Once again,
it’s Cruise Month
And it’s
time to look at the final Mission: Impossible movie (at least until Rogue Nation comes out) Mission: Impossible Ghost
Protocol.
In the
director’s seat this time is Brad Bird, known for several other classics
including the Incredibles (an amazing film that serves as commentary on
superheroes as well as a great superhero movie in its own right) and the Iron
Giant
This was his
first venture into live action, with his latest stint being Disney’s
Tomorrowland with George Clooney as the star. I have not watched this movie,
and unfortunately I probably won’t be owing to time and money constraints.
Paula Wagner
isn’t among the producers of the movie (although that might be a wikipedia glitch), despite Cruise/Wagner productions still
being behind it. Instead we have the director of the previous film, J J Abrams,
Cruise himself and Bryan Burk, a frequent co-collaborator with Abrams.
No real production
problems with this one, only noting that this is the first of the movies to be
shot in IMAX. Critically and commercially successful this movie made over $600m
on its $145m budget, becoming the best received in the franchise.
So, with
further ado, let’s dive in
