In this IGN review of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, we witness Ethan Hunt facing off against a menacing AI introduced in the previous film. Clint Gage, a self-proclaimed James Bond aficionado, draws parallels between the light-heartedness of Rogue Nation and the heavy-handed melodrama of The Final Reckoning. The movie's serious tone and sky-high stakes are scrutinized, with the entity embodying a villain capable of unimaginable threats. The Final Reckoning strives to tie up the franchise's 30-year history but stumbles with some unnecessary story points in its lengthy runtime. Notably, moments like William Donlow's role in the CIA Black Vault and the knife scene are highlighted as enjoyable amidst the film's flaws.
The action sequences and fight choreography in The Final Reckoning receive accolades for their tension and realism, showcasing a level of intensity that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The film's climax brings the team together, a pivotal aspect for the IMF's success, reminiscent of the camaraderie seen in previous installments. The decision to avoid a massive marketing blitz around the signature stunt is praised, allowing audiences to fully savor the thrilling biplane sequence without prior spoilers. Despite the film's thrilling action, the review notes that The Final Reckoning's somber tone and melodramatic dialogue miss the mark, deviating from the franchise's usual blend of excitement and fun.
Ending with a rating of six out of ten, the review expresses a hopeful outlook for the future of the Mission Impossible franchise, urging a return to its roots in upcoming films. The final reckoning subtitle is pondered upon, questioning its representation of the franchise's trajectory moving forward. While acknowledging the film's strengths in delivering heart-pounding action and memorable moments, the review underscores the importance of balancing seriousness with the trademark Mission Impossible charm in future endeavors.
