Anyone who has binged classic TV shows from the 1960s to the '80s will be familiar with the concept of recapping the first part of a two-parter at the beginning of part two. Such recaps often ran for as long as 10 minutes, eating into the running time and thus keeping the budget down. Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning has no such budgetary concerns, and yet it spends an inordinate amount of time recapping not only its immediate predecessor, Dead Reckoning: Part One, but previous entries, as far back as the first movie from 1996. There are so many "Previously on Mission: Impossible" flashbacks that at times it resembles one of those dreaded "clips" episodes we used to get in TV shows, where a main character would fall into a coma and think about all the fun adventures they had over the course of the show's run.
