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

[BMM]

I'm glad 3, 4 and 5 are in their own boxset as I don't really care to own 1 and 2 in 4K.

I understand the need for the bigger cases in the UK for security in some stores but why can't they use the normal sized ones with boxsets?

[Geoff D]

The 14mm spine cases ARE "normal" to us, that's the point. They're not going to bother doing two different print runs just to put some into a boxset.

So no box set in US? Just individual releases?

If you read a page or 2 back, you see that the following box sets were announced for the US :

1 and 2 box set

3,4,5 box set.

That was an incorrect interpretation of the Press release:

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 will be available separately in 2-disc 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray Combo Packs with High Dynamic Range, access to a digital copy, and previously released bonus content. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3,MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE—GHOST PROTOCOL and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE—ROGUE NATION will each be available in 3-disc 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray Combo Packs with High Dynamic Range, access to a digital copy and previously released bonus material.

The first 2 films will have 2 discs and the last 3 films will have 3 discs each. There is no box set being released in the US at this time.

At least the UK box set is looking like an attractive alternative (once the price comes down a bit).

It's £72 from Zoom in the UK with the signup10 code

Gah, so Paramount are putting the extras discs in the US versions as usual, while the UK version can suck it. I guess I'll just have to do what I did with Transformers, remove the bonus discs from the editions I already have and stick them in the cases.

Thanks. But I'm waiting until it comes down to the £50-60 range, like the Transformers: 5-Movie Collection currently is.

Fair enough

Alright guys, I’m really stupid; so is the US version getting individual releases, or are the first two films getting paired in a set, and then the next theee getting paired in a separate set?

The press release is a bit of a confusion in terms of reading comprehension.

The press release is simply clarifying that the first and second films are both 2-disc combo packs (4K UHD+BD), and that the third, fourth, and fifth films are each 3-Disc combo packs (4K UHD+BD+Bonus BD), each having all previously released bonus features (Including the retailer exclusive bonus discs.)

"MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 will be available separately in 2-disc 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray Combo Packs with High Dynamic Range, access to a digital copy, and previously released bonus content. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3,MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE—GHOST PROTOCOL and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE—ROGUE NATION will each be available in 3-disc 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray Combo Packs with High Dynamic Range, access to a digital copy and previously released bonus material."

Wait, so do you mean that the U.K. set will exclude bonus discs or do you mean it will lack any and all extras/special features? Like, are the U.S. releases packaged so that all extras are included on a separate Blu-ray disc (like most UHD releases) and the U.K. sets dont include any of these (basically, they’re not UHD/BD combo packs)?

That’s probably my most anticipated film of the summer. It looks like they went balls out on this one.

I love these guys reaction for "Fallout." Love their anticipation for it.

Forgive me, but I'm not familiar with native transfers, DI scanning so with these details...

Mission: Impossible (1996): Shot on film, no DI scan, so it's native 4K.

Mission: Impossible II (2000): Shot on film, no DI scan, so it's native 4K.

Mission: Impossible III (2006): Shot on both film and digital, finished on a 2K DI scan, so it's upscaled 4K.
.

Does this mean that M:I 1-3 will look better or not?

I own these from their original Blu-Ray box set and is hoping that the new 4k releases will be better

[imsounoriginal]

#1-3 should offer significant upgrades over the BD. Even if Paramount cuts some corners, the BDs are so weak that it won't take much for the UHDs to win.

GP and RN will likely be less substantial but should hopefully offer enough of an improvement to be worth buying.

To answer the above question, MI3 will look worse than the older films most likely. That is because the DI was created with a film scan from over a decade ago, whereas the older films that were finished on film (no DI) can always be scanned with the newest equipment which makes a huge difference. You are correct that the first two are native 4K whereas the third will be an upscale.

Think of it like this: I recently bought a nice flatbed scanner for my computer. I scanned some 35mm negatives of my college graduation ceremony that were taken in 2009. The photo lab that developed my film included scanned images on a CD that I still have. My scans are markedly better in all respects including output resolution compared to what the lab gave me.

The photo lab scans are like a DI. The equipment is antiquated by today's standards. Having the negatives on hand allows me to use a new scanner to get much closer to the full quality of what was captured on the film when the photos were taken. I can always re-scan my film as I get better equipment and I'm not locked in to decades old gear. That's the big advantage of movies finished traditionally on film as opposed to a DI.

Does that answer your question?

Definitely!

Sorry to all for changing the subject. It's funny that you bring up scanners...

I was actually looking/researching for a new scanner (one being the Epson Perfection V800 Photo Color Scanner) for my computer. I have original photo film (film that photo huts gave back after printing your pictures) from pictures I took years ago and was wondering if I should have them transferred to CD (if possible) or should I just scan my original photos using a new scanner.

I'm not sure that the photo film (negatives?) I have, can actually be used to scan. Their not like my fathers slides (with color) where you can use a projector to show them on a screen.

The Epson V800 is a good scanner and can scan negative as well as positive film. I scan my photos at 4800 DPI as a BMP and save to PNG although you can save as a high quality JPEG too if you want. You can also scan mounted slides and medium format film too.

If if were you I'd scan the negatives myself as I have yet to find any local places that do a better job. Just be sure to wear gloves and handle the film by the edges as much as you can. I use a small blower to get dust off before scanning too.

Thanks, much appreciated. A lot to review and think about.
