The Final Reckoning" director Christopher McQuarrie breaks down his ending and that "gnarly" Tom Cruise stunt. Spoilers!

So, is “The Final Reckoning” really the last “Mission: Impossible” movie for Tom Cruise ‘s Ethan Hunt? Cruise has teased that this is seemingly the send-off for his IMF agent, and there aren’t any confirmed plans for more sequels in the series. Does Ethan escape from his battle with the AI Entity unscathed, or does he meet a grim fate?

That’s just part of what bogs down The Final Reckoning. In fact the movie is slow out of the gate as it has to set up what has happened in the two months between the end of Dead Reckoning, the basics of the plot and a quick “best-of” clip from the franchise before things really get going.
