first coming attractions. Your VIP passed to honest reviews from
the kids who know what's what and deliver huge opinions
on the latest flicks. Today, Catherine s tackles the latest
Impossible mission with Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning.
Ready for her intel, Let's find out if it's kid approved.

Hi, this is Katherine reporting for kids First and today
I'm reviewing Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning. Mission Impossible, The
Final Reckoning is an absolutely action packed movie, taking a
more serious engraved tone than the previous installments of the series.
It's full of constant high tensions and emotional moments and
insane stunts. As always, It's definitely long, but has a
(00:48):
solid way to end the Entity's storyline. Maybe Now that
even hunt Tom Cruise has retrieved the cruciform key, the
next step in destroying the ROGUEI the Entity is finding
the Podkova, which contains the original code of the AI
and is at an unlow location at the bottom of
the sea. So Ethan and his team must travel the
globe and find the Podkova before the Entity gains control
(01:10):
of every nuclear arsenal and launches them, annihilating the world.
It's a cautionary tale about AI and offers a scary
view into the future of artificial intelligence's power. I would
recommend watching Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part one before watching
this one, because it's the first part of this movie,
but you don't need to watch any of the other
earlier ones to understand the story. Longtime fans who have
(01:32):
seen the others will enjoy the references to the past
movie in this one too. Even though this is the
eighth movie in the Mission Impossible franchise, having Final in
the title and running it two hours and fifty one minutes,
the longest Mission Impossible yet, it's unknown if this will
be the final assignment for Ethan Hunt after almost thirty
years of missions. Almost all of the stunts and all
of the Mission Impossible movies are performed by Tom Cruise
(01:55):
himself and always seem to outdo each other. But the
stunts in this movie are so crazy that even professionals
said it was impossible, but Tom Cruise was able to
make them happen. Ethan Hunt and his team Benji, Simon,
Peg Grace Haley Atwell Paris, Tom Clementiffe and dagas Greg
Tarzan Davis have such good chemistry and despite being so different,
(02:17):
they work so well together. Ethan spends a lot of
his time apart from his team in this movie, but
his care for these people is so apparent. Some of
these characters were on the opposite sides of the original conflict,
so it was very interesting to see their bonds grow
through everything they encountered in this movie. The film's message
is that teamwork and determination can make the impossible possible.
(02:37):
Be forewarned that there is some profanity, intense fighting scenes,
very gruesome situations, and death. I give Mission Impossible the
Final Reckoning four out of five stars, and I recommend
it for ages twelve to eighteen plus adults. This movie
releases in theaters on May twenty th twenty five.

All Right, movie buffs, that's the final scene for today.
