The upcoming Mission: Impossible film, The Final Reckoning, promises to elevate the franchise's renowned intense set pieces to new heights. Director Christopher McQuarrie suggests viewers may experience overwhelming tension, with a screening attendee claiming they felt suffocated, likening it to a medical emergency. This promise is crucial, especially after the last installment's box office underperformance, where expectations surrounding its notable stunt disappointed fans. The film seems positioned to provide a visceral experience, aligning with contemporary audience thirst for extreme entertainment, echoing trends seen in successful horror franchises.
McQuarrie revealed: We had a small screening, and someone said: I was suffocating throughout the entire sequence. I almost had a heart attack. And I thought: I guess we did something right.
In truth, McQuarrie needed to promise something big. The last Mission: Impossible film underperformed at the box office, and in truth the big stunt might have counted as one of the biggest letdowns.
