  • Paramount drops action-packed Mission: Impossible—Final Reckoning trailer

    Tom Cruise is back for what may (or may not) be his final turn as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible—Final Reckoning.

    After giving CinemaCon attendees a sneak peek last week, Paramount Pictures has publicly released the trailer for Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning, the eighth installment of the blockbuster spy franchise starring Tom Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, and a sequel to the events that played out in 2023’s Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning.

    This may, or may not, end up being Cruise’s last film in the franchise; everyone’s being pretty cagey about that question. But the trailer certainly gives us everything we’ve come to expect from the Mission: Impossible films: high stakes, global political intrigue, and of course, lots and lots of spectacular stunt work, including Cruise hanging precariously mid-air from a 1930s Boeing Stearman biplane.

  • One last ride for Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning trailer

    Tom Cruise is choosing to accept his final assignment in the latest trailer for Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning.

    Is this the end for Cruise’s Ethan Hunt? The trailer emphasizes that Ethan needs his team to trust him “one last time.” The footage revisits some of Ethan’s most famous stunts, including the CIA vault break-in, the Kremlin bombing, and the gassing of the security briefing. Even though the government doesn’t fully trust Ethan, they know he’s necessary to keeping the peace. “If we want to bring the world back from the brink, we have to deal with him,” the voiceover states as Ethan prepares to save the world.

    After the events of Dead Reckoning, Ethan has the cruciform key in his possession. Now, it’s a race to find The Entity, a powerful AI program on a sunken Russian submarine. The balance of power will shift to whoever controls the Entity, so it’s up to Ethan and his team to destroy it and make sure it never gets into the wrong hands.

    Besides Cruise, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning stars Hayley Atwell as Grace, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, Esai Morales as Gabriel, Pom Klementieff as Paris, Shea Whigham as Jasper Briggs, Greg Tarzan Davis as Degas, Henry Czerny as Eugene Kittridge, and Angela Bassett as Erika Sloane.

    Newcomers include Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman, Lucy Tulugarjuk, Katy O’Brian, Holt McCallany, and Tramell Tillman.

    Christopher McQuarrie returns to direct Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning from a screenplay he cowrote with Erik Jendresen. Before its May release, The Final Reckoning is rumored to premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

    Paramount Pictures will release Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning on May 23, 2025.

    Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023)

    The Mission: Impossible saga is not exactly unknown, but Dead Reckoning is one of its more underrated chapters. This entry, which follows Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt as he comes face to face with an AI known as The Entity that can anticipate his every move. While Mission: Impossible is not the first franchise to introduce an AI villain, it does feel like a timely antagonist.

    What’s more important, though, is that Dead Reckoning is filled to the brim with some of the best set pieces you’ll ever see in a major Hollywood movie. From a car chase through Rome to a climactic train crash, it will keep you on the edge of your seat, and that’s what these movies are made for.

    Thirteen Lives (2022)

    Thirteen Lives Trailer #1 (2022) | Movieclips Trailers

    Ron Howard is one of the ultimate Hollywood guns for hire, meaning his movies can range from amazing to terrible. Thirteen Lives, the story of the team assembled to rescue the soccer team trapped in a cave in Thailand, is one of his better recent efforts.

    The movie is ultimately a tribute to people who do their jobs well and features an all-star cast, including Colin Farrell, Viggo Mortensen, and Joel Edgerton. The movie has some thrilling sequences, including the actual rescue itself. Howard is the capable hand that manages to guide this complex story.

    Limitless (2011)

    Limitless (2011) Official Trailer #1 – Bradley Cooper Movie

    It’s not a perfect movie, but Limitless is exactly the kind of story we need more of today. Starring a young Bradley Cooper in “prove it” mode, Limitless follows a down-on-his-luck man who is introduced to a pill that can expand the capabilities of his mind. As he rises to the top of the financial world, he faces a dwindling supply of his drug and begins to worry that his new life will disappear.

    The movie wouldn’t work without Cooper’s captivating central performance, but Limitless‘s mid-budget thrills feel refreshingly low-stakes by the standards of modern blockbusters.

    You can watch Limitless on Prime Video.
