Anyone seeing this?

My friends and I saw it today, we all liked it.

It was excellent. Saw it in IMAX and I was impressed. Great action, humor; SFX was seamless. IMO, clearly the best of the series.

Did it have Tom Cruise in it? If not it gets best of the series for that reason alone.

That doesn't happen in the film. Isn't Renner going to be taking over the Bourne franchise?

As much as I find anything claiming to be a "Mission: Impossible" property with a tagline proudly advertising "No plan." in the first two words as a laughable concept, I came to terms with the Tom Cruise M:I movies being straight action blockbusters with rare moments inspired by the TV series (self-destructing recording at the beginning, latex masks... actually that's about it.) I've been hearing good things about Ghost Protocol as a movie, so I'll probably try to catch it on the big screen.

Oh yea, for whoever decides to see it, I highly recommend seeing it in IMAX. Some of the best scenes were filmed with IMAX cameras and it makes those scenes even more awesome. 8)

And I have to say, I'm not normally in the habit of spending $15 for a movie, but when it's actually shot in IMAX, you kinda have to....

I hope this allows Brad Bird to make his 1906 (earthquake) movie. If MI:GP makes a lot of money, maybe the studio will decide that he could pull it off.

I concur. This movie is easily the best sequel in the series and seeing it in IMAX made it all the better. Regardless of your opinions on Mr. Cruise, Brad Bird produced a tight, thrilling, and fun adventure movie!
