Paramount’s spy actioner ‘Mission Impossible’ starring Hollywood heartthrob Tom Cruise is inarguably one of the most high-profile film franchises globally. The seventh instalment of the highly lucrative film series titled ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ is set to release in theatres on 12th July. Before that, the film has just made its dazzling premiere at the Spanish Steps in Rome. So, the much-awaited first reactions for the film are out now and here’s what people are saying about the latest Mission film.
In MI-7, Tom Cruise reprises his role as the daredevil agent Ethan Hunt, who teams up with other IMF agents for their most dangerous mission yet while dealing with his own past demons. The globe-trotting mission is to prevent a deadly new weapon from falling into the wrong and powerful hands. Interestingly, the film’s villain is Artificial Intelligence.
And as far as the early reactions for ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ are concerned, the latest Mission movie has got a big, unanimous thumbs-up from those who have already seen it. While one of the reviewers has called it the best Mission film until now, another one thinks that it’s the best film of the year so far. Most of the watchers agree that Tom Cruise has done it once again and the film is blessed with top-notch production values and mind-blowing set pieces. The film’s action-packed train scene is also being praised and so is Hayley Atwell’s performance.
As per one reviewer, another good thing about ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ is that it tells a complete story and does not end in a cliffhanger despite the film being the first part of the two-part story – the second one being ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two’, which is set to be released in June 2024. So, overall, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ has turned out to be a highly successful mission for the film’s director Christopher McQuarrie and lead actor Tom Cruise.
Not many people might be aware that Tom Cruise’s ‘Mission Impossible’ film franchise is based on a television series of the same name. The series, created by Bruce Geller, revolved around a team of secret American government agents called Impossible Missions Force (IMF). The series spanned two seasons comprising 35 episodes that were aired between 1988 to 1990.
The first ‘Mission Impossible’ movie takes place six years after the events of the television series. The phenomenally successful film franchise spanning six films until now has grossed a whopping $3.5 billion at the box office worldwide. So, fans are naturally super intrigued with what the franchise’s next two films have to offer.
