Are the IMAX scenes incredible looking? Sure! But for me the switching framing is pointless and distracting. You can't recreate the IMAX experience at home unless you sit 2 feet from your screen. The IMAX scenes are shot with 2.35 framing in mind so we're not getting any useful information anyway. At least watching in an IMAX theater the switching framing isn't as distracting because everything is just plain huge! At the IMAX theater I go see movies at I actually have to force my eyes up and down to see the entire screen when the scenes switch back and forth... and I generally sit towards the back of the theater. After scanning the entire frame admiring how cool the scene looks I'm back to watching where the important action is... in the center. Certainly it looks like I'm in the minority with my opinion. The perfect solution is to just offer both options on the release. Not sure why this hasn't happened yet. And it's not distracting at all. I didn't even notice the aspect ratio switch half the time I was watching Tron Legacy or The Dark Knight. :shrug: But you are right that the action is at the center and I do agree that the option should be given. Either as a store exclusive or two separate sets. |

Fuck no to Store Exclusives. If TDK has it...all must have it..or at least make it an option. Fuck store exclusive.

Re: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - 4/17/12
Changing aspect ratios is cool to have, but personally not a deal breaker. I don't think it adds much on my 50" Plasma versus the effect when I saw it in IMAX.

Re: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - 4/17/12
Personally for me, I don't care about the IMAX issue.
I don't own a 50-70 inch HDTV, so all I care about is clear 1080p picture and of course the extras. |
Re: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - 4/17/12
Just an FYI but it appears the 3-disc edition might be a Best Buy exclusive:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Mission+...ocol&lp=2&cp=1 They have that one and another one listed. Given I still haven't seen the 3-disc version up on Amazon, seems like a possibility. |
Re: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - 4/17/12
Got this in today and can confirm the 3-disc set is a Best Buy exclusive...

Re: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - 4/17/12
So TheMovieMan, how many more extras does the Best Buy exclusive have? I currently have a pre-order at Amazon and was wondering if it's worth cancelling to get this version instead?

Re: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - 4/17/12
Great, so Shooting in IMAX is one of the extras - yet we don't get the movie in the IMAX ratio.

Re: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - 4/17/12
Thx
I went ahead and cancelled my Amazon order. I have a Best RZ Coupon, so I will use that towards this 3-disc release. |

Re: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - 4/17/12
[QUOTE=TheMovieman;11170580]This is from the press release. I've bolded what's only in this "Limited Edition":
Blu-ray (Disc 1) · Feature film in high definition Blu-ray (Disc 2) · Mission Accepted o Suiting Up In Prague o Heating Up In Dubai o Vancouver Fisticuffs · Impossible Missions o The Russian Prison o Shooting in IMAX® o Art Department o A Roll of Film o Life Masks o Stepping into the Storm o The Sandstorm o Dubai Car Crash o Lens on the Burj o Props o Composer · Deleted Scenes with optional commentary by director Brad Bird o Including an Alternate Opening · Trailers DVD (Disc 3) · Feature film in standard definition So all told, an extra 10 featurettes... Unless I read wrong, the extras you've bolded seems to be also included in the "non-exclusive" Blu-ray, as noted from High-Def Digest review: http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/6566...ssible_gp.html |

Re: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - 4/17/12
Does the Best Buy set feature changing aspect ratios or is it constant 2.40:1 like the standard release?
