Called "a stunning, high-flying, super-charged blast of fun" (Shawn Edwards, FOX-TV), the $375+ million worldwide blockbuster "G.I. JOE: RETALIATION" explodes in Ultra HD on the UltraFlix network this month. "Born to play a G.I. JOE" (Scott Bowles, USA Today), Dwayne Johnson embodies ROADBLOCK and he and Channing Tatum "are a match made in action flick heaven" (James Oster, JoBlo.com) in this "cool ride" (Richard Corliss, Time) that is "awesome times 10!" (Shawn Edwards, FOX-TV). From Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, "G.I. JOE: RETALIATION" also stars action legend Bruce Willis as the original G.I. JOE, as well as Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona and Jonathan Pryce. In director Jon M. Chu's heart-pounding thrill ride, the G.I. JOE team not only faces off against its mortal enemy COBRA, it is also forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize its very existence.

In addition to "G.I. JOE: RETALIATION," UltraFlix now offers subscribers the largest library of crystal-clear 4K content, reinforcing its lead as the source for the world's largest and most diverse library of 4K VOD entertainment.
