In July 2011, a teaser trailer for Ghost Protocol was released illustrating new shots from the movie, one of which being Tom Cruise scaling the world's tallest building in Dubai, the Burj Khalifa building. Moreover; prior to its release, the studio presented IMAX footage of the film to invitation-only crowd of opinion makers and journalists at the BFI IMAX theater in central London. One of the many scenes that were included was a chase scene in a Dubai's desert sandstorm.
As of January 5, 2012; the film has received mostly positive reviews, scoring 93% on the film-critic aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, based on 184 reviews, making it the best-reviewed entry of the series. The site's critical consensus is, "Stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with gripping set pieces, the fourth Mission: Impossible is big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works." Metacritic gives the film a score of 73 based on 36 reviews.
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four, saying the film "is a terrific thriller with action sequences that function as a kind of action poetry". Philippa Hawker of The Sydney Morning Herald gave the film three stars out of five, and said it is "ludicrously improbable, but also quite fun." As Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly analyzed, the movie "brims with scenes that are exciting and amazing at the same time; they're brought off with such casual aplomb that they're funny, too. ... Ghost Protocol is fast and explosive, but it's also a supremely clever sleight-of-hand thriller. Brad Bird, the animation wizard, ... showing an animator's miraculously precise use of visual space, has a playful, screw-tightening ingenuity all his own."
As of January 5, 2012, Ghost Protocol has grossed a worldwide total of $410,205,622 with $149,700,912 from North America and $260,504,710 from international markets.
