A Paramount release presented with Skydance Prods. of a Tom Cruise, Bad Robot production. Produced by Cruise, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk. Executive producers, Jeffrey Chernov, David Ellison, Paul Schwake, Dana Goldberg. Co-producers, Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, Tom Peitzman, Tommy Harper. Directed by Brad Bird. Screenplay, Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, based on the television series created by Bruce Geller.



The fantastic gizmos keep malfunctioning in "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol," and similarly, this elaborately conceived fourth entry in the Tom Cruise action franchise delivers a tremendous early surge of excitement before running into engine trouble. Pixar wizard Brad Bird's live-action debut serves up sights and setpieces of often jaw-dropping ingenuity and visual flair, but it's a movie of dazzling individual parts that don't come together to fully satisfying effect in the final stretch. Nonetheless, a robust marketing push, Imax showings and an ample if intermittent sense of creative resurgence should spell strong, sustained B.O. for Paramount's holiday tentpole.





 

For observers at the time, the relative disappointment of 2006's "Mission: Impossible III" (which grossed a series-low $398 million worldwide) suggested not merely franchise fatigue but a degree of mass-audience disenchantment with Cruise in the wake of his widely mocked PR woes. While the actor hasn't toplined a major hit since then, enough time has passed to suggest a general willingness to re-embrace the star-producer and this durable property. It surely won't hurt that "Ghost Protocol," though unable to sustain its virtuosity over an unusually long 132 minutes, still manages enough sheer fun to qualify as the series' strongest entry since Brian De Palma's stylish 1996 original.




In that respect, it was wise of Cruise and his fellow producers (including J.J. Abrams, who directed the third pic) to place Bird at the helm. Counterintuitive though the choice of an Oscar-winning animator might have seemed, there was every reason to assume, given the helmer's string of creative triumphs with "The Iron Giant," "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille," that his storytelling verve and formidable action smarts would translate more than readily to a live-action canvas.


And for an impressive stretch, they do, as Bird and his ace crew vigorously apply themselves to realizing a globe-trotting scenario (by co-producers Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec, vets of Abrams' spy series "Alias") that provides, for the first time in the series, a sense of narrative continuity with the prior pic. While it's not immediately clear from the outset how Impossible Mission Force agent Ethan Hunt (Cruise) wound up in a Moscow prison, there are enough mentions of Julia, whom Ethan married in "Mission: Impossible III," to orient the viewer and provide the intriguing possibility that this adventure might not be entirely self-contained.
Mere hours after an IMF team busts him out of jail, Ethan infiltrates the Kremlin in hopes of capturing Russian nuclear extremist Hendricks (Michael Nyqvist), yet only winds up unwittingly helping the fanatic escape. Clever sequence makes use of eye-popping gadgetry (one nifty device essentially functions as a massive invisibility cloak) and culminates in a stunning single take of the Kremlin blowing up, a shot made perhaps unintentionally pointed in light of Russia's election woes, and one of several instances in which the widescreen aspect ratio opens up to accommodate the full Imax screen in all its giant glory.







 
In warming up the ashes of the Cold War, the script delights not only in placing its characters in the most adverse possible circumstances, but in continually depriving them of their usual resources: With the U.S. and Russia on the brink of crisis and the American government disavowing all knowledge of IMF (initiating "Ghost Protocol"), the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of Ethan and his ill-equipped, down-but-not-out fellow agents: mouthy tech whiz Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), whose inexperience provides an excess of comic relief; Jane Carter (Paula Patton), a tough-and-tender type bent on avenging a fellow agent's death; and William Brandt (Jeremy Renner), an analyst reluctantly shoved into the field.


Pic reaches a literally dizzying peak at the midpoint, as the team commandeers a number of hotel rooms in Dubai so as to intercept the nuclear-launch codes being traded to Hendricks by a pouty French assassin (Lea Seydoux), whose faceoff with Jane marks the film's most ferocious hand-to-hand bout. Before that point, viewers are treated to the sight of Ethan scaling the side of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, with nothing more than a pair of (unreliable) adhesive gloves. The timing of the cutting here is so sharp, the effect of Robert Elswit's camera placement so vertiginous, that it genuinely takes the breath away; the marvelously light-fingered scene that follows, in which Ethan & Co. must deceive two sets of crooks, is nearly as tense.
After a chase on foot, remarkably, in a simulated Dubai sandstorm, the usual agent-bonding downtime sets in, occasioning a precipitous dip in momentum from which the film never quite recovers. Despite a logistically staggering sequence in a multitiered parking structure, featuring the altogether heartbreaking destruction of several perfectly good Beemers, the Mumbai-set endgame disappoints with its lower-stakes action and a pileup of wan espionage-thriller tropes. Trenchant geopolitics aren't called for here, but for a movie that invokes the not-so-crazy threats of renewed Iron Curtain conflict and nuclear apocalypse, "Ghost Protocol" winds up seeming as flip as it is undeniably cool.





