Though the franchise may be named Mission: Impossible, there is yet a mission so difficult as to be left incomplete by Tom Cruise and his gang, no matter how impossible it may seem at the beginning. The latest and penultimate adventure in this saga of globe-trotting spies, Mission: Impossible 7, has captured the attention of the masses for bringing the ultimate test to the international sleuths, and making them prove their mettle once again.
As brain clashes with brawn and espionage are taken to a whole other level, Ethan Hunt gets (quite literally) driven off the edge as the infamous crew prepares for one last ride before sailing off into the sunset.
Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible 7 Does the Impossible
It is not unknown how Tom Cruise‘s love for the movies precedes and supersedes everything else. The actor who was born with jet fuel running through his veins (self-proclaimed admission) will stop at nothing to see the film industry rise to its predestined glory and become a unit of the ultimate and inimitable artistic platform. As such, his latest slew of films, Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7 only seem rightfully heading toward being two of the greatest cinematic masterpieces made for the theatres in the modern era of hyper-realistic stunt-driven filmmaking in an industry that is otherwise dictated by CGI and special effects.
Mission: Impossible 7 has become the fourth film in the Tom Cruise-helmed spy series to hold a rating in the 90s at the film critic website, Rotten Tomatoes. The feat, although hardly rare, is one acquired by movies by the same actor in different genre projects or the same franchise but with different plots and characters (for instance, Marvel). As such, to have one singular franchise that is populated by 90% and above when it comes to RT ratings is a feat as rare and impossible as one of Ethan Hunt’s missions itself. Currently, Mission: Impossible 7 sits at a mighty 98% based on 120 critic reviews.
Mission: Impossible 7 Applauded For Breaking Barriers
The theatrical distribution business which Tom Cruise has been largely associated with for saving, as per Steven Spielberg himself, was rundown by the surge in streaming platforms, their endless barrage of quality series, original films, and direct-to-streaming releases, which made going to the movies wholly redundant in the post-pandemic era. However, films like Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7 are two among a brilliant roster of films to have contributed to the resurgence of the theatregoing experience.
As such, a 98% rating is only one of the factors that call for celebration. But the netizens will take what they can get, and for now, Tom Cruise is reigning supreme at the uppermost echelons of praise and awe.

Amazing how this franchise have just gotten exponentially better as they’ve gone along. First two were decent. Third was very good. Four through six have been top tier action films. Perfect combination of good writing, characters, action set pieces, and humor put on top.

The seventh installment of the Mission: Impossible film series finds Ethan Hunt and his team, comprising Benji Dunn, Ilsa Faust, Luther Stockwell, and the White Widow reprising their respective posts as heroes and villains as they face a new threat that has the potential to wipe out all of humanity. As new characters step into the picture, including Hayley Atwell as Grace, Pom Klementieff as Paris, and Esai Morales as Gabriel, all love must be forsaken for the sake of mankind as the fate of civilization now rests in Ethan Hunt’s capable hands.
