Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning: IMAX and 4DX Viewing Guide

Mission: Impossible returns, possibly for its final chapter. With Tom Cruise vowing to keep making films well into his later years and the Oscars introducing a stunt category post-release, it’s hard to believe The Final Reckoning will truly be the end.

Even if it’s not the finale, this action-packed franchise, led by a star passionate about the cinematic experience, deserves a grand celebration.

Following 2023’s Dead Reckoning, IGN’s review highlights Ethan Hunt, played by Cruise, risking everything to stop The Entity, with breathtaking stunts and nods to the franchise’s past.

IMAX

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning enjoys a three-week IMAX run, replacing Thunderbolts*. IMAX delivers 4K laser projection and six-channel surround sound, far beyond just a larger screen.
