After the blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick in 2022, Tom Cruise is all set to deliver another hit in his next film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. The film is the seventh and the newest in his popular Mission: Impossible (MI) franchise, therefore also known as Mission: Impossible 7.

The MI series began 27 years ago and is still going strong, largely due to Tom Cruise’s star power and consistent performance as well as the action and scale of production.

Movie review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes’ rating for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One stands at an amazing 98% and that too, before the review embargo is lifted. This is the highest for the MI franchise, too, beating Mission: Impossible – Fallout's franchise high of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Here are some of the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One reviews from major publications:

The Wrap said there’s no “better mission” this summer than to witness “our perpetual cinematic maverick deliver yet another full-scale cinematic experience”.

The LA Times said that Dead Reckoning Part One “doesn't just rack up the miles in style” but is also a “gleaming advertisement for Hollywood itself."

Entertainment Weekly believed that “While the title might feel unwieldy, the film itself is anything but, its nearly three-hour running time passing as quickly as it takes a message to self-destruct."

Hollywood Reporter felt that the “strong cast, high-gloss production values” and “constant wow factor” of MI 7 are a “distraction from the storytelling deficiencies".

Digital Spy said that MI 7 was “a step down from Fallout” but “still a blockbuster” with “immersive and spectacular action that gets the adrenaline pumping”.

Time magazine minced no words in saying that the story of Mission: Impossible 7 is only a “flimsy interstitial tissue between the Tom-centric stunts”, adding that “greater movies have given us less".

NME feels pointed out that the plot “borrows from Westworld and aims for cerebral but ends up coming out like a half-baked Christopher Nolan brain fart".

The Times opined that MI:7 “feels like a movie that's been assembled by an inattentive monkey” or a “luckless studio intern” who was given incomplete rushes of the film and told to make a “Covid-beating blockbuster out of that”.
