MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL (4K ULTRA HD)

Well Like most other people I have had a love hate relationship with the mission Impossible films. I loved the 1st one, thought the 2nd one was ok, in places, but had a bad bad plot and some bad stunts. I liked the 3rd one for its return to the same style as the 1st one. For the 4th one I have to say I loved it. Having Simon Pegg in it changed the way the story worked and having a more fun side to it, like the 3rd one made the film. I loved the stunts and for me, made the film nice and easy to watch. This type of film is not going to change your way of life, make you go and do something for a charity, question the the meaning of man kind or how the world was made. It a film to take you away for a couple of hours to relax and enjoy. Take it for this and you like it, but thinking it change your life then you will hate it. So I have given it 2 thumbs up (5 stars).

Loved it, as you'd expect on this 4th M.I. Outing loads of mind boggling stunts. Beginning With an brutally intense pre-credit sequence in Budapest and a brief, sentimental stop in Seattle, Mr Hunt & Co move from an ingenious jail break in Moscow to Dubai and at usual breakneck speed to Mumba. There then follows fantastic car chases and shoot-outs as Ethan's team use their state-of-the-art equipment and considerable ingenuity to frustrate the film's baddie! Two sequences are breathtakingly stunning. The first is an explosion that supposedly blows up half the Kremlin, with the second seeing Mr Cruise clinging to the plate-glass and stainless steel surface of the 130th floor of Dubai's Burj Khalifa tower, the world's tallest building, with only a pair of adhesive gloves to stop him falling. As with the latest Bond films these filmmakers put the money up on the screen, at least if you'd seen it at the cinema you would rightly have got your money's worth. A great movie to have in your DVD collection.

As some have mentioned, this is not a cerebral experience but I am unsure why anyone watching any Mission Impossible film would ever expect that it would be. This is an action thriller, dumb and brash and extremely unlikely. It is a work of escapist fiction where the audience must suspend their disbelief a little to invest in an over-the-top international espionage and terrorism plot played out by characters who are a little 'extra' human. It is a comic book film of sorts. And it is a very good one. It's fun. One of the main reasons why this works better than the other films in the series is Cruise's portrayal. He is reined in by the director (and, I believe, by himself) in order to give the supporting cast space to act. He is still the 'hero' or main protagonist, there are no illusions about that, but he is far more likeable and grounded in this instalment. And he even has an interesting back story that ties in with Jeremy Renner's (the new Bourne!) character rather splendidly. The plot is ridiculous and the set pieces wholly implausible but they are certainly staged with aplomb and extract much suspense from the situations, as well as even some startling twists. The scenes in Dubai where Hunt has to scale the Burj Khalifa are stunningly silly but palm-sweatingly good. Onwards to Mumbai and then back to Seattle, they certainly rack up a few stamps on their ghost passports. And it is fun to see the team working without back-up and the least amount of gizmos to aid them. The denouement where the new team disband with new missions and the Hunt sub-plot comes to a sad but fitting resolution is a perfect way to both move on and leave the possibility of sequels open. Highly recommended for action film junkies. Art house lovers need not apply - but they already know that.

The item was good

More ridiculous stunts and over-the-top "nobody can beat Tom Cruise" madness. On-par with the previous movie. Better than the first two.

In my opinion, this--the fourth--is the best in the Mission: Impossible series so far. The usual non stop high tech action is supplemented by some truly stomach churning scenes as a substantial part of the plot of Ghost Protocol takes place in and around the Burj Khalifa--the highest skyscraper in the world--in Dubai and involves Tom Cruise's character Ethan Hunt having to scale a large section of the exterior using high-tech adhesive gloves in order to access and hack the building's security systems. The fact that Cruise, as usual, does most of his own stunt work is seriously impressive. Highly recommended unless you suffer from vertigo.

I will start with the basics, first of all this DVD (at this moment in time 24/06/12) is costing £11.99 I paid just over £6 only last week! Come on Amazon get your act together and find a standard pricing policy! That said and stepping down from my soap box..... We purchased it to make up our set of MI movies and.... PHEW!!!! If you are a fan of the MI movies or even if you arent then you really have to buy this one! I will certainly not do a plot synopsis here as there is absolutely no need for one, as almost all the other reviewers have already done so. All I really need to say is if you love your action movies this one is most certainly a MUST! For long term fans I will point out that the usual team characters are mostly replaced by new faces and this is certainly no detriment to the movie in fact it is at times a real bonus! In short we loved the movie and will be watching it again very soon!

