Jittery 'Mission Impossible' a sprint from start to end – 2 1/2 stars
![With "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol," director Brad Bird makes his live-action feature debut, having made a name for himself and a few hundred million for Disney/Pixar with "The Incredibles" and one of the freshest comedies of the last few years, "Ratatouille." It's obvious but probably needs restating: Live action is a different beast from animation. Audiences perceive acts of violence and outsized physical punishment differently when presented with actors getting knocked around. At the same time, a great deal of digital animation today has effectively erased the notion of stylized unreality and sensorial distance. When a mole whacks another mole with a hickory stick in "Rango," for example, the photorealistic quality of the image renders the act unfunny. It's not slapstick. It just hurts.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-12/66768956-14141306.jpg "With "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol,\" director Brad Bird makes his live-action feature debut, having made a name for himself and a few hundred million for Disney/Pixar with \"The Incredibles\" and one of the freshest comedies of the last few years, \"Ratatouille.\" It's obvious but probably needs restating: Live action is a different beast from animation.

It's still music to Dan Wallin's ears
![Just before noon on a clear fall day, the Newman stage on the 20th Century Fox lot is alive with bright lights, hovering microphones and a full 105-piece orchestra. It's one of the final scoring sessions for "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol," and director Brad Bird and composer Michael Giacchino are listening closely to the music when a man with a snow-white ponytail and baseball cap leans over to whisper in Giacchino's ear. The composer nods and asks the conductor, Tim Simonec, to take it from the top, with a shade less emphasis on the piano.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-12/67036547-30134928.jpg "Just before noon on a clear fall day, the Newman stage on the 20th Century Fox lot is alive with bright lights, hovering microphones and a full 105-piece orchestra.
