REEL DEAL Movies and Television: Mission Impossible Ghost Prototcol Review

Now on its 4th movie, Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol sets a new action-filled experience with exotic locations, cool gadgets and tactics and the best part are scenes shot using the iMax camera!

Tom Cruise leads the cast as the IMF spy Ethan Hunt, with a brand new team but faces a very difficult and critical situation after a terrorist bombing destroys the Kremlin. With no plan, limited reasources,  no backup and no choice, the Russian government categorizes the attack as "an undeclared act of war," prompting United States government to initiate a black operation known as "ghost protocol", disavowing the entire Impossible Mission Force. Hunt and his four-person team are allowed to escape from the government's custody as part of a plan to enable them to operate outside of their agency's command structure. However, when the IMF is ambushed, they are forced to operate without any kind of official support in an attempt to locate an intelligence source connected to the Moscow bombing and the attack on the IMF. Also stars Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg,Paula Patton and Anil Kapoor
With many new things for this movie, and some advances in technology after the last MI movie, it helped in developing fight and tech scenes which the audience can relate to. Interestingly fashion was also a key part of the movie which is I think are practical yet stylish in nature.

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol is brought to you by Paramount pictures, United International Pictures and distributed by Solar Entertainment now showing in theaters on December 15 and will have a break on December 25, 2011 to January 8, 2012  however iMax screenings will continue.