Just under 50 and in excellent physical form, Cruise delivers a typically smooth, professional turn that wisely requires little in the way of strenuous emoting. Pegg, Patton and Renner make appealing second-string company, though the occasional stretches of earnest, character-building dialogue feel especially leaden in comparison with the pic's consummate wit and inventiveness in other departments.



Without aping De Palma's and John Woo's feverish operatics or Abrams' more workmanlike approach, Bird favors a fluid, carefully composed style that understands that stillness and silences can be as effective as kinesis; Kremlin bombing aside, there's a welcome avoidance of excess pyrotechnics here. Second unit director Dan Bradley, stunt coordinator Gregg Smrz and fight choreographer Robert Alonzo merit special mention for their top-class work, while returning composer Michael Giacchino (who collaborated with Abrams and Bird prior to his involvement with the franchise) once again supplies jazzy, propulsive riffs on Lalo Schifrin's classic theme.



Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol … do you choose to accept it?

It's easy to dismiss a creaking franchise built around a creaking Cruise. But you may just find this is the best MI for yonks

Fasten your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen, for you're about to get a sneak peek at the cinematic event of the next 12 months! No, not The Dark Knight Rises or The Amazing Spider-Man, silly. It's the … ahem … fourth Mission: Impossible film.

What's that you say? Nobody's interested in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol – the umpteenth instalment of this shonky spy series? Not even when it's got global megastar Tom Cruise in it? Don't you even want to know how many times the various agents and counter-agents rip their latex faces off to reveal their true identities this time around? No? You are hard work.

And probably not alone. It may prove a difficult mission to build buzz for a belated sequel no one saw coming and few clamoured for. But if the movie does turn out to be a box-office flop, that would be rather a pity. This is a series which is getting better with age, and there are indications that the new film might be the best instalment yet.

MI4 sees Cruise and his team "disavowed" (read: outlawed) by the US authorities after the Kremlin is blown up while our hero, Ethan Hunt, happens to be on an undercover mission in Moscow. The crew have to find the true identity of the bombers while steering clear of the US and Russian agents who are out to put them in an early grave, and they don't even have the support of Mission: Impossible HQ. So a bit like the first film, then.

If you're not a fan of big-budget action adventure, you're probably only reading this post hoping for the chance to have a laugh at Cruise's expense. If so, let me direct you straight to the comments section below, for you'll find nothing here that denigrates the great man. In Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (presumably someone thought that Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol was one too many colons) Cruise is magnificent, the epitome of manly cool. He climbs up impossibly tall glass buildings (specifically the needle-like Burj Khalifa building in Dubai), smashes his way through glass panes at 6,000 ft and then, just when we think he's done more than enough to justify the price of entry, runs straight down said building in a sort of reverse abseil that surely defies the laws of gravity and creaky 49-year-old limbs.

When this film was still a twinkle in the eye of director Brad Bird (he did The Incredibles with Pixar, you know), talk was that Ghost Protocol might see Cruise stepping aside as the series' main man to allow co-star Jeremy Renner to take over the franchise. Not if the scenes we saw this morning are anything to go by. Cruise is centre-stage throughout, though Simon Pegg, Renner and another new arrival, Paula Patton, seem to be getting more dialogue than I remember from the participants in previous instalments.

In fact, there's altogether more chat going on in between the explosions. One of this series' constant failings has always been its gaping plot-holes: Bird and his team have discovered a wonderful way to cover these up in Ghost Protocol: the MI team simply chat them away. At one point Renner asks Cruise why he decided on a particularly spurious decoy ploy which allows the pair to miraculously escape an ambush by machine-gun-toting bad guys. Cruise replies, more or less, that machine-gun-toting bad guys are really not all that bright and will fire at the first thing you put in front of their faces. This is better than completely unexplained plot-holes, though not by much.

This series (particularly the worst instalment, John Woo's Mission: Impossible II) has been largely ruined by its insistence on everyone involved ripping their latex faces off (latex faces which shortly earlier looked just like normal faces, and in fact were normal faces) every five seconds. Only one person rips their latex face off in the scenes we saw this morning, which was something of a blessed relief. There could still be more to come of course – I'm quietly hoping for a sort of Spike Jonze/Charlie Kaufman take in which everybody rips their faces off at the same time and it is revealed that all the characters are in fact Tom Cruise, grinning toothily at each other as the credits roll. The horror!

• Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol arrives in UK cinemas on 26 December.


This is not just another mission. The IMF is shut down when it's implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organisation's name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this. Director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) used IMAX cameras to film key sequences, during which time the picture will expand top and bottom to fill the entire height of our giant screen (over 20 meters high).


