Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Product Review

Original soundtrack to the 2011 major motion picture composted by Michael Giacchino. The IMF is shut down when it's implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his rogue new team (including Paula Patton and Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner) must go undercover to clear their organization's name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this.

Solid score with a smokin' hot take on the theme., January 10, 2012

Giacchino is one of the hot composers now in Hollywood, hot off an Oscar for his wonderful score for "Up". He has a special relationship with J.J. Abrams, and his Lost and Alias scores have some of the most consistently lovely and interesting scoring that I have heard in a television show. All of this had me quite excited about the Ghost Protocol score, and I couldn't wait to hear it. It is good--but honestly, it is not as original as I had hoped for. I heard an interview in which Giacchino discussed his interest in including a lot of regional instruments and sounds as the fabric of the score. To be fair, this has been accomplished, but the resultant score does not sound as original as I had hoped. Ultimately, this is a solid action movie soundtrack, with great strings, good percussion, and an exciting throbbing beat. The famous and fantastic theme from Mission Impossible is blended well throughout, and the actual theme itself is very stylishly done. The redo of the theme...Read more

Slightly better than the last score., January 2, 2012

The movie is great, much better than the lackluster (but still good) "Mission: Impossible III." That being said, I enjoyed the music for "Ghost Protocol" more as well. I'm still not a fan of recordist Dan Wallin's awful mixing, but at least he separates the brass instruments this time around instead of confining them to the center. The orchestra still sounds like it was recorded in a tiny garage, though, and I pray one day composer Michael Giacchino ditches Wallin and goes with a better engineer.

Excellent Score. Mission: Accomplished., January 4, 2012

This review is from: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (MP3 Download)

Note: I have the score as mp3.

After a rousing and action-packed score for M:I-2, can it be repeated for Mssion: Impossible-Ghost Protocol? (I didn't bother with the score for M:I-III, as the movie itself was a major disappointment, in my opinion). The answer is an explosive YES. The music is really good, from the action-packed opening sequence until the climatic finale. "Your mission, should you choose to accept it..."
