MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING opens with a medium intensity. For KLovers who want to feel the tension from the start of the film, you need to prepare yourself. The conflict that occurs is really seen where Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and Grace (Hayley Atwell) are hunting down the villain Gabriel (Esai Morales). This conflict is a continuation of Ethan Hunt's major mission in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE which is to stop the Entity.

This tension becomes increasingly complex and must involve US President Erika Sloane (Angela Bassett) who is under pressure with all the decisions she makes. Control of the nuclear weapons possessed by the US is threatened to be taken over by the Entity as it has done to the nuclear facilities of other countries.

2. Outrageous Actions That Never Fail

Since the first film, Mission: Impossible has always featured incredibly crazy scenes that defy logic. Ethan Hunt often takes risks in every mission. However, he is known to be very calculated and always communicates well with his team.

The diving scene in the cold Bering Sea makes the audience's hearts race. Ethan Hunt faces high pressure underwater, a sunken submarine, and limited equipment. Just a slight miscalculation could cost Ethan Hunt his life.

Next, there is a thrilling scene of hanging from a plane. This scene occurs at the end of the film where Ethan Hunt duels one-on-one with Gabriel, who feels that victory is within reach.

3. Surprise

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING presents surprises related to several facts concerning the previous seven films. This enriches the plot and story, emphasizing Mission: Impossible as a franchise with nearly three decades of history.

One of the surprises is the return of William Downloe (Rolf Saxon) as a CIA analyst. William almost met Ethan Hunt in the first film in 1996. At that time, William entered his office, which was about to be infiltrated by Ethan Hunt. They did not end up meeting, and William only found Ethan Hunt's fallen knife.

In MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING, William Downloe is depicted as living on a remote island and has married a wife who is a native of that island.

4. Satisfying Ending?

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING does not provide an ending that raises many questions like the previous films. For most moviegoers who enjoy a 'happy ending', this film offers a story with increasing intensity from the beginning to a climactic conclusion at the end.

All team members, except Luther (Ving Rhames) who sacrifices himself, are shown exchanging smiles at the end of the film. They are Ethan Hunt, Benji (Simon Pegg), Grace (Hayley Atwell), Paris (Pom Klementieff), Davis (Greg Tarzan), and William Downloe.

5. Underrated Star: Angela Bassett

Special credit goes to Angela Bassett who makes a comeback by portraying the character of the US President named Erika Sloane. She successfully plays a strong President who is the commander-in-chief. Erika becomes a strong figure who refuses to be manipulated by the military under her, full of empathy for her people, while weighing the pros and cons of all decisions made.

Previously, Erika Sloane appeared in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT (2018). At that time, Erika was the CIA Director. Her comeback alongside William Downloe makes the plot of this film even stronger.

A touching moment is seen at the end of the film. After the conflict reaches its climax and the intensity begins to drop, President Erika is seen descending from Air Force One and is greeted by a military platoon. It turns out that the commander of the platoon is her own child, and they embrace warmly.
