Since when has the fourth movie in a series been better than any of the previous three?
Until now, I couldn't think of any. Tom Crusie and a stellar cast bring all the action and story alive in an incredibly fun and action-packed movie in Mission: Impossible ~ Ghost Protocol.
While maybe a tad too much humor was inserted, and that could be argued against, the sheer scope of the action is enough reason to recommend seeing this in IMAX or on an Ultra Screen.
Paula Patton is easy on the eyes for the guys and does a great job as a fighting agent while Cruise gives the ladies a good view of an awesome body for a guy even half his age.
Simon Pegg may be over the top, but his comic timing was dead on.
Jeremy Renner, supposedly the heir apparent to Cruise in the M:I movies, does a good job with the action sequences. His acting was a little off but I can live with it.
I can recommend this film for any teenager all the way up to the grandparents who used to watch the old television series.
A great time and, finally, something I won't complain about forking over ten-bucks-plus for (I saw it on the Ultra Screen).
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Must See in 3D

Avatar doesn't live up to the great story-telling of Titanic, the Alien franchise, or The Abyss. It is very predictable story-telling.
But CGI and 3D are at a whole new level. Instead of the usual, BAM, and in your face 3D, the use of three-dimensions actually adds more depth and texture to the visual elements of movie-going. We're one step closer to Star Trek: The Next Generation's Holodeck.
The movie was twenty minutes too long, but it wasn't boring. Whatever you do, SEE IT IN 3D OR IMAX 3D. 2D will disappoint.
