Customer Reviews

Cruise is in the driver's seat
All three MI Movies has great video shots in 1080p. The audio is superb.

This is the way all "series/ sequel" movies such as Lethal Weapon, Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc should be packaged for Blu-Ray.

I have 3 Sony Blu-ray units displaying on a Sony 1080p LCD, a Pioneer 1080p Plasma & a Sony 1080p projection unit. The video is awesome on all three.

Let's call it the Penultimate, shall we?
MI is one of those franchises like Superman or Transformers, which lends itself automatically to HD. That might make the job of putting these titles out on HD look easy. It seems studios fall into this trap easily, without recognising a very important "difference" between the general viewer & the evolved HD fanatic. Fans of this genre form a large part of these fanatics, yours truly included.

Therefore, when I buy MI on BD, I "expect" the complete frills, bells & whistles. Pristine video transfers, sexy menus, Full HD lossless audio in both DTS (DTS is somehow lsing turf to Dolby of late) & Dolby etc. etc.

We also know that transferring a full width theatre quality content to an 1080p is no big deal. So, there is no excuse for shoddy work at all! HD video must look "very good" on a HD screen, period. Unfortunately, the difference between an MI DVD & BD is almost insignificant. At least on a PANASONIC LCD.

Gripes with audio quality remain with most BD transfers. Surround pans are at times too artificial & lack proper progresson / regression. MI BDs suffer from a similar fate. BDs, in general suffer from a slightly muddled center output. I do not know the exact reason behind this, but guess that the adjustments while considering a home audience are done more via pre-set algorithms, rather than by a physical SPL calibration. I may be wrong, but I have seen this happen with way too many (same titles sound different when compared between a DVD & HD-BD)titles.

I am certain that most recent converts will miss these apparently trivial issues with MI & viewers of our ilk will be termed nitpickers :) But then, HD is special to us!

The MI4 is due soon. Hope that will exceed our expectations.

the mission impossible blu-ray extravaganza
This is one of the most worthwhile blu-ray sets to get..I like cheap and amazon always seems to deliver in that respect. Another amazing buy was this one... Action Hero Collection (The Day After Tomorrow / I, Robot / The Terminator) [Blu-ray]
