Description: Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF pursue a dangerous AI
called the Entity that’s infiltrated global intelligence. With governments and
a figure from his past pursuit, Hunt races to stop it from forever changing the
world.
Review: Ethan Hunt gets one more chance to complete his mission. After the evens
in “Mission: Impossible – Death Reckoning Part One”, the existence of The
Entity is no longer a secret. This self-aware and all-encompassing AI that can
take over world leadership, is so dangerous it might end the world. Ethan Hunt has
gone into hiding with the key to the digital brain, while the government would
rather use this technology than destroy it. Shutting it down would mean the end
of cyberspace, and the White House wants to prevent that. It’s up to Ethan to
convince them to let him do his job.
The film opens with a video
message from the president to Hunt, which also serves as a concise summary of
the entire film series.
“Mission – Impossible – The Final
Reckoning” consists of three parts. There is already a lot at stake, but in the
first act the stakes are raised so that Hunt cannot possibly refuse the
mission. Then he has to persuade others to give him permission. With or without
approval, in the second part he carries out his plan. And action-packed and
excessive spectacle that is entertaining as hell.
The climax follows in the
last part, with the grand stunt Tom Cruise pulls off. Which has become a
tradition by now. That final half hour, is an absolute nail-biter. I was on the
edge of my seat the entire time.
This final film in the “Mission:
Impossible” series really did it. It’s a satisfying and strong end to a
long-running franchise.
Rating: 4,5/ 5
