HOT 4K NEWS
SURPRISINGLY Tom Cruise’s seventh installment in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise didn’t set the summer box office on fire as expected, even though it received a 95 percent rating from top critics and 92 percent from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Paramount Pictures will release “M:I – Dead Reckoning Part One” on 4K (Digital) on October 10 and the 4K (Physical disc) on Oct. 31.
This time Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With the fate of the world at stake, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission - not even the lives of those he cares about most.
