Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol Worth A Blind Buy? - Blu-ray Forum

Nostromo · 06-11-2012, 02:22 PM

Happened to come across this on Bestbuy's website for 12.99. I'm a huge spy-thriller fan, and am thinking about a blind buy on this one. Would rent it first, but both redbox kiosks near my house are sold out.

I figure for only $12.99 it might be work the risk.

Thoughts?

If you like the others in the franchise definetly grab it. Even if ur just into action and spy thrillers it's a great buy at that price.

Thanks. I loved the others in the series, except part two. I have a feeling this one will be good, so I think I'm gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on this one.

It was a blind buy at $14.99 for me & I enjoyed it. I'd say go for it. Or rent it if you have a Redbox near you.

Yes. A fantastic blu-ray and it looks stunning (especially all the scenes in Dubai)!!

Why spend $2.00 on a rental, when you can buy it for $13.00, without any viewing restrictions. Our local Family Video stores, are selling used copies, in like new condition for only $9.99. Redbox has it's pros and cons! The rentals are cheap, but the time that you use to drive there to rent the disc(s), and return them cost even more, considering the travelling cost.

I am always cautious when buying Used Copies but thankfully I have not had many bad experiences so far.

Buy the Best Buy BD/DVD/Combo for $12.99. Very enjoyable movie with awesome PQ.

Not for me.

I pass one redbox everyday on my way to and from work, so it's not inconvenient. The other is inside the grocery store that I go to. So neither one is inconvenient.

easily worth it especially for 13 dollars

Same here, and the only other one of the series I really liked was #2.

I bought the regular version for $12.99 yesterday. Wish the BB exclusive version was on sale.

I know.

Will21st · 06-11-2012, 07:28 PM

thought this one was the best of the four... great movie,imo.

dcowboy7 · 06-11-2012, 07:39 PM

No.

Doesnt show the imax scenes in imax aspect ratio.

Figured i would just get that in there since im shocked it hasnt been brought up yet.

FYI:
some best buys will let you match 12.99 to their exclusive.

Dragon Lee · 06-11-2012, 08:42 PM

Absolutely worth a blind buy! M:i-GP is the best film I didnt watch in a theatre. loved it.

Livelong420 · 06-11-2012, 08:44 PM

It blew me away in IMAX.
