Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman June 23, 2018

Paramount has released the Brad Bird/Tom Cruise Action film 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' to the UHD format. The disc replaces an excellent 2012 Blu-ray. While this UHD adds no new extras and simply ports over the existing Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless soundtrack, it does feature new 4K/Dolby Vision video.


IMF agent Trevor Hanaway (Josh Holloway) is killed in the line of duty whilst smuggling critical files out of Budapest, files containing nuclear launch codes that are the only thing standing between peace and all-out armageddon. Meanwhile in Russia, IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is freed from prison with the help of agents Carter (Paula Patton) and Dunn (Simon Pegg). His mission: infiltrate the Kremlin, track down an elusive figure known as "Cobalt," retrieve the launch codes, and prevent nuclear holocaust. The infiltration proves successful, but the mission fails when the files cannot be located. The team's safety is jeopardized when an explosion rocks the Kremlin and Hunt's team is blamed. Russian- American tensions escalate to unprecedented heights, the IMF is disavowed by order of the President, and Hunt and his team must go rogue to track down Cobalt and prevent the unthinkable. With no backup, little time, and only a few resources, the team must travel the globe in an effort to save humanity from a madman with his finger on the deadliest trigger of them all and a plan to wipe humanity off the face of the Earth.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 4K Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality  5.0 of 5

Wow. This is a relatively new movie that makes the transition to UHD with a leap and a bound over the previously released, and excellent, Blu-ray. The image just takes over the screen and dominates the viewing area like few others. The intensity of color, the precision of detail, the cinematic texturing...everything about it immediately screams "reference." While the previously released Blu-ray aced the 1080p format, this UHD reveals there was much room for improvement. Textural bounties are substantial and an honest upward movement from 1080p. Skin tones are much more refined, with greater depth to pores, complexity of fine lines, and more able revealing of of sweat, blood, and the like. Clothing textures are wonderfully presented, with special mention going to dense fabric Russian military uniforms that are critical to a sequence in the first act. The clarity of lines and detail of adornments are superb, and the tactile nature of the fabric really stands out; it would almost be a surprise to touch the television and feel glass rather than material. The film takes place across a number of different environments, including many dense city locations where the image finds, grabs, and reveals every little micro-texture, near the screen and far from it, with amazing clarity. Granular presentation is constant and very agreeable. It's largely evenly distributed and lends to the image a first-class filmic texturing that, even on a (relatively small) 65" screen absolutely recreates the feel of being in a well maintained first-run cinema.

Yet for as big an impact as the add to textural definition may be, it's the Dolby Vision color palette that makes all the difference. This is a brilliant, almost at times blinding, presentation. Every scene finds a significant boost to color vibrance and nuance alike. The 12-bit Dolby Vision coloring manages to intensify the palette, even in darker scenes, yet still maintain tonal balance and expert contrast. Every color, even bland grays, enjoy a significant increase in saturation and accuracy. Whites are perhaps the greatest beneficiary. The added pronouncement to white levels is incredible. Look at a shot at the 15:40 mark where Simon Pegg's character is racing down a staircase, surrounded by a fairly large amount of screen-filling white paint around a gray staircase and large off-gray and light blue circular support accents. The absolute increase in brilliance is astonishing, and flipping back and forth to conduct an A-B comparison is a near-blinding experience when the input is switched to the UHD. The Dolby Vision take on the scene looks so much more alive in the shot, and in pretty much every other place in the film, too. Bolder colors never move away from that balance between firm saturation and stability and great intensity. Black levels are superb, inky and refined yet still much more alive and healthy than the Blu-ray. The new and improved color density and shine is breathtaking. The one, very minor, drawback is that a few shots are so brilliant as to border on being overpowering and maybe a touch artificial or plastic-y, but such are few and far between: this is an absolutely stellar UHD release from Paramount.

Unlike the previous three Mission: Impossible films to receive UHD releases, Ghost Protocol does not include a new soundtrack. It simply recycles the same (excellent) 7.1 Dolby TrueHD lossless presentation from the 2012 Blu-ray. For a full audio review, please click here.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.5 of 5

Ghost Protocol is another entertaining Mission: Impossible film -- one of the best of the five (and soon to be six) -- and its UHD release is top-class. The new 2160p/Dolby Vision native 4K presentation is a striking example of the format's capabilities, even in bringing new life to a relatively new movie that has already seen an A-grade Blu-ray. No new audio or extras are included, but both are already great as-is (still a shame about the Atmos absence). Highly recommended.
