I'm not certain where we specifically stand with Mission: Impossible in a numeric fashion, so well just go with Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One.
Regardless, it's a terrific piece of entertainment. Possibly occasionally confusing with the myriad of disguises, but terrifically entertaining nonetheless.
Let's get the important attributes out of the way first, and it has been reported that Christopher McQuarrie was highly involved during production - and that is the magnificent blood red Steelbook packaging.
I believe that it has been reported on line, and seen on youtube, that care must be taken whilst attempting to remove the outer plastic wrapping so as not to any any way damage the Steelbook within.
My example was shipped in a standard bubble mailer, and consequently, as it was bumped on the right obvers, will never attain a high grade when eventually graded. I doubt that it will reach the high 50s.
Fortunately, the discs held within were unaffected.
I was able to view the film theatrically, and can attest to the fact that Paramount's new 4k UHD release accurately portrays what I saw projected via a 4k DCP. Further, I would bet that if one ran this 4k disc in a theatrical setting, it would be an extremely pleasing experience, even on a large screen.
Part Two is currently in post, and scheduled for release 23 May of 2025.

Makes use of and works well in 4k - 10
