In April, Paramount Home Media Distribution will bring Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol to Blu-ray. The fourth installment in the popular franchise, this blockbuster adventure finds IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, Collateral) searching for Kurt Hendricks (Michael Nyqvist, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), a megalomaniacal terrorist intent on global destruction.
Falsely implicated in a disastrous bombing and on the run from government agents, Ethan and his field team (Paula Patton, Déjà Vu, and Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) find themselves allied with an IMF analyst (Jeremy Renner, The Town) carrying mysterious motives for helping Ethan.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol streets on April 17th.
Wow no good special features? Really? No commentary with Brad Bird and Tom Cruise? And if this doesn't have the IMAX scenes in "full" aspect ratio. NO BUY. Great movie though.
Since Paramount released the IMAX version of Revenge of the Fallen, I have hope. I wonder if it'll be a retailer exclusive like Transformers 2? Maybe that's why they didn't mention it in their press release. Personally, I loved Ghost Protocol. I can't wait to pick it up!
Yeah, so Paramount MAY get this edition right (have to wait until the review so I know how long the "special features" run), but what about the first movies? When can we expect the whole series with DTS-HD or Lossless sound and remastered picture? And while I'm dreaming the impossible, why not a whole new set of special features?
Yes! Trailers! I love trailers. They are actually the only extras i care about. Mission Impossible 2 is the only one of these i won't own, because it doesn't have trailers. Im glad this movie didn't follow the in the steps of 2 in that way, like it did with Tom Crusies hair.
3-disk version, including an IMAX scenes?
But 2-disk version overlap purchase!
There is no need to hesitate to buy the best movies in winter 2011!
I can not wait until April 17th!
* 'Sherlock Holmes-a game of shadows' When released?!
Release date March 27th ..... the exact date?
Quick Pre-Order hoping I wish!
Gosh. Not again we want DTS HD MA & nothing else pls paramount its MI-4 without DTS :-( I really had high hopes pls pls pls consider DTS HD brilliant sound for such a brilliant movie!!!! Pls
How many times does this have to be said. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio = lossless audio! Keyword being LOSSLESS. For those nay sayers just watch Super 8 and Transformers Dark of the Moon.
Like others, I hope we see the shift in aspect ratio for the IMAX sequences.
Here's hoping they don't shift aspect ratios. If they do want to switch between scope and HDTV aspect ratios I hope they make it a setting or stick it on another disc.
So does that mean a rerelease is on the horizon? More importantly, if there is going to be a rerelease of this movie, does this mean the first three films will also have a rerelease and a proper one at that with high def picture and sound and with all the special features?
I haven't liked any of the other Mission Impossible movies, but everytime is see a trailer for this, I want to watch it. Would this work as a stand alone movie?
Yeah, it should work as a standalone, although some knowledge of the third movie is kinda helpful for certain portions (nothing too crucial, though, I'm pretty sure they structured this one as a quasi-reboot anyway, sorta the way Incredible Hulk was).
