Netflix has confirmed its slate for April 2026<\/a>, and it\u2019s a pretty robust collection of new originals, alongside plenty of enjoyable licensed movies (and a few TV shows) being added to the platform\u2019s already sizeable library.<\/p>\n

Every month, I comb through the new additions to find the fresh arrivals that have scored highly on the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. It\u2019s by no means a perfect metric for judging a movie\u2019s quality, but it does offer a snapshot look at a film\u2019s critical reception. To be upfront, April\u2019s new arrivals are far from the most well-received collection of movies added to Netflix.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Still, I have managed to find a trio of recent Netflix arrivals that each managed to score at least 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes. Here\u2019s the rundown.<\/p>\n

Netflix is adding the first five \u201cMission: Impossible\u201d movies this month. The early entries have their strengths (particularly \u201cMission: Impossible III\u201d), but 2011\u2019s \u201cGhost Protocol\u201d really took the spy franchise up a gear. This movie set the template for future \u201cM: I\u201d movies, but above all, it\u2019s just a hugely enjoyable blockbuster. Helmed by Brad Bird, it stars Tom Cruise as franchise lead Ethan Hunt, with Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Paula Patton in support.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the impossible mission this time around? After an attack on the Kremlin, Hunt\u2019s IMF (Impossible Mission Force) team is implicated in the attack, forcing the president to invoke the titular Ghost Protocol. The IMF is disavowed and must embark on a globe-trotting mission to locate the parties responsible for the attack. With no backup or agency support at hand, it\u2019s up to Hunt and his team to save the day before it\u2019s too late to prevent disaster.<\/p>\n

If one well-regarded \u201cMission: Impossible\u201d movie isn\u2019t enough spy action fun for you, good news: \u201cGhost Protocol\u2019s\u201d sequel, \u201cRogue Nation,\u201d is also on Netflix this month, and in my opinion, it\u2019s even better. Christopher McQuarrie takes over directing duties, who would go on to helm the franchise through to its current conclusion, and Rebecca Ferguson is added to the cast list as an undercover MI6 agent. The inclusion of Ferguson makes pretty much every movie better, and \u201cMission: Impossible – Rogue Nation\u201d is no exception.<\/p>\n

With the IMF deemed too reckless by CIA chief Alan Hunley (Alex Baldwin), the spy team is disbanded and its top operators absorbed into the CIA. All except one, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), who becomes a fugitive. But his real mission is to track down the leaders of the Syndicate, a powerful organization operating from the shadows. With Cruise in full action star mode, and a delightfully twisty plot (plus a great villain), \u201cRogue Nation\u201d is a total blast.<\/p>\n

The first \u201cA Quiet Place\u201d was a great sci-fi horror, and the sequel doesn\u2019t drop the ball. \u201cA Quiet Place Part II\u201d expands the scope in some interesting ways and retains the sterling services of Emily Blunt. It also adds Cillian Murphy to the cast list for some extra star power. It does everything a sequel should: it builds on its predecessor, adds some new elements to the mix, and retains the core of what made the original such an intense and emotional ride.<\/p>\n

Set in the aftermath of \u201cA Quiet Place\u2019s\u201d finale, the Abbott family, led by mother Evelyn (Blunt), set off into a dangerous world in the hopes of finding fellow survivors. For the unaware, in the \u201cA Quiet Place\u201d universe, Earth has been overrun by deadly alien creatures that hunt using sound. It\u2019s a great setup for some nerve-shredding scenes, and the premise is used to its full potential in this stellar sequel. If you missed out, now is a good time to get caught up, as \u201cA Quiet Place Part III\u201d is set to arrive in summer 2027.<\/p>\n

Rotten Tomatoes score: 91%<\/a>