Make sure you enjoy the film on the biggest screen in Britain as it's the only place in London to see all the action at its biggest and best.


Get a sneak peak at Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated third and final Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. We are one of only a few cinemas selected to show the 6 minute prologue before every screening of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. 


Tom Cruise may be turning 50 next year, but with Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol he demonstrates that he’s hardly ready to stop considering himself a major action star. Fuelled by his propulsive, sometimes literally death-defying performance, this fourth instalment in the Mission: Impossible series is arguably the strongest of the bunch, piling on the impressive set pieces with a cheeky brio from first-time live-action director Brad Bird. Thinly-drawn characters continue to be the Achilles’ heel of this franchise, so audiences are advised to focus instead on the high-octane heroics.

Cruise remains a commanding presence throughout Ghost Protocol.

Paramount will release the film in select IMAX theatres on December 16 before it lands everywhere domestically December 21. Despite Cruise’s marquee value and audience familiarity with the Mission: Impossible franchise, Ghost Protocol will be entering a crowded action marketplace with Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows and The Adventures Of Tintin also arriving around the same time. 2006’s Mission: Impossible III was the series’ weakest commercial outing, bringing in “only” $398m worldwide, but the betting is that this energetic sequel will help reinvigorate Paramount’s sagging franchise.


Ghost Protocol looks to shake up the series by investing the proceedings with an urgent underdog appeal. Still coping with a recent divorce, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) returns to IMF for a new mission that involves him infiltrating the Kremlin with field agents Jane Carter (Paula Patton) and Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg). But when the operation is compromised and the Kremlin mysteriously bombed, IMF is blamed, forcing the U.S. government to blacklist Hunt and his team and cut off all contact. With the help of government analyst William Brandt (Jeremy Renner), Hunt has to stop a dangerous madman (Michael Nyqvist) from launching nuclear weapons that will start World War III.


This sequel was directed by Brad Bird, who previously helmed the Pixar features Ratatouille and The Incredibles, and one could argue that Ghost Protocol is his live-action version of The Incredibles’ giddy adventure storytelling. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem entirely comfortable directing flesh-and-blood actors – the movie’s occasional heartfelt moments are noticeably flat – but his showmanship is superb, which proves far more important. Without being overly showy or self-conscious with his camera setups, Bird keeps this two-hour-plus film zipping along nicely with smart, efficient action filmmaking.



Like Mission: Impossible III, Ghost Protocol features a jokey, self-aware sense of humour that’s meant to lightly undercut the super-serious, larger-than-life action sequences and desperate stakes. And while this approach can be frustratingly distracting – such as when characters make wisecracks during pressure-filled operations – on balance Bird wisely allows a fun, rollicking air to permeate the film. Consequently, this may be one of the least frightening films about the possible annihilation of humanity, but the fierce proficiency of the action sequences are entirely gripping.


Since it would be unfair to ruin the surprises in Ghost Protocol’s elaborate set pieces, let it be said that the filmmakers have managed to concoct several new variations on familiar spy/action tropes, such as breaking into seemingly impenetrable strongholds and chasing after people through crowded public spaces. But the film’s most bravura sequence involves Cruise scaling Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. It’s a feat of tense suspense filmmaking, not to mention an absolute nightmare for audience members with a fear of heights.


Beyond his dedication to risking his life in action sequences, Cruise remains a commanding presence throughout Ghost Protocol. Ethan Hunt has never been a particularly complex character, but Cruise infuses him with such intensity that Hunt’s generic heroism is immediately amplified through force of will. Though Cruise’ star power may have faded some over the years, there’s no question he can still hold the screen with an effortlessness that shows no signs of diminishing.



Cruise’s supporting cast isn’t nearly as dynamic, with Renner and Patton able to offer little to shallowly-conceived characters. Returning from Mission: Impossible III, Pegg gets some laughs as the team’s nerdy computer expert, but he’s still mostly a comic relief device than can feel extraneous at times. As the film’s villain, Nyqvist (best known from the original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo movies) is disappointingly dull, lacking much compelling to do beyond threatening the end of the world.


Paramount screened Ghost Protocol for reviewers in IMAX, and the movie’s action scenes have extra pop thanks to the larger, enveloping screen. The Burj Khalifa sequence is the most obvious beneficiary, but elsewhere as well the confident, taut filmmaking lends itself nicely to the IMAX treatment. For those who argue that the future of blockbuster movies isn’t 3D but rather IMAX, Ghost Protocol will help bolster their case.


We caught two scenes at the IMAX in London last month, wanna know what we thought?

Last month in London, we got a chance to get eyes on with some early scenes from upcoming action epic Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.

