Woke Score
Lower is better
Review
The movie keeps the focus on Ethan Hunt stopping a rogue AI that threatens to control global information and humanity’s future. Strong women like Hayley Atwell’s Grace fight and run in the action sequences alongside the team. The story pushes mission stakes and human loyalty the whole way through with no identity themes or social justice lectures.
