A flashy, splashy summer-movie blockbuster that's fun and exciting without being mindless? That's the impossible mission accomplished by director Brian De Palma, star-coproducer Tom Cruise, and the crack team of Mission: Impossible. Based on the '60s TV show and an almost impenetrably complex (but nonetheless thrilling) original story by David Koepp (Jurassic Park) and Steven Zaillian (Schindler's List), with a screenplay by Koepp and Robert Towne (Chinatown, Shampoo), Mission: Impossible begins with veteran agent Jim Phelps (Jon Voight) and his expert crew embarking on a mission that goes horribly, horribly wrong. But nothing is what it seems. The nail-biting set piece--always a signature of director De Palma (Carrie, The Untouchables)--in which Cruise is lowered from the ceiling to retrieve information from a computer in a high-security vault--is an instant classic. But perhaps even more impressive, at least in retrospect, is a flashback sequence in which two characters attempt to reconstruct a series of events from multiple points of view. It's pretty daring and sophisticated stuff for a big-budget spy movie, but brains were always what put the Mission: Impossible team ahead of the competition, anyway, no? --Jim Emerson

Rating: - Even better on Blu-ray
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
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 ... Read More
Rating: - BLUE RAY BETTER VERSION THAN ANY OTHER VERSION
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.
Rating: - the First Mission to get crazy!!
A great vision of the old versions, comes with a tom cruise, that hardly move the face but the act is very good.
Rating: - Very good
I had a VHS version before, but this one comes with some extra features. I am very satisfied.
