Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

The Dark Knight Rises Prologue will screen at the beginning of all Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol screenings.

IMAX Melbourne Museum will be screening 6 minutes of footage from The Dark Knight Rises, shot entirely with IMAX cameras, at the  beginning of every session of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.  One of only two theatres in Australia (and the only theatre in Melbourne!) able to show this footage, see it on the only screen big enough to show it!

Director Brad Bird and Producer J.J. Abrams bring to the giant screen the action packed, entertainment event of the season, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL, due to hit IMAX Melbourne this December!

When Impossible Mission Force is implicated in a terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, the entire force is shut down.  Detained, but allowed to escape, Ethan Hunt and his rogue team are activated as part of "Ghost Protocol" - an undercover mission to clear IMFs name.  No help, no contact, and off the grid.

This fourth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise is only the third Hollywood film ever (after The Dark Knight and Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen) to have select scenes shot with IMAX cameras.  This is not just another mission, with full screen IMAX footage you have never seen a mission grittier or more intense, and the only way to experience it is on The World’s 3rd largest screen!

‘The last vestige of (that) showmanship is IMAX’.  Brad Bird, Director Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Fundamental [to this movie], was Cruise’s insistence that the movie be shot in IMAX.  That’s IMAX, not 3D. 

“You know, we’ve take a lot of showmanship out of how we present movies – the movie palaces are gone, the curtains that pull back to reveal the screen are gone – and for me the last vestige of showmanship is IMAX.  It truly immerses the audience.  It’s really bright, it’s really sharp.  Big, bright images: they are worth a lot.  If your star is going to climb up the outside of a building for real, then I kinda feel as a director you have a duty to show it.”  Brad Bird, Director, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
