As Tom Cruise says, movies are back!

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One may very well be
the summer blockbuster. While other high-profile films populate a packed calendar, the action epic is a cut above the rest. That it comes out in the same month as
Barbie and
Oppenheimer, the 2023 Box Office Battle Royale, proves just how confident Cruise and Paramount are in the picture, and they should be. McQuarrie's camera vacillates between jittery anxiety and sweeping elegance. The cast, including returnees Ferguson, Rhames, Simon Pegg, and Vanessa Kirby are all integral to the story in a way that adds to the sense of finality that is to come full circle next year. In a summer with too many offerings to choose from (as evidenced by the lackluster returns some movies are seeing), there may be a clear frontrunner already, and we should all be thankful to Ethan Hunt for running ahead of the pack.
In Dead Reckoning Part One, Tom Cruise does it again

Mission: Impossible, on the other hand, is a rock concert. Try spoiling one of those. You can tell an audience in advance exactly what the band they’re watching is going to sing, and it doesn’t really matter. Tom Cruise is the Eddie Van Halen of jumping out of airplanes. Everyone comes to these movies knowing all the words — we’re just here to sing ’em real fuckin’ loud.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One isn’t the best Mission movie yet, but it’s one of the better ones. It will please fans of the franchise and of action movies in general, and sell even more tickets next year when the final piece comes out.
