As a movie critic with over two decades of experience under my belt and having seen more action flicks than I care to remember, let me share my thoughts on the upcoming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Having witnessed the highs and lows of the franchise, the first trailer has certainly piqued my interest.
The first review for the film, starring Tom Cruise, has been boldly positive…from a prominent source. The latest installment in the action franchise was just unveiled with its first trailer, sparking high expectations following its predecessor Dead Reckoning, which failed to meet the hype at the box office but is now the highest-rated film in the series. Nevertheless, Whigham has been encouraging fans that this mission will be one you won’t want to miss.
In an interview with ScreenRant, Whigham admitted that he’s been warned about sharing too many details regarding the last film in the series. Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but sing praises for Cruise and director McQuarrie, and hinted at what he believes is one of the best installments in the franchise yet. He stated:
I’ve learned my lesson about speaking out of turn, as it would upset someone on this call. Let me share something with you: Cruise and McQuarrie are not exaggerating when they praise the film; they genuinely love cinema, being cinephiles themselves. This production is exceptional, and the next one is even better. The reason for this is that it focuses heavily on character development, which both Cruise and McQuarrie excel at. They ensure that every character gets a small, meaningful moment. We acknowledge that Tom is the centerpiece of the film, but they always find ways to give everyone else a piece of the spotlight as well. Working on these projects is very rewarding.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Needs a Huge Box Office Result
The main challenge for Tom Cruise’s possible last film in the Mission: Impossible series is the staggeringly high budget that the movie has accumulated during its production, which stands at an astounding $400 million. Given this, a box office revenue of over $1 billion would be needed to ensure the film’s success completely. Considering the surprisingly low earnings of Dead Reckoning at $567 million (compared to the franchise norm), achieving such an impressive box office might prove more challenging than any mission Ethan Hunt has faced in the last ten years.
Despite the anticipation surrounding Tom Cruise’s thrilling stunts and the potential for a climactic storyline that could mark the end of a franchise, it remains uncertain how the box office will respond next summer. The past few years have shown that predicting the success or failure of movies can be challenging. For instance, low-budget horror films have been surprisingly successful – both in terms of bloodshed and ticket sales – while some big-budget blockbusters have underperformed, struggling to recoup their exorbitant production costs.
The movie “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” has amassed its high budget due to various challenges encountered during production. These included the ripple effects from the 2023 Hollywood strikes, multiple retakes, and noteworthy expenditures associated with Tom Cruise and McQuarrie’s commitment to performing their breathtaking stunts in real life rather than relying on computer-generated imagery (CGI). As one of the costliest films ever made, it now aims to become one of the highest-grossing movies as well, making all the effort and expense worthwhile.
