This time around the IMF team must recover a CIA list  that has the names of all the CIA operatives in Europe. Part way through the operation the team is one by one exterminated until only Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is left. Upon meeting with his superiors he realizes that the whole operation was a decoy to find a mole within the operation but as he is the only one left, everyone believes he is the mole.

Desperate, alone with no money, Ethan must resort to recruiting disavowed agents to clear his name and find out who is the true mole.

While the movie is true to the original series with some names, that is where the similarities end. This is a very good espionage thriller although it does lose it's way towards the end of the movie. 

It is a fun romp though.

The transfer is soft at times and not 100% sharp, namely during the opening sequence in night time Prague. Shadow detail is also quite poor in darkened scenes with the blacks also looking somewhat blue at times. There was also some noticeable MPEG artifacts during those scenes. Once the movie gets passed these scenes the transfer settles down a lot. Color is well rendered at all times.

Mission Impossible is presented in 2 formats on this dual layer disc. One layer includes the 2:35:1 aspect ratio transfer which is not 16:9 enhanced. The other layer includes the 4:3 pan & scan transfer. 

This is an RSDL disc. There is no layer change in the movie and it looks as if the layer separates the two movies.
