(Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times). Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt a secret agent framed for the deaths of his espionage team. Fleeing from government assassins breaking into the CIA's most impenetrable vault clinging to the roof of a speeding bullet train Hunt races like a burning fuse to stay one step ahead of his pursuers... and draw one step closer to discovering the shocking truth.System Requirements:Running Time: 110 Mins.Format: DVD HD Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG - 13 UPC: 097361198842 Manufacturer No: 119884 Amazon.com essential video: A flashy, splashy summer-movie blockbuster that's fun and exciting without being mindless? That's the impossible mission accomplished by director Brian De Palma, star-coproducer Tom Cruise, and the crack team of Mission: Impossible. Based on the '60s TV show and an almost impenetrably complex (but nonetheless thrilling) original story by David Koepp (Jurassic Park) and Steven Zaillian (Schindler's List), with a screenplay by Koepp and Robert Towne (Chinatown, Shampoo), Mission: Impossible begins with veteran agent Jim Phelps (Jon Voight) and his expert crew embarking on a mission that goes horribly, horribly wrong. But nothing is what it seems. The nail-biting set piece--always a signature of director De Palma (Carrie, The Untouchables)--in which Cruise is lowered from the ceiling to retrieve information from a computer in a high-security vault--is an instant classic. But perhaps even more impressive, at least in retrospect, is a flashback sequence in which two characters attempt to reconstruct a series of events from multiple points of view. It's pretty daring and sophisticated stuff for a big-budget spy movie, but brains were always what put the Mission: Impossible team ahead of the competition, anyway, no? --Jim Emerson Amazon.com: A flashy, splashy summer-movie blockbuster that's fun and exciting without being mindless?

 Rating:  - Very satisfied customerI was amazed how quickly my DVD came and in such great condition. I highly would recommend going Amazon.Com. Rating: - Good action movieIts really a collectors edition. All the 1st part of the movie series are the best, like wise.......... Rating:  - Good Morning, Mr. Phelps!Blu ray transfer is pretty good, both video & audio, way better than DVD. I'm happy with it. Worth paying extra for blu ray. Rating: - An Extraordinary Tom Cruise Vehicle From Start To Finish"This mission will self destruct in five seconds". That is a classic line in movie history that everyone should know. Mission Impossible is based on the popular TV series that spawned 7 seasons. This motion picture adaptation is a wonderful treat indeed, it includes espionage, action, suspense you name it this movie hits the nail on the spot. The only thing about the movie that..well isn't bad but troublesome is the plot which is quite confusing but then again that is what makes the film shine; so ... Read More Rating: - almost cartoony but watchableI have the standard DVD which was good but the HD DVD is super;highly recommended. As for the movie,it is good but the main point is that it is one of those few movies which allows repeated watching without becoming boring. One of the reasons why it is so, is that it will make you go back to 'CIA break in' and wonder how they did it;being a SINGAPOREAN, I think they made it look too easy to infiltrate the CIA. Thanks |
