DVD Review
Tom Cruise ignites the screen in this runaway smash hit that "holds you on the edge of your seat before blasting you out of it." (Howard Rosenberg, Los Angeles Times). Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt, a secret agent framed for the deaths of his espionage team. Fleeing from government assassins, breaking into the CIA's most impenetrable vault, clinging to the roof of a speeding bullet train, Hunt races like a burning fuse to stay one step ahead of his pursuers... and draw one step closer to discovering the shocking truth.

Even better on Blu-ray - Rating: 4/5
I always liked the first theatrical installment of Mission: Impossible with Tom Cruise. However, now that I can view at home on my Blu-ray disc player and HDTV, it's even better!
I had previously purchased Mission: Impossible 3 (my favorite) on regular DVD. But after seeing what the first one looked liked, I started thinking "I need to get number 3 on Blu-ray, too!"
The picture is astounding, along with the sound. The detail crisp and clear. You won't be disappointed.
Confusing, But Always Fun To Watch - Rating: 5/5
Despite the fact I got "lost" several times on the first two viewings, the film was so intriguining I had to keep viewing. It was fun to watch, regardless. After three viewings I finally figured it out! The point is: if you get a little confused trying to follow the plot, don't feel stupid. This isn't an easy story to follow but it gets high marks for keeping it interesting despite that problem.
The interesting characters, good cinematography, fun James Bond-like gadgets, just the right amount of action scenes and one very memorable heist scene with Tom Cruise dangling from a wire all make this an enjoyable two hours of entertainment. That scene with Cruise trying to break into this vault-like room remains as the one of the better tension-filled scenes I've ever witnessed on the big screen.
The final action scene with the speeding train and helicopter also is very memorable. John Voight, Emmanuelle Beart, Henry Czerny and Jean Reno make it a fun cast to watch, too.
Now that it is available on a good Blu-Ray transfer, I may just buy this again and keep watching it for many more yeas.
BLUE RAY BETTER VERSION THAN ANY OTHER VERSION - Rating: 4/5
Finally the version we have been waiting for. All the DVD versions were really poor transfers. There is much to be said about the screwy screen version of super TV series.
However my focus is mainly on the quality of the Blu Ray transfer which is quite good. The picture is crisp and sound is excellent . Some cool special features, wish they had the music video for the film. Overall a good buy if you want to see how Blu Ray works on old movies.
the First Mission to get crazy!! - Rating: 5/5
A great vision of the old versions, comes with a tom cruise, that hardly move the face but the act is very good.
Very good - Rating: 4/5
I had a VHS version before, but this one comes with some extra features. I am very satisfied.
