Info: 'Mission: Impossible'...

Long have I researched this film, and long has it been stuck with poor outdated transfers. After seeing a print last night here are my notes:

The print had a soft focus but otherwise superior to video. The only difference in picture I noticed is that in the opening setup, Ethan’s revival of Claire is bathed in the same pink lighting as the fake hotel room set.
The audio was the optical 2.0 matrix and has the low end of the Laserdisc audio tracks.
The film as photographed is full of texture and depth. Gorgeous in many places, and it should look amazing on BD. But Paramount does not care.

The Laserdisc has low end not on any DVD and remains the best audio release. I’m positive it is the theatrical audio track untouched. The 5.1 is better than the 2.0.

The Blu-ray is a massaged port of the HDDVD with lossy audio. I hope to import the AVC encoded Scandinavian BD with lossless audio to compare.
Does anyone have the HDDVD or has anyone compared DVD to HDDVD or BD?

LD quality 5/5
The letterbox DVD is okay but the audio is compromised. The DVD reissue is anamorphic but the same.

That figures. It does seem to make some improvements in HD compared to SD but I’m hoping the import has the same audio as the laserdisc.
