Caution: This story contains mild spoilers, not enough to ruin your experience with Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. However, the discussion will focus on the initial 20 minutes of the film.
As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I’m excitedly counting down the days until this week’s release of the “final” installment in the Mission: Impossible series, aptly titled Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. It’s been a long-awaited addition to the 2025 movie lineup that has everyone buzzing. However, I must admit, when I saw it was going to run for over two hours and forty minutes, my initial thought was a bit of apprehension given how much I enjoy the M:I movies. But hey, Tom Cruise never disappoints, so I’m ready to buckle up for the ride!
The fantastic aspect about this movie is its swift pace; it never drags on, thanks to its well-timed rhythm and an abundance of thrilling stunts and action sequences that are characteristic of the series. The film moves at a brisk speed throughout. To be honest, the initial 20 minutes or so are particularly helpful for individuals like me who had forgotten the details from the previous installment, marking the start of the two-part finale to the extended run of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, which debuted in 2023.
Last Week On Mission: Impossible – A Recap Of The Whole Series
As a devoted film buff, I must say it’s quite fitting that the latest installment in the “Mission: Impossible” series, titled “The Final Reckoning,” began with a succinct recap of not just the previous movie, but all seven films in this action-packed franchise. It was an effective way to refresh my memory about the intricate plotlines, even if it wasn’t the most graceful method. I found myself truly appreciative for this refresher.
For me, “Mission: Impossible” films serve more as an enjoyable escape rather than a deep thinking experience. I find myself immersed in the action, laughter, and thrill, often with a handful of buttery popcorn. Details like dialogue or plot can sometimes be overlooked, allowing me to simply enjoy the ride without giving them too much thought. This is part of the reason why I don’t feel compelled to rank these films, as they all provide the same level of fun for me, if not intellectual stimulation.

A Lot Has Happened In Three Decades Of M:I Movies
From the very start in 1996, I’ve caught every “Mission: Impossible” film on the big screen. The series has been packed with missions, characters (both heroes and villains), and breathtaking stunts galore. Recently, ahead of the release of the latest installment, I planned to revisit all seven earlier ones using my Paramount+ account. I managed to start the first one, but then various movies, TV series, daily routines, and tasks popped up, preventing me from returning to them.

Before watching “Final Reckoning”, I briefly reviewed Wikipedia as a quick refresher. With my large popcorn bucket at hand, I comfortably settled in for a nearly 3-hour journey. The recap sparked my enthusiasm, as it was thrilling to revisit the spectacular stunts on the big screen and match names with faces once more. This made the subsequent 2 hours plus even more enjoyable.
In case you’re similar to me and some key details from the latest Mission: Impossible film, or even all of them, have slipped your mind, there’s no need to fret. You can still thoroughly appreciate Ethan Hunt and his team’s final mission, without needing to do any prior study.
