Mission Impossible - Impossible for proper audio paramount?

[crashfellow]

I've just had to return my copy of Mission Impossible 3 to Sanity, due to the fact that after buying it i found that it only has Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.

Now to me, this is a dodgy cheap out on the part of paramount, and apparently a world wide issue.

I have to ask, how do the people in paramount consider this a perfectly fine way to release a blu-ray? is nobody checking this sort of thing?

There is a re-release coming out soon, that might have Lossless.

They came out a couple of weeks back. The UK re-releases have been confirmed to be the exact same discs (e.g. lossy audio and MPEG-2 video) and the local art lists DD 5.1 so no luck there.

I think this run might have been the "quick, let's get rid of all the old stock" re-release and that when Ghost Protocol hits Blu-ray we might see a complete collection and remastered single releases. That would fit Paramount's strategy!

I'm fully expecting the same of the Star Trek franchise when Abram's next entry bows in 2013.

Ah right, I was looking at the US release, December 6th

Yeah I was just going to mention the US release, m'Lord. There's a Tom Cruise boxed set coming out (without any of the M:I films), and an M:I boxed set.

But wouldn't the US one just be the same boxed set we recently got here? With DD5.1 audio on all three films?

Well who knows.. remember Warner Bros and Lethal Weapon? we all assumed the Aus set would have been the same as the UK, but it wasn't.. Paramount might pull a similar trick.
