Mission: Impossible 3 4K UHD + Blu-ray Steelbook

"M:I-3" is the one film of the trilogy that almost never happened - delayed and cancelled so many times we thought it would never come. Ironic, then, that it is far and away the best film of the three. Where the original was a little bereft of big action sequences and the second blatantly self - indulgent in slow-mo shots of The Cruiser's floppy hair, the third strikes the perfect balance between top-drawer action, fantastic acting and an enthralling story-line. Largely due to J.J. Abrams' masterful directing, this film has blistering pace whilst taking the time to give us some truly memorable character acting. The support cast for the film is superb: despite limited screen time, Michelle Monaghan portrays a believably strong but vulnerable other half to Cruise's secret agent. And Ving Rhames' Luther Stickle is also a likeable and interesting performance. Most memorable however is Philip Seymour Hoffman as bad guy Owen Davien. He is a very, very bad man, always one step ahead of things, and the opening scene sets him up as a truly enthralling villain. But this film is all about one person: Tom Cruise. Looking at him move, run , fight, just be on the screen, it's hard to believe its ten years since the first "Impossible". He takes his character to new heights in this third outing, enhancing Hunt's humanity and showing us what really drives the man, what "pushes his buttons". This is helped by the on-screen chemistry with Monaghan, but also with Seymour Hoffman. He steals every scene with one quick knowing grin at the screen, and not just in the action sequences (almost all of which he performed himself); particularly memorable is an emotional sequence between Hunt and his wife-to-be, when The Cruiser takes up over 10 seconds of screen time in total silence, yet making it one of the most captivating scenes in the film. In simple terms, this "Mission" successfully completes the sometimes impossible task of a balanced action movie - a perfect blend of non stop, breath taking stunts with top notch acting. The Cruisr on top of his game.

Otstanding movie, especially in 4K.

When I first watched this on release on dvd back in 2006, I wasn't impressed and kinda bored. I decided to give it another try on blu-ray before watching the excellent Rogue Nation. I clearly wasn't paying much attention 9 years ago because I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Then again, 9 years is a long time and it's hard to believe it has been that long since I last watched it. There were a few small surprises in this one. Impressive stunts, good acting, allies relying on each other, and a very neat story too. This is now one of my most favourite action movies, I guess now I appreciate this movie far more than I would have almost 10 years ago. J J Abrams did a very good job here, he also did a good job with the new Star Trek movies, and I'm sure Star Wars: the Force Awakens will be a good movie as well. Picture quality is a bit rocky in area, but for the most part, it looked top notch. I will have to watch this one again very soon before I have Rogue Nation in my collection. There are no decent extra feature for this edition of M:I-3, but I bought the 2 disc dvd version for very cheap, which has plenty and just added those discs to this blu-ray version. It's a quality 3 disc set now. You just gotta do what you gotta do. *thumbs up*

Darker than the first two entries of the mission impossible saga but a great action movie all the same. Fans of Tom Cruise will not be disappointed.

Film is ok but the previous two were much better - this one seems to lack the dynamism of the first and the suspense of the second. Its a bit of a typical blockbuster with lots of action but very very little in the way of thoughtful plot. I thought the first two films were superb and watch them time and time again so was looking forward to this release. But was sadly a disappointment.

Mission: Impossible III is the third film based on the spy-themed television series Mission: Impossible. It's directed by J. J. Abrams and stars Tom Cruise (reprising his role of IMF agent Ethan Hunt), Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ving Rhames, Michelle Monaghan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Billy Crudup, Laurence Fishburne, Maggie Q & Simon Pegg. Location filming was spread across China (Shanghai and Xitang), Germany (Berlin), Italy (Rome and Caserta), the United States (California and Virginia), and Vatican City. Ethan Hunt has retired from active duty and is enjoying contented bliss with his future wife Julia (Monaghan). However, he is called back into action to help rescue one of his former IMF pupils from the bad guys. This brings Hunt into a conflict with evil arms dealer Owen Davian (Hoffman) and sets the wheels in motion for a good versus bad battle that could spell disaster for anyone close to Ethan. If you believed the Tom Cruise haters then you would think that he needed a hit so badly he trundled out a second sequel to the popular Mission Impossible series. However, since this came a year after the gargantuan success of War of the Worlds, and two years after garnering praise for his turn in Michael Mann's Collateral, it's clear this is more than just a cash in job. Cruise cares about the franchise, and tho no quotes suggest it, he possibly felt that Mission Impossible 2 was tepid and not befitting the entertaining core he wants for the series. So enter J. J. Abrams, who slipped into the director's chair vacated by David Fincher (off to work on Zodiac) and Joe Carnahan (upset about the tone of the story). It was an inspired choice by Cruise, for Abrams, already a TV darling after Lost & Alias, wanted to personalise Hunt whilst returning to the techno trickery of Bruce Webber's original TV series. And he got it. What he also got was Cruise on mega action star wattage form and an end product to sit with the best action film's of the year. It also became easily the best film of the trilogy after the convoluted first film and John Woo's safe, but uninspired, sequel. It's silly of course, very much so, but it's the kind of whizz bang silliness that often sinks lesser action movies. It's true to say as well that the personalisation of Hunt, IE: the dreaded romance angle, is nothing less than standard by the numbers fluff. The writing in truth could have done with spending more time with the splendidly vile Hoffman than with the Cruise & Monaghan (engaging and fine enough) axis. While the support cast all fade weakly into Cruise's shadow as he totally dominates from start to finish. But this is about bang for your buck nonsense, where excellently constructed action sequences flow thick and fast and the gadgets (brain bombs are just brilliant) are never in short supply. And so we come back to the Cruise haters, who, I can guarantee will hate this with their every breath. Because this is Cruise: The Movie, perhaps the ultimate superstar vehicle of the last decade? But whisper it to them quietly, he's pretty darn good at the action stuff, and Abrams knows this too, and directs accordingly. A third sequel will arrive in 2011, as an action movie fan I'll be first in the queue. 8/10

Mission Impossible 3 sees Tom Cruise return as Ethan Hunt to retrieve a very dangerous device called the Rabbits Foot for bad guy arms dealer Owen Davian (Phillip Seymour Hoffman), who's holding Ethan's wife hostage as a way to blackmail Ethan into stealing the aforementioned device. The Rabbits foot is really just a Macguffin. What matters here is that Ethan Hunt and his team must risk life and limb to steal the device in order to save Ethan's wife. There's a much bigger focus on the team collaboration in MI3 than the previous films and it makes a huge difference. The action in this movie is just about the most thrilling i've ever seen. That's really all you need to know to be honest. The entire cast puts in a great performance. Lawrence Fishburn is a great addition to the cast as Ethan's hardline boss. The locations are interesting. It's funny at the right moments and it has a good ending. My only complaint (it's more of an observation though) is that the dramatic scenes are a bit overdone for my taste. I think this is perhaps because the chemistry between Michelle Monaghan and Tom Cruise provide little spark. I think the film would have benefitied greatly if Thandie Newton had reprised her role from MI2. MI3 is a five star action movie though. If you're a fan of this genre this is a must buy.

Tom Cruise all ways brings the action in the mission impossible films Phillip Seymour Hoffman plays a great villain and you're got a great director in j j Abrahams what brilliant film
