The Incredibles and Ratatouille director Brad Bird dives right into his first live action film with the fourth installment of the popular Mission: Impossible franchise.
With the help of J.J. Abrams & Tom Cruise serving as producers and a highly entertaining cast including Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner & Michael Nyqist, Bird flies high on this absurd yet tightly paced popcorn action flick. Utilizing his animator's eye, Bird's use of the visual space and color is hardly ever wasted. Even the brilliantly inconceivable climax comes off as an action piece from a Pixar film. Good fun and nothing more.

Scientology Impossible: Dwarf Protocol.
Simon Pegg really makes this movie for me.
The first three films were good (MI: 2 not so much) but the added jolt of comedy from Pegg brings so much.
One of my favorites from 2011.
