The early buzz is in. Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, when screened in IMAX, is simply breathtaking.
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocolwill feature approximately 30 minutes of scenes shot with IMAX cameras. Only in IMAX will these scenes expand on screen to reveal even more detail and highlight the jaw-dropping, explosive action.
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Director, Brad Bird:
“To me, the best example of showmanship now is IMAX. I wanted the first people that see the film to see it big with a sharp image and great sound systems, so when they went out and talked about the movie they saw, we would know that they had seen it at its best.” - Brad Bird, Director Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Los Angeles Times, November 2011.
