If you’re a native English speaker or multi-lingual, watch about ten minutes of Mission Impossible in Italian or Japanese for some pretty good overdubs.
Mission: Impossible - Fallout - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Mission: Impossible - Fallout - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray
At least the decent directors' commentaries for the second and third films have been ported across onto their respective 4K platters, and the solid sets of behind-the-scenes featurettes for the first, second and fifth films can be found on their Blu-ray discs. There are no new extras. elements necessary to bring it to life. On the flip side, a high speed train pursuit -- along its top, no less -- that also involves a whirling helicopter near This new print of MI:1 has sharpness, color depth, contrast, and audio intricacies that were weren’t available on previous disc editions. There are details in almost every scene that make watching the film a brand new experience. An American agent, under false suspicion of disloyalty, must discover and expose the real spy without the help of his organization. What a difference 11 years make. Mission: Impossible's Blu-ray debut wasn't exactly the stuff of format legend. Dull, flat, and whollyBased on the classic Desilu/CBS TV series of the same name from the late 60s and early 70s, Brian De Palma’s big screen Mission: Impossible stars Tom Cruise and Jon Voight as Ethan Hunt and Jim Phelps, the leaders of a squad of American Impossible Missions Force agents operating deep undercover in Eastern Europe. They’re tasked with recovering half of a stolen CIA “non-official cover” (or NOC) list of agents, which is being offered for sale in the criminal underworld, and preventing the other half from being stolen too. But when their mission goes bad, and nearly the entire team is killed, Hunt becomes the target of IMF suspicion. They think he’s the mole who leaked the list in the first place. Now Hunt must find what allies he can from among a rogue’s gallery of “disavowed” former IMF agents to identify the real mole and clear his name. The 1996 first film was shot on 35 mm film with VFX finished at 2K, although the film has been rescanned and mastered in 4K, which has been used here for this Ultra HD Blu-ray release.

Since the 4k Blu-ray only includes the movie itself (the main interface on the home screen is minimal in that it only includes Play, Setting and Chapters buttons), the extras need to be watched on the older Blu-ray Disc. There are several featurettes and photo gallery but man, hard to watch that video quality after seeing the feature film in Ultra HD. Undoubtedly the Mission: Impossible upgrade on Ultra HD Blu-ray is one of the most clear-cut of the entire set, providing not only a world's apart difference from the original Blu-ray but also a presentation which is oftentimes pretty impressive demo material. The climax of the scene (looking very film noir) sets the whole premise of the film in which Ethan Hunt must disappear to avoid being condemned as a mole after his entire IMF team is assassinated.

The theme music blares again around the 56 minute mark with much the same excellence, featuring super clarity, wonderful low end support, Both the Fast & Furious and Mission: Impossible films have defied expectations over the years, as each new installment only seems to improve upon its predecessor. But whereas the Furious entries can function as standalone popcorn actioners hellbent at marveling moviegoers with insane vehicular mayhem, the Impossiblefranchise is a smartly-crafted interconnected series that grows and advances with its central hero, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). While also astounding audiences with plenty of stunning visual spectacle and astonishing feats of daredevilry, every new sequel expands on the character's mythos, showing that he and his allies live in a larger universe that affects his personality and decisions. Action sequences are a direct result of his choices, the outcome of a decisiveness that has potentially been influenced by the events of the movies which have preceded it. And it's with this in mind that makes the Mission: Impossible series so entertaining, watching a talented, astute and otherwise sensible individual afflicted by years of sacrifice, conscious of the impact his choices have had on his personal life, as well as the world around him.

In addition, the film is available to watch in 8 different languages (14 different language subtitles) including English, English Audio Description, German, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin American), French, Italian, Japanese and Portuguese (Brazilian). The Ultra HD Blu-ray edition of the film is a must-have for Mission: Impossible fans, 4k HDR TV owners, and anyone who likes this genre of films. The colour scheme is problematic for a number of reasons, with the film looking darker than it was theatrically and thus making Dolby Vision work overtime to pull the shadow detail to the fore. This mostly works, but it's still not quite perfect - when it really should be - and even the peak whites struggle in some of the scenes to avoid being fully overblown. Grain gives the feature a suitably filmic texture, but also won't please viewers who like their features to look very glossy and 'clean'. And, unfortunately, also doesn't quite marry up during the IMAX scenes, which are flawless. image soars. Intimate skin details, clothes, environments, everything is ultra-sharp and finely revealing. Basic superlatives don't really do it justice; Sure, as with the first film, there are a few softer shots, bending to the limitations of the source cinematography, but wow is it spectacular for the most part, and the step up over previous releases is so significant than all the minor flaws can certainly be forgiven. Grain remains stable - arguably even more so than the first film - and all of these delightful highlights come even before we look at HDR, WCG and Dolby Vision.Besting the outstanding upgrade on the first movie this is the best the movie has ever looked or sounded before. The break-in at the American embassy in Prague is still one of the riveting scenes in MI’s film history: you don’t know who to trust, who’s going to die, and which characters are involved in the “ambush” of the MI mission. This opening scene is true to the action/thriller genre and doesn’t rely on any expensive special effects to make it work. Cruise continues to go above and beyond, showing a commitment to the series which reminds audiences that this is Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible, and all the better for it. Whilst the first three films have all had questionable Blu-ray predecessors upon which to found a noticeable improvement, Ghost Protocol already looked utterly spectacular on 1080p Blu-ray. It was an easy demo/reference disc, particularly with all those stunning IMAX-derived shots. Standing in for the opposing side of this philosophical quandary is Solomon Lane, the anarchist leader of the terrorist organization The Syndicate, and his mysterious militant follower John Lark, who views the death of many for the greater good as just — a repeated sentiment from a manifesto he wrote reminding us of the film's central theme. Lane and Lark participate in a vast network of highly fascinating and complex villain archetypes with a loaded sense of purpose, a network that's been steadily growing in the lastcoupleof years. In Fallout, they seem smarter and more competent than our hero due to a committed, near fundamentalist faith to their cause, an unshakable devotion to an objective bred from a principled morality that's curiously relatable and morbidly logical. This adherence to achieving their goal is a bleakly problematic challenge for Hunt because how does one efficiently combat such conviction. At one point, Lane rejects, and even feels offended by, his actions being associated with terrorism, seeing violence as a tool for bettering humanity.
