== Reception == === Box Office === ''Mission: Impossible – Fallout'' grossed $220.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $571 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $791.1 million, against a production budget of $178 million, becoming the highest-grossing ''Mission: Impossible'' film. In the United States and Canada, ''Fallout'' was released alongside ''Teen Titans Go! To the Movies'', and was projected to gross $48–65 million in its opening weekend, with some estimates going as high as $75 million. It opened in 4,386 theaters, the most ever for the franchise and the seventh-widest release of all time. The film made $6 million from Thursday night previews (including $1 million from IMAX screenings), the highest of the series, a record for Cruise, and a 50% increase from ''Rogue Nation''<nowiki/>'s $4 million. It went on to debut to $61.2 million, the best of the series and the second-highest of Cruise's career. It made $35.3 million in its second weekend to remain in first and marked the best sophomore frame of the franchise. The film made $19.4 million in its third weekend, finishing second behind newcomer ''The Meg''. In other territories, the film was projected to debut to $75–80 million from 36 countries, for an estimated total global opening of around $135 million. It made $15 million on its first day, including $2.8 million in South Korea. The film ended up overperforming, debuting at $92 million overseas for a worldwide total of $153.5 million. Its largest markets were China ($181 million), South Korea ($24.9 million), the United Kingdom ($9.5 million), and India ($8.2 million).

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 97% based on 442 reviews, with an average rating of 8.4/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Fast, sleek, and fun, ''Mission: Impossible – Fallout'' lives up to the 'impossible' part of its name by setting yet another high mark for insane set pieces in a franchise full of them.", The site's Audience Score is at 88% with over 10,000 verified ratings. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 86 out of 100, based on 60 critics, indicating "universal acclaim." Audiences polled by PostTrak gave the film an 84% overall positive score and a 65% "definite recommend," while CinemaScore reported filmgoers gave it an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, the highest ever for the series. ''Variety''<nowiki/>'s Peter Debruge called the film "the series' most exciting installment yet," saying, "McQuarrie clearly believes in creating coherent set pieces: His combat scenes are tense, muscular, and clean, shot and edited in such a way that the spatial geography makes sense." David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a grade of "A" and called it one of the best action films ever, writing "He's only Tom Cruise because nobody else is willing to be—or maybe he's only Tom Cruise so that nobody else has to be. Either way, ''Fallout'' is the film he's always promised us, and it is worth the wait." ''Entertainment Weekly''<nowiki/>'s Chris Nashawaty also gave the film an "A" grade, commenting on Cruise that "He's still Hollywood's hungriest movie star", with the series getting "better, twistier and more deliriously fun with each installment". George Simpson of ''The Express'' complimented "the action is brutal and gut-punching, the pacing heart-pumping and the stakes so high it's gasp-inducing at times," adding, "''Fallout'' is an improvement on all the previous films' failings, drawing together all the best aspects of them; simultaneously giving off that classic vibe of the original while never being afraid to continually evolve;" he gave the film five out of five stars. ''The Telegraph''<nowiki/>'s Tim Robey summed up the film as "spectacular and eye-popping," deeming it "the blockbuster of the summer" with "a pleasingly sinuous plot," and calling the film and its series a "Bond-like franchise"; he also rated the film five out of five stars. Robert Abele of ''TheWrap'' described Cruise as an "evergreen movie star with the daredevil heart of a stuntman" and that he "puts every ounce of effort he can into the long, hard work of maintaining a blockbuster franchise." ''The Hollywood Reporter''<nowiki/>'s Todd McCarthy praised director Christopher McQuarrie, saying that with ''Mission: Impossible – Fallout'' he "tops what he did with Cruise three years ago," and also singled out Vanessa Kirby for playing her character with "a mix of elegance and frisky abandon." J.R. Kinnard of ''PopMatters'' wrote, "Though it lacks the gritty humanity of something like George Miller's ''Mad Max: Fury Road'' (2015), ''Mission: Impossible – Fallout'' is no less impressive in its dedication to character-driven action and practical special effects. It's a dazzling, non-stop thriller that's sure to become an instant action classic." ''Screen Daily''<nowiki/>'s Tim Grierson wrote, "Tom Cruise is on fighting form in this thrilling franchise topper... [he is] ageless, riveting and seemingly unstoppable," further adding that "the sixth film in the series is among the most outstanding, delivering a near-exhausting amount of stupendous action sequences paired with deft character drama and the requisite life-or-death stakes." Peter Bradshaw of ''The Guardian'' gave the film three out of five stars, saying "there isn't as much [humor] in the dialogue as before," but added, "Crashes and petrolhead spills are what this franchise is reasonably expected to deliver. And this is what it cheerfully does." ''Sight & Sound''<nowiki/>'s Nick Pinkerton wrote, "A strong contender for the most consistently cinematic franchise of the last 25 years, the ''Mission: Impossible'' films also offer a case study in the idea of the actor as auteur, with Tom Cruise continuing to present himself as a fearless screen immortal in ''Fallout''." The film was listed in 53 critics' Top 10 movies of 2018.