I have to say after seeing the first mission impossible all those years ago non of the sequels have even come close to how good the first one was....however....Ghost Protocol has finally met the standard if not surpassed it in places. If only the franchise had gone from the first one straight to this and missed out the mediocre sequels inbetween. I was on the edge of my seat through out, my nails are in tatters, I was really invested in the story and the comedy moments through out courtesy of Simon Pegg made me love every minute of it. When it had finished I wanted to watch it all over again (but was a bit late at night). I highly recommend this latest sequel to anyone who found the first one to be the best, you won't be disappointed.

IMF team has been placed in Ghost Protocol after the Kremlin is blown up, and the team is implicated as international terrorists. Now they are on their own with no backup. The mission is stop a plot to start a nuclear war. So get your popcorn 🍿 strap in 💺 and get ready for a roller coaster 🎢 ride of stunts, adventure, fabulous scenery, country hopping and an amazing storyline 👍 Oh yeah- watch out for that sandstorm.

Ghost Protocol is one of the best action movies of all time & It's thrilling to see Tom Cruise pull off some of the best stunt works especially on the Burj Khalifa. I m a huge MI fanboy. The movie brims with scenes that are exciting and amazing at the same time; they're brought off with such casual aplomb that they're funny, too. ... Ghost Protocol is fast and explosive, but it's also a supremely clever sleight-of-hand thriller. Brad Bird, the animation wizard, ... showing an animator's miraculously precise use of visual space, has a playful, screw-tightening ingenuity all his own. The bluray has only one disc & I got it in the lightning deal.

Tom Cruise is a great movie star. There. I said it. After some thirty years in this business and about twenty-five of those years spent as a bona-fide star, he can still make it work. No matter what you may think of him personally, there is an effortless charm that he brings to almost all of his films. Lately, though, it's been a bit of a slog. With films like KNIGHT AND DAY, VALKYRIE and LIONS FOR LAMBS (Remember that film? Yeah, me neither), he hasn't been packing them in like he used to. Even M-I:3 was considered something of a failure, despite doing over $350 million worldwide. But that's Hollywood for ya: You jump on Oprah's couch and you claim that psychology is a scam, and people look at you differently, even when you're acting. I've loved Cruise's work for decades (except when he's in REALLY lousy films, like COCKTAIL or THE FIRM or VANILLA SKY), and I've admired him when he took risks (like MAGNOLIA and COLLATERAL, even if I don't care for those films). When I heard that he had gotten Brad Bird, the director of Pixar classics THE INCREDIBLES and RATATOUILLE and my favorite hand-drawn English animated film of all time, THE IRON GIANT, I was VERY excited. This is obviously someone who knows extremely creative storytelling, and really knows how to construct a scene. But it was also his first live-action film. But with Simon Pegg returning, and new additions like Jeremy Renner, Tom Wilkinson, and Josh Holloway (despite the latter two had nothing more than cameos, really), and with working again with J.J. Abrams who helped revitalize the series with the third film, I still had high hopes. Then the reviews started pouring in. WOW. People were LOVING this film. And by all accounts, they were exactly right to. The film is ear-to-ear grinning and wall-to-wall action. Not the pensive De Palma action of the first film, and not John Woo M:I-2 mega-ultra gunplay action, and not uncomfortably realistic J.J. Abrams action; but like a snowball rolling down a hill, once it starts, it just gets bigger and bigger and then you find yourself at the bottom of that hill and you await the bliss of the impact. Bird lays the hyper-dynamic (and dare I say cartoonish) set pieces piled one on top of another like the most delicious action-adventure cake you've tasted in years. The haters can keep hating on Cruise, but he really makes this film pop just as much as Bird does. His breezy wit and afore-mentioned effortless charm flow during some of the film, but he gets down to business in a big way. One complaint I keep seeing of this film is how unrealistic it is. Guess what? IT'S MISSION &#*%^@& IMPOSSIBLE!! If it were MISSION: POSSIBLE, then I could accept that criticism. This is not HILL STREET BLUES; It's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. It's not supposed to be realistic at all times. This is by far the best of the M:I series, and I hope that Bird and Cruise team up again soon, because that would be another mission I would absolutely choose to accept.

Great...
