There were two III BD releases--the single disc with just the commentary and the Collector's Edition with a second disc of supps, yes? It appears that they've included some but not all of the CE's supps on the HD BD as described by Kylo.

Missing from the above list are:

• Deleted Scenes:
  "Ethan Fight At the Top Of Stairs";
  "Zhen Fight In Computer Room";
  "Musgrave Cemetery Conversation" [interesting in that it reveals a relationship between Lindsey and Musgrave that I think was completely removed from the movie];
  "Lindsey Graduates"; and
  "Vatican Entry Expanded";
  
• Theatrical Trailers (including a Teaser, a Japan Trailer and two Theatrical Trailers);
• Photo Gallery (some nice images here); and
• Excellence In Film (from TC being honored by BAFTA).

(There are also two Easter eggs: one of J.J. going up in a P-51 Mustang and one of an I think AD announcing on set that the night before J.J.'s Lost won multiple Emmys.)

For the 4K combo, it looks like Par struck a new HD BD that includes some of the CE's supp content (while not using that opportunity to upgrade the lossy audio).

I'd wanna get explicit confirmation that all of the content that (site reviewer) Liebman lists in his review is on the BD included in the 4K combo.

Screw Paramount on this release. They've had 10 years to fix some of the worst bluray releases ever. Im ticked off that they would keep lossy audio on the blurays and not update them, and maybe add some new extras. The worst part is that there are bd releases out there with lossless but they didnt use them. The 4k discs are probably crap too and paramount hasn't even finished their collection on bluray yet

No, it’s not. I want to know now aswell. I’m not pre ordering the box set till I know what soundtracks they’ve got and whether they’ll include the extras disc for m:i 3. Paramount have not got a good track record with the earlier releases they they keep churning out with crappy soundtracks etc.

Not a huge fan of their site, but I see the words "New" amd "Grain" used positively.
So fingers crossed.

Some chap on YouTube has done an unboxing and review but doesn’t sound very positive about 1 and 2.

The cheapest I’ve seen the boxset in the U.K. is £69.99 on hmv. £79.99 on Zavvi and £96 on Amazon U.K.

Not sure how reliable this guy is but here is another review

He says Gump is flawless and compared it to SPR, so..
Not very.

It honestly seems like unless the director(s) has heavy involvement in the 4K transfers we just won't see IMAX ratio's being retained.

Take Star Trek into Darkness for instance. The only reason the IMAX ratio got retained was due to a popular petition, heck we may not even get the original ratio with Infinity War coming out soon.
It's a sad time for cinephiles. IMAX Scenes are one of my favourite things about Nolan's movies. Why can't I say that about other directors? Surely they care enough to get their hard work displayed on home video the way it was intended.

Brad Bird didn't really want Ghost Protocol in IMAX ratio on Blu-ray anyway for what it's worth. He thought it made sense for IMAX but on home media preferred a non-shifting ratio.

Yes on the MPEG2 Blu-Ray I've always found the transfer to be extremely odd. Some sections seemed to have processing applied, others (like when they break into Langley) appeared kind of dirty but also untouched. It is a strange and very inconsistent presentation beyond the ancient encoding.

The UHD thankfully doesn't have that problem, though it's a tad uneven in a different way. It's striking how the color seems magically enhanced at around the 20 minute mark, once the team goes "on the run" it's like someone found the HDR button and jacked it up. Overall it's still a dramatic enhancement over the old BD, as you'd expect (and hope).

Cheers!

a) Samsung KS8000
b) Oppo 203
c) Not referencing a DV grade

If Sony had the rights for Mission impossible 1-5 the Blu-rays and 4K UHD would have been reference quality.

For clarification since my post was missed earlier:

Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible II, and Mission: Impossible III are the same 1080p Blu-rays as before. Only the 4K BDs feature Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio to be consistent with the Dolby audio for the follow up films.

Mission: Impossible III includes the original special features disc for Mission: Impossible III. It is not a new disc, its the same disc from 2006 and includes easter eggs.

None of the retailer exclusives are included in this 4K collection.

Re ". . . III includes the original special features disc . . ."

Per my post 883, this is either not accurate or KyloRen's listing of the special features content on the III HD BD is incomplete.

I will update the Special Features as soon as I can -- if there are more. I listed what is shown officially on the slip. Yes, there could be more than what's listed on the disc.

I should start getting to these tonight!

Thanks, Kylo (I think you mean ". . .more than what's listed on the SLIP.").

FYI - No IMAX Aspect Ratio on Mission Impossible 4.
