At the Liberty: "Mission: Impossible –The Final Reckoning"

DAYTON — “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” will play two weekends: June 6-10 and June 13-17 during All Wheels Weekend.

In “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt, an IMF agent and leader of a team of operatives. He’s on the hunt for a rogue operative who’s after control of a powerful AI entity capable of destabilizing civilization. Joining Cruise are Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, and Esai Morales.

The movie follows “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning,” and although not necessary, watching the previous film could enhance the enjoyment of “The Final Reckoning.”

On Rotten Tomatoes, the critics (80%) and audience (89%) agreed with their ratings of the film. One critic said “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” is “gargantuan in action, runtime, and scope. It is a sentimental sendoff for Ethan Hunt and accomplished its mission with a characteristic flair for the impossible.”

It is rated PG-13 for sequences of strong violence and action, bloody images, and brief language, with a runtime of 169 minutes.

On Monday, June 23, at 1:30 p.m., The Liberty Theater will host PROJECT Trio, a performance through the Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival. Admittance to the performance is free.

PROJECT Trio is an ensemble known for genre-blending performances fusing classical, jazz, hip-hop, and world music influences. The Club, Dayton’s afterschool program, is a sponsor for this event.

The Liberty’s Summer Kids Movie Series kicks off with “Space Jam” on Tuesday, June 17, and Friday, June 20, at 1 p.m. The free series runs for six weeks on Tuesday and Friday afternoons at 1 p.m. The movies are free, and a snack, including a small soda and popcorn, costs only $2.
