that are included and then left unsaid. It feels like they were shooting without a real script."

David Ehrlich, a writer for the newspaper IndieWire also called it "a huge disappointment": "The action scenes are certainly impressive, but the overall film is messy and dull in a way I didn't think the series could sink into. As a supporter of Cruise's quest to "save cinema," this is heartbreaking."
