Just as the CIA wants to put under control the "Impossible Mission Force" (IMF), Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) faces the biggest threat to his career as an undercover agent. The mysterious organization "Syndicate" has unmasked IMF officials and wants to use targeted acts of violence to jeopardize the political stability of the world. Ethan Hunt has to fight for his life without the support from above and receives the unexpected help of the mysterious syndicated killer Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson). However, this one seems to play a double game and if Hunt Ilsa can really trust, has not yet shown …

After the fourth part of the series "Mission: Impossible", despite a solid action gave the impression of being so slow If the ideas were exhausted, the "mission impossible" comes back three years later with a quick and varied commitment, which focuses primarily on the action difficult with the use of the body and many crazy ideas. You can tell Tom Cruise that it's now over 50 years old. Nevertheless, he delivers in "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" again many stunts in person, which not only seem very dangerous, but were captured by such spectacular cameras. In addition to use on the outer shell of a launch military transport, the film also offers some quick car or motorcycle chase as well as a spectacular underwater scene.

"Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" is by no means a movie I turn to Tom Cruise. Because the entire IMF team has the opportunity to prove its special skills. This is especially true of Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), who almost plays a supporting role.

Of course, there are also a lot of high-tech and many toys are closer mumpitz. But the film plays with tempo and always a lot of joke. In terms of content, "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" offers a lot of variety and leads the action directly to several places such as Vienna, London and Casablanca

After "Mission: Impossible" since always something in the Shadow of the great "James Bond" shows, "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation", how to stage a very large and state-of-the-art agent film without a license to kill. The producers have managed a special trick, including the replacement of Jeremy Renner as an IMF agent, who has already done well in "The Bourne Legacy" in 2012.

Image 79 %

"Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" was shot mainly with conventional cameras. Only for a few scenes, eg. The underwater images were the Arri Alexa 65 digital camera with a resolution of 6.5k used. For post-production, a Digital Intermediate 2k was used

The film seems a little grimy, especially in dark areas. The noise is very fine on Blu-ray Ultra HD and is sometimes accompanied by color noise. The contrast is very variable and sometimes goes from cutting to cutting. The image is usually very dark and the dark details of the image are often hard to see. The HDR notation is very unobtrusive and is not particularly visible in every scene. Bright image areas often appear a little reduced. Here, you've refused the often blurry appearance of Blu-ray Disc and reserved light reserves for times when the targeted top lights are used for a slightly more vibrant image, which is particularly successful at night with point light sources.

Highly conceited and often comes in the teal / orange Hollywood style with a slightly reduced saturation used. Despite the powerful filtering, the extended Rec.2020 color space is easily recognizable because the hues are often very dominant, which can not be displayed in the Rec.709 color space. However, the filtering is so clear that we no longer see more natural colors, but the artificial color impression is often amplified. While Blu-ray Disc faces were often gold-orange, here the Blu-ray Ultra HD is usually a slightly duller brown tone.

The sharpness of the picture could not really excite even with the Blu-ray Disc and the Ultra HD Blu-ray can not shine with a very detailed picture except for a little more sharpness edges. This seems partly also in the optics of the camera used. Because if you take a closer look, you can often see smaller distortions in the marginal area and, in some cases, images that are not properly focused.

Sound (English) 87%

The English Dolby Atmos-Mix delivers powerful sound with a spacious sound field and warm bbad that makes certain moments of action perceptible . Even in quiet moments, the Music Score usually provides an atmospheric sound in the background. Only in the treble range, something is missing in detail. "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" offers decent effects, which already make good use of normal surround speakers, so that extra Dolby Atmos effects are usually only particularly visible in individual scenes. Especially with flying objects, Atmos height channels are used, but especially the underwater scene of the 65th minute offers a successful 360-degree sound.

Son (German) 84%

The doubled German version must be without Dolby Atmos. It still offers a very good breeding effect. Dynamics, however, can not convince. In times when the mix of the British atmosphere gets off to a good start, the dubbed German version often gives only a slight breeze.
