Mission: Impossible is back—this time supposedly for the last ride. Although Tom Cruise has made it clear he intends to keep making films well into his 100s *and* the Oscars are finally introducing a category for stunts the year after this film would have qualified (talk about timing), we wouldn’t be surprised if *The Final Reckoning* doesn’t actually mark the end.
Even so, any potential conclusion deserves celebration, especially for one of the most iconic action franchises ever, led by an actor who famously champions the cinematic experience on the biggest screens possible.
As the follow-up to *Dead Reckoning Part One* (2023), IGN’s review notes that Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt continues to risk “life, limb, and the fates of millions,” now aiming to stop a mysterious digital threat known as The Entity. Expect jaw-dropping stunts—many performed by Cruise himself—as well as callbacks to earlier entries in the franchise.
If you're planning to catch the latest Mission: Impossible installment, here's everything you need to know about theatrical formats and streaming availability.

How to Watch Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
The new *Mission: Impossible* movie hits theaters on Friday, May 23. You can find local showtimes through the following theater platforms:
Available Formats (and Which Is Worth It)
Beyond standard digital screenings, *Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning* will be shown in various premium large format (PLF) options across major theater chains. Since not all locations offer every format, it’s best to check what’s available near you. Here are the top recommendations:
IMAX
*Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning* enjoys a three-week exclusive IMAX run following *Thunderbolts*. More than just a larger screen, IMAX delivers high-quality 4K laser projection and immersive six-channel surround sound.
The film was shot using IMAX-certified digital cameras—including the Arri Alexa Mini LF, Sony CineAlta Venice, and Sony CineAlta Venice Rialto—ensuring full compatibility with the format. According to IMAX, over 45 minutes of the movie features the exclusive 1.90:1 Expanded Aspect Ratio. If available, IMAX is the optimal choice for experiencing the film as intended.
4DX
For a more interactive viewing experience, 4DX brings the action off-screen with motion seats, strobe lights, wind, rain, and other sensory effects. It’s ideal for those seeking a memorable, immersive outing—even if it occasionally pulls attention away from the actual film.
When Can You Watch It at Home?
Paramount+ US Membership & Free Trial
Starting at $7.99/month, Paramount+ will host *The Final Reckoning* after its theatrical run. Recent Paramount titles like *Novocaine* and *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* arrived on the service roughly two months post-release. Assuming a similar window, expect the film to stream by late July.
Catch Up on the Mission: Impossible Franchise
If you'd like to rewatch the entire series before diving into *The Final Reckoning*, all *Mission: Impossible* films are currently available on Paramount+. For those avoiding another subscription, physical editions remain an option too.
