Joined by new allies and armed with the means to shut the Entity down for good, Hunt is in a race against time to prevent the world as we know it from changing forever.

I really wanted to trust Ethan Hunt one last time but I just can’t get on board with this. In fairness, this is certainly one of the most impressive bloated vanity projects I’ve ever seen, but it’s still just too messy and absurd to justify itself. Still, the stunts are, as always, absolutely mind blowing. Tom Cruise has got to be certifiably insane but it’s kinda worth it for his contributions to cinematic history. I wish that this film didn’t feel like an snl skit parodying the MI franchise most of the time. I wish Gabriel was even a little more complex than a potato. I wish Ethan Hunt didn’t have a full blown transformation into the messiah. But even with all the many complaints I have about this film, the worst part is that this film drags and I was bored for much of the runtime. It’s not the farewell I would have liked from one of my most beloved franchises, but it has its moments. Thank you for your service Mr Hunt.
