Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning – The Legend of Ethan Hunt

Don’t be fooled—there’s nothing final about this ending. I can assure you that Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning (2025) is not the end of this successful franchise. Perhaps it marks the closing of a particular timeline within the Mission: Impossible universe, but the studios will surely find ways to bring Ethan Hunt and his team back. Almost 30 years have passed since the first film in the franchise hit theaters under the direction of Brian De Palma, and now, with the eighth installment, the path is being paved for a generational handover.

Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One: The Legend of Tom Cruise

Mission Impossible is a registered trademark, one of the most important franchises in movie history. The adventures of that Ethan Hunt the eternal Tom Cruise, can be compared to those of the legendary James Bond. This saga was inspired by a television series that ran from the mid-60s to the early 70s that came to the big screen at the hands of Brian De Palma in 1996. That first installment is still one of the best movies in the franchise. Now comes Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One, the seventh in a saga that has gained new life with the last three proposals.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

I wish it was 1986 too. At least someone else would have to worry about the bills. Before getting to Top Gun: Maverick (2022) we must get into the DeLorean and travel to 1986. Tony Scott (1944-2012) gave the cinema great movies, films that transcended the screen and became entrenched in popular culture, Top Gun (1986) is the perfect example. It’s impossible to imagine the eighties and nineties without Maverick, Ice Man and the F-14s taking to the skies to the tune of Kenny Loggins’ Danger Zone. Or maybe listening to Berlin’s Take My Breath Away and not imagining Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis doing their thing. Beyond its value as a cinematographic work, Scott’s film stands out thanks to its ability to connect with the audience and permeate it until it becomes a currency of regular use in society.
