Why You Should Check Out Alamo Drafthouse’s Final Reckoning Screenings
The Mission: Impossible-Themed Cuisine Isn’t The Only Selling Point
Ever since the franchise first launched with the 1996 expansion of the classic TV series, the Mission: Impossible movies have always been a theatrical event, thanks in large part to the extreme stunts Cruise has performed himself across the eight films. Whether it was the free solo climbing sequence from the first sequel or hanging on to the side of a plane in Rogue Nation‘s opening scene and cliff-jumping off of a motorcycle in ᴅᴇᴀᴅ Reckoning, the Oscar nominee’s dedication to the practical stunts has left viewers speechless seeing each one on the big screen.
In addition to the stunts and specialized menu, one of the biggest reasons to see The Final Reckoning at an Alamo Drafthouse is the theater chain’s devotion to delivering as pure of a cinema experience for the viewer as possible. The theater has a very strict policy regarding interruptions from the audience, namely the use of cellphones or disruptive talking, unless it is a specialized screening inviting audience participation. While every theater asks this of their viewers, Alamo will remove disruptive attendees from the screening, and even ban them, depending on their behavior, creating a perfect environment to experience The Final Reckoning.
The other major reason to see Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning at an Alamo Drafthouse is to see whether this will indeed be the final installment in the franchise. Both Cruise and co-writer/director Christopher McQuarrie have been very cautious about confirming it will be the end of Ethan’s adventures, expressing an interest in more stories, though the movie’s marketing has really painted it as being the end. With Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning reviews also touting it as the biggest yet, Alamo is the perfect place to see the action sequel.