First things first, this wasn’t your regular run of the mill preview. Eager to show off the scale of the latest entry in the series, Paramount had only gone and booked out the BFI Imax for their screening. Roughly 25 percent of Ghost Protocol has been shot using 65 mm cameras and the two scenes we’re set to see today heavily feature the footage.

Producer Bryan Burk was on hand to introduce the footage and said they chose to shoot in the IMAX format for the extra clarity and scale it afforded them, particularly during certain action set pieces. He went on to say that fellow producer and star Tom Cruise was intent on making this fourth film more international, with a more varied cast and locations which include trips to Prague, Moscow, Mumbai and of course Dubai.

The Mission: Impossible films have always been self contained stories and have also distinguished themselves by bringing in a new director each time. For Ghost Protocol, it’s the turn of Brad Bird – a name you might be familiar with from countless episodes of The Simpsons or the writer and director of 1999’s The Iron Giant. But we here at Click remember him most for bringing the finest Pixar film of all time to life in 2004’s The Incredibles. He’s tackling his first live action feature here but as Burk pointed out, his animations have always felt like live action productions and we think he’s going to do a fantastic job with Ethan Hunt’s latest caper.

To bring you up to speed with the story; after an attack on the Kremlin, the Impossible Mission Force (the other IMF) is blamed and disavowed by the American government. Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his team are forced to go on the run to prove their innocence with no backup and little chance to stop World War 3.

We were treated to two scenes set in the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai, where the team – including Cruise, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton – are setting up an operation to ambush a meeting. The first scene begins with familiar elements like subterfuge and latex masks, until tech expert Pegg realises that gaining access to the buildings server room might not be as easy as he’d hoped – forcing Cruise to step outside with some specially engineered climbing gloves in a race against time to access the buildings securities.



As Cruise suits up and steps to the edge of the frankly ridiculously tall tower, the image expands from regular 2.35 widescreen to the eyeball filling majesty of full 1.44 : 1 IMAX. When the camera turns down to survey the sheer height of the building and the actor standing at the edge of the 130 floor drop, it’s a stomach-churning moment. In a good way.

Scaling the building would just be another piece of stunt work in a different film but Cruise’s commitment to the part is nigh on suicidal, clambering around on the outside of the building with the slenderest of harnesses. There are zero cutaways to stunt performers and while it may not be obvious in every shot, the fact that it’s actually the actor putting his life on the line is suitably impressive.



The scene continues with much cross cutting between Cruises progress and the rest of the team, culminating in failing power gloves and a rapid, vertical jogging descent as a massive sandstorm approaching the building. It’s ridiculously thrilling stuff but mere preamble to what they have in store next.

After a cut, Cruise is sprinting at full pace away from the afore mentioned sandstorm, in pursuit of a shadowy figure who has made off with a mission critical briefcase. We’ve become used to more and more exaggerated chase scenes in recent years but this redefines the meaning of the term epic, with no parkour ridiculousness but plenty of environmental obstacles as the surrounding area becomes cloaked in a cloud of particles as Cruise desperately tries to keep up with his foe.

An on foot pursuit becomes a deadly faceoff as both men gain a vehicle, with Cruise able to keep up thanks to a locator in the briefcase, with that beeping arrow sometimes the only indication of direction once the sand fills the screen. That locator is used to great effect during the finale when Cruise tires of the chase and manipulates his enemy into a game of chicken, bailing at the last minute and using his car as a weapon in a moment you might have glimpsed in the high octane trailer.



It’s all for naught however as his quarry escapes, pulling off a mask with a typically Mission: Impossible flourish to reveal his identity - Michael Nyqvist, here playing main baddie Kurt Hendricks.

With a mere two scenes it’s hard to get a grasp of the main narrative for Ghost Protocol, but there’s little doubt that the action is well mounted, large scale and genuinely exciting, with or without the Imax element. Perhaps the most surprising element was the well handled humour, and not just from old reliable Pegg. Renner makes for a great straight man as events get more and more out of hand and the light tone works well against the set pieces to give the film an adventure movie tone which we’ve not seen much of in recent years.

Renner’s a great boon to the series ahead of his inauguration as a leading man in next year’s The Bourne Legacy and there’s support here from the likes of Josh Holloway, Tom Wilkinson and Nyqvist. And then there’s Cruise himself, who has been the engine which drives the Mission: Impossible series since its beginning back in 1996. In a world where movie stars are few and far between, there’s little doubt that he still fits the bill.

As we recently lamented in our look at the top five action scenes of 2011, it’s been a particularly poor year for movie fans fond of a well constructed set piece, as filmmakers lean more and more in the direction of creating trailer worthy moments rather than extended, thrilling sequences. On the evidence we saw in these two scenes and the pedigree of the director, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol looks set to change that, while simultaneously ending the year with a good old action movie bang.
