Christopher McQuarrie has revealed the extent to which the eighth (and possibly final) Mission: Impossible film changed during the editing process — namely a lot.

As I pointed out in our Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning review, that sort of reverence is also present in director Christopher McQuarrie ’s current box office hit. Short of watching all of the prior films with a Paramount+ subscription, this is one of the best sequels to use as an introductory point to new fans.

The Final Reckoning is thriving in its third week in India, rebounding after a slightly challenging second week. The film's earnings surged over the weekend, with Day 16 estimated at Rs 3.75 crore, totalling Rs 90.

In the new installment of Tom Cruise’s action film series, “ Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning ,” a godlike AI called the Entity has the world on the brink of a nuclear apocalypse, and a doomsday cult is rooting for the AI. (Spoiler alert: Cruise saves everyone.)

Being a spy is like watching paint dry. And they don’t have to be in the best shape. The tooth capsule thing? Real. A former spy tells us what Tom Cruise gets right and wrong in the franchise.

The overall framework of the Rabbit’s Foot and its history would have been a super easy way to confirm Ethan Hunt’s fight against The Syndicate as a career-long chess game. What’s more, that suggested plotline would have strengthened another legacy character’s return into something much more powerful.

Since premiering in theaters last weekend, the eighth and final “Mission: Impossible” movie has pulled off a box office heist worthy of the IMF, raking in over $200 million worldwide. Critics are calling it a “sentimental sendoff” for Tom Cruise’s iconic role, with reviews praising its incredible action sequences.

Creating Tom Cruise’s pivotal scene for “The Final Reckoning,” required months of grit, G-force training and a little hypothermia.
