Mission Impossible Quadrilogy [Blu-ray] [1996] [Region Free]

It took Mission Impossible a few films to find its formula. The fourth movie is by far the best. The third is very good. The first two have their moments and great actors. Cruise was younger at the start but the stories, scripts, action, humour, heart, entertainment got better in this franchise. The fifth and sixth brilliant instalments are not included. But one to four are. Worth it for four alone. Great cast. Great story. Great entertainment.

Tom Cruise is one of those actors that I really don't like but I find him in films I enjoy and so it is with the Mission Impossible franchise. These films suit Cruise in that the role feels like one he was destined to do and I have to give him credit as he does a great job in these films so if I can see past that and love these films then I can only imagine what people who like Cruise must think of them. A great series with amazing action scenes and brilliant acting throughout.

I got this box set for my Partners Birthday it was great value and I've watch all four discs before wrapping it up ! It's really good for anyone who enjoys Mission Impossible.

I love all the Blu-rays that I bought. I had not intended to re-buy movies on blu-ray that I already had on dvd, but after buying the Harry Potter set at such a great price with prompt delivery. I bought seven of the "sets": Mission Impossible, The Mummy, Indiana Jones, Toy Story, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, and the Bourne series. The prices were unbelievable and they all play fine. I am especially happy with the Toy Story series as I have waited a long time to buy it in the States and can't. I bought this set, and while the title didn't say Region-free, the detail did. And yes, it, along with all of the others played fine on my U.S. blu-ray (well, I just made sure the machine could read them). Delivery was another issue. They did not come when promised. I called Amazon and the were VERY good about it. They offered an immediate refund, no questions asked---except, I didn't want a refund. So, they changed it and resent it. I received Jurassic Park by itself, and as of 3/14/13, still have not received the other six. However, the original box arrived about 3 weeks late, ripped open, but will all of the blu-rays still there. Well, at least I got them, they all play, the price was FANTASTIC, and Amazon service gets an A+ for caring. I tell all my friends to order from the Amazon UK site. Oh, I was very surprised to to see that the price shown INCLUDES shipping, which I didn't find out until I ordered. Again, just make sure anything you order says REGION-FREE somewhere in the product.

VERY GOOD DVD

I'm not a massive fan of Tom Cruise and that's the main reason why I never fancied watching Mission Impossible. Let's face it, first and second parts were rather bad, but parts 3 and 4, I really enjoyed them! They got me hooked, I needed to watch part 5 immediately and looking forward to the newest one.

What’s not to like

All 4 movies are absolutely fantastic, but it's the Blu-ray conversion that lets them down. Absolutely no effort seems to have been put in by Paramount to transfer the movies to Blu-ray. MI:1 has a grainy conversion which looks good in parts, but is almost blurry in places. MI:2 is a marked improvement but has many scenese where there's also a soft blur, especially on long distance shots. MI:3 is the first one out of the bunch to actually impress, and MI:4 must have had an official Blu-ray release from the beginning as it is the best looking and sounding of the bunch. As far as the movies go: MI:1 - Remains an absolute classic Brian De Palma thriller. It has a good plot and is well placed. The Langley break in is still every bit as good as I remembered. MI:2 - I loved this when it was released, but I was a naive teenager back then! It has not aged well and is easily the worst MI movie of the bunch. John Woo delivers with some great (albeit cheesy) action sequences making it very watchable. But it's a bit too tongue in cheek for my liking. MI:3 - I was a massive fan of this too when it was released but it clearly suffers from classic JJ Abrams storytelling where there's a lot of blanks and mysteries that you have to fill in as a viewer. However, Seymour Hoffman has an excellent turn as the villain and should have been utilised more. The bridge sequence in this movie is quite possibly one of my favourite action sequences ever. MI:4 - this has some fantastic locations and a pretty decent plot. The action sequences just get better and more innovative. Lowest point of this movie was Brij Nath...why, oh why! The recent conversion of the MI series to 4K will hopefully yield a new box set containing properly remastered Blu-rays once MI:6 is released. My advice is to hold out until then.

Mon commentaire n'est pas très complet. Je tiens simplement à écrire que je suis satisfait de ce coffret. Son prix est abordable (~20€). l'image est bonne en général, les bonus intéressants. Bref j'ai revu ces films avec plaisir.

It was a very enjoyable movie. Liked storyline. Lots of action. Looking forward to Part 2.

Edito el comentario para decir que ya me ha llegado, y una vez probada decir que las cuatro peliculas están en perfecto castellano, a destacar la calidad visual de la cuarta parte, Protocolo Fantasma, que es practicamente de referencia dentro del catalogo Bluray. Una compra obligatoria para todo aquel al que le gusten las pelis del agente Ethan Hunt, y mas a este precio.

Acquistato a natale a 29€, il cofanetto comprende i 4 film della saga (1 BD per ogni film) ognuno confezionato singolarmente pertanto è meglio chiamarlo contenitore e basta. Detto questo analizziamo i vari film all'interno: * MISSION IMPOSSIBLE Da un punto di vista di trama e di scenggiatura, sicuramente il migliore. Qualità video (AVC) non eccezionale ma cmq superiore al DVD. Alcuni primi piani sono totalmente sono fuoco e non ci capisce il perchè. Qualità audio molto buona anche se non in HD (è un 5.1DD, come per gli altri film). Extra molti e interessanti in SD. Voto FILM: 5/5 Voto AUDIO: 4/5 Voto VIDEO: 3/5 * MISSION IMPOSSIBLE II Da un punto di vista di trama e di regia, questo è invece il peggiore della serie. Lunghe scene inutili e talmente assurde che ti costringono quasi ad andare avanti come la lunga sequenza in moto alla fine. Qualità video (AVC) leggemente superiore a quella del primo film ma cmq niente di eccezionale. Per l'audio stesso discorso fatto in precedenza. Extra molto validi anche in questo caso (in SD). Voto FILM: 2/5 Voto AUDIO: 4/5 Voto VIDEO: 3/5 * MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III Superiore al precedente ma non eguaglia il primo. Buon film in generale in ogni caso. Qualità video (MPEG2) scadente. Se i primi due film sono stati prodotti belli nuovi per questa edizione e per il cofanetto con i primi tre film, in questo caso è la stessa versione uscita alcuni anni fa, nel 2008 forse. E si vede: tantissima grana un po' ovunque pur essendo un film del 2006. Per l'audio stesso discorso fatto in precedenza. Extra pressochè inesistenti. Voto FILM: 3/5 Voto AUDIO: 4/5 Voto VIDEO: 2/5 ** MISSION IMPOSSIBLE IV PROTOCOLLO FANTASMA Anche in questo caso superiore al precedente ma non eguaglia il primo anche se la trama è cmq molto interessante. La regia di Bird cmq si vede e assistiamo a dei momenti di vera tensione e genialità un po' come per il primo film (scene memorabili e ricche di tensione sono all'interno del Cremlino, durante la scalata del Burj Khalifa a Dubai) Qualità video (AVC) finalmente di qualità: scene nitide praticamente sempre. Per l'audio stesso discorso fatto in precedenza. Extra molti e in HD. Voto FILM: 4/5 Voto AUDIO: 4/5 Voto VIDEO: 5/5

It's been a while since I have seen these movies. So far, I have re-watched MI 1 to 3 and I have enjoed every one of them. It's great to watch them on blu ray. Great price too and amazing quality.
