Mission: Impossible 1-5 4K UHDs (1996-2015)

[define]

mission impossible 2 looks pretty worth from the caps, really good action from master Woo

What are the chances Christopher McQuarrie will push for Rogue Nation to get a proper release with VAR and a 4KI? Like he did with Fallout?

Rogue had a locked AR

Yes I know that. Any reason why he chose a different method for Rogue Nation than Fall Out? It seems the VAR was important for McQuarrie on Fallout I'm just curious as to why the effort wasn't the same for Rogue Nation

They just fancied shaking things up a bit, plus it's good for marketing. maybe after doing one of these already he felt more comfortable to try some new techniques for the franchise. There's a few things in this MI movie that we've never had before in a MI movie.

McQ only agreed to come back for Fallout if he could make it feel like a different director did it, to maintain the whole "each movie gets a new director" thing with this franchise. So part of doing that was to get a different DP, and the nature of the HALO and chopper sequences meant they'd have to shoot digital anyway. If they're gonna change things up, why not go big?

Nevermind. I realized(upon research) the scenes were blown up for IMAX not shot in IMAX which would explain the the lack of VAR for Rogue.

That's how I would personally rank them. They are all enjoyable films and worth watching though IMO.

Thats about it. I have it just like that.

I've tied for GP and MI:1. Has much to do with GP's boring climax after stunning act 2 (Dubai desert storm).

from Best to Worst:

6>5>4=1>3>2

Just to go back to this point: McQ wanted Fallout to feel like a different film from its predecessor, as if it was from a different director even, so he changed over his DP and most of his crew (though still used his Navy SEAL brother for technical advice) and decided to go for some standout IMAX set pieces shot on digital as 15-perf IMAX was too unwieldy for what they wanted to do. It was still shot primarily on film though as that's Tom Cruise's decision as much as McQ's, Cruise being a huge fan of film as well, though when he works with Joe Kosinski then he relents to him shooting digital e.g. Sony F65 on Oblivion and Sony Venice on Top Gun 2.

Dear Mods, please ban him already. Or at least suspend him. Spamming each thread here with the same nonsense is absurd.

What did I miss? There are allusions to something in several threads...

A whole lotta spamming.

So, in other words, a whole lotta nothing.

Some guy was "protesting" about the site's mods and policies and just spammed threads with repeating lines of big red text "SPAM" over and over again.

[koberulz]

Oh, that. Yeah, I reported half a dozen of those the other day, that account was promptly banned...apparently they've got enough time to create another account and go at it again?

Small things amuse small minds I guess.

Not sure if this has been discussed (couldn't find it), but has the 1080 blu-ray (not the 4K) been remastered in MI-1? I have not switched over to 4K, yet, nor have I bought the current blu-ray of MI-1 because of the reviews.

So . . . does this new 1080 blu-ray (not the 4K) look better than the old release?

Same old disc. Warner are really the only ones doing remastered Blu-rays, most of the time.

Darn. I have been holding out (futile) hope for a remaster of MI:1 on 1080. Not sure then if I should just buy the old, less-than-to-be-desired release.

Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Get a cheap UHD player and downscale. That way you can enjoy new remasters and then when you do upgrade your panel the battle is half fought.
