BLU-RAY TUESDAY: 'Oblivion' Blasts Home on Blu-ray with Metalpak and Other Retail Exclusives
Tom Cruise just keeps missing the elusive century mark with his three latest outings (his most recent $100 million hit being 2011's Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol), however audiences have the opportunity to check out his dystopian futuristic film Oblivion this week on Blu-ray. Also set to release this week are The Place Beyond the Pines, Mud, The Borgias: The Complete Third Season and several Disney classics.
In Oblivion, Jack Harper (Cruise) is the one of the few drone repairman stationed on 2077 Earth alongside his communications partner and romantic interest, Victoria (Andrea Riseborough). However after a routine checkup turns south, Harper begins to realize that all that he's known may not exactly be the truth.

'Ghost Protocol' Reignites Cruise's Career and M.I. Franchise
![]() |
Tom Cruise is back for a fourth go-around in the most profitable franchise of his career. |
Tom Cruise might not be the box-office draw he once was, considering he has only two of his films break the century mark in five years (one of which was little more than a cameo in Tropic Thunder) and his last film to hit the 200 million dollar threshold was 2005’s War of the Worlds. Still there is one franchise keeping this mega-star alive for the past 15 years, Mission: Impossible.
The Mission: Impossible series has undergone many changes from film to film, most notably being the constant swapping of directors. This time around, Brad Bird takes the reins from J.J. Abrams, joining Brian DePalma and John Woo as director in the latest franchise entry, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. In Ghost Protocol, Cruise steps back into the shoes of agent, Ethan Hunt, minus the aid of IMF and being accused of creating disruption between Russia and the rest of the world after an attack on the Kremlin. Fortunately for Hunt, he isn’t alone; backed up by a team to restore the balance of global peace.
