About this deal

I'm also not convinced De Palma has ever been a great action director. Sure, he always comes up aces when concocting really crazy, complicated sequences powered by wildly-intricate camera moves, but his languid pacing is still more suited to dramas and thrillers (the latter of which remain his raison de entre). Even the climax on a speeding bullet train is hampered by flat pacing, illogical physics and dated CGI. Had the plot been more coherent, and the thriller aspects brought to the fore, De Palma might have made for a more compatible choice. Instead, 'Mission: Impossible' feels like a dull TV movie blown up to big-screen proportions. With that, a series this popular and complex leads to salary disputes and scheduling conflicts so there was a bit of turnover. Leonard Nimoy coming into the series in the fourth season as Paris was a smart piece of casting. He was a natural fit for the show but he also carried a new fanbase to the series after Star Trek ended its run. Lesley Ann Warren and Sam Elliott were two more great cast additions but sadly their time was short-lived. While the regular cast made the show worth tuning in for - the guest stars make the show worth revisiting. Sid Haig, Lee Meriwether, Henry Silva, John Vernon, Warren Stevens, Anthony Zerbe, Mark Lenard, Arline Anderson, and Bonanza star Pernell Roberts and the king of scene-stealing performances Star Trek's own William Shatner among many other famous faces made guest spots throughout the series.

Director John Woo's stylised photography provides even more opportunities to ramp up the dynamic range – although there is occasional ringing around heavily contrasted objects.Couch, Aaron (June 3, 2021).

Sure the film is 22 years old and the effects are a little limited, but the original cinematography holds up spectacularly well, with the new 4K remaster bringing forth a keen level of precision and some hitherto unseen detail that likely - alone - leaves this the best the film has ever looked. De Palma's crazy camera-angle close-ups look fabulous, better than ever before. Effects hold up remarkably well, especially considering the 2K restriction on them, with only a scant couple of shots across the entire runtime faltering in what is an otherwise very impressive presentation. And that's even before we get to the HDR and WCG. a b Fuster, Jeremy (March 11, 2021). " 'Mission: Impossible' Director Teases New Cast Additions, Including Cary Elwes and Indira Varma". TheWrap.

Born in the 80s, I was too late for Mission: Impossible when it originally aired on television and I was far too young for the 1986 continuation series. Thanks to a pair of grandmothers who had a love for daytime television and the classic TV reruns that would air before and after their favorite soap operas, I was given a pretty decent recap of events. It wasn't until much later when my parents finally got satellite TV that I was able to catch up with the decent 80s relaunch. By that time I was much older and understood the various IMF team members wore masks - as a kid I thought ripping off their races was just something the characters could do! I wouldn't call myself a diehard fan, I seriously doubt I've seen every episode but Mission: Impossible is kinda like M*A*S*H for me where if I'm scrolling through the channels and an episode has just started, I'm all in. Late-night reruns got me through college and this set has been a big help with an infant going through sleep regression the last few days.

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.
