…….is to infiltrate your local movie theater and enjoy Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.
This is going to be a two phase campaign. First, I need to get into the movie theater. For that I will add Fandango to my team. Second, I will have to settle into my seat for an exciting ride through the world of Ethan Hunt and his IMF team.
Phase One: Access Fandango for movie tickets
*Head on over to Fandango.com and enter your zip code and hit the arrow key.
*Find your local theater in the listings. Choose the movie and showtime you want. Hit the “Tickets” key.
*Complete checkout process and head to the theater.
The process of getting the tickets was painless and took less than 5 minutes. It is very easy to access the information and the checkout process is similar to any online website. There was a $2.50 convenience fee for the transaction. Fandango does have kiosks at some local theaters that allow you to bypass the ticket counter. In my case, the kiosk was broken, but a swipe of the card I used at the counter produced the tickets. It was pretty much hassle-free.
Phase Two: Settle into Seat for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
In this recent addition to the Mission Impossible franchise Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his newly assembled team are sent on a mission that quickly goes bad. Their cover is broken mid-assignment. In the process they are blamed for an incident at the Kremlin that sets the US and Russia on the path to pre-Cold War relations. IMF is disavowed by the US government and the President activates the Ghost Protocol in an attempt to stabilize relations with Russia.
Ethan and his team work against the clock to find a nuclear strategist with plans to plunge the world into a post-nuclear war world. As in all Mission Impossible movies, you will be treated to views of exotic locations that only a few will ever experience in real life and you get to see the latest spy gadgets and technologies in action. Over the the course of two hours (which flew by quickly) the team chases down their target, works to expose his plot and attempts to stop his plans for launching a nuclear warhead at the United States. Does this lone team of IMF agents succeed? While I cannot answer that question for you, I can tell you this movie is worth the ride. There are some surprising plot twists and turns that will have you on the edge of your seat. This Mission Impossible is a success.
