Edge of Tomorrow

What makes <em>Edge of Tomorrow</em>'s 'failure' a bit surprising is how many of us have always wondered - what would happen if you put <em>Groundhog Day</em> in the context of an invasion of Earth by aliens keen on destroying the human race? Okay...so bad example. This is about action, killing aliens, and getting in as many 'gallows humor' one-liners as possible. And I realize it tanked in...

Resetting the day. Edge of Tomorrow is directed by Doug Liman and collectively written by Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth. It stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, with music by Christophe Beck and cinematography by Dion Beebe. It has proved to be a great decade for sci-f, it seems that for every misfire there are three great genre films to off set the disappoin...

On your feet, maggot! The idea of resetting time is being fully explored and adds to the action – and who doesn’t like to see Tom Cruise die over and over again? 9/10

**Exceptional performances, effects, story, and pacing round out this amazing film making it worth Live, Watch, and Repeating.** Edge of Tomorrow (or Live. Die.

End of the world groundhog day sci-fi monster movie. Tom Cruise playing an utter coward, at least in the beginning, is a refreshing change. This is one of those 'repeat incident' movies you have to keep watching, just to see what's going to change next time around. Oh, and the alien beasts, more over the way they move, are utterly terrifying. Unfortunately, the out-of-step ending leaves you thinki...

**An effective film that works reasonably well, but still feels like a pretext for massive CGI.** In recent years, it seems to have become a convention that it takes an insane amount of special effects to make a good movie. There are a lot of movies that look like excuses or pretexts for a ton of effects, CGI and amazing graphics, without great content to give them a solid foundation. This film...

An alien invasion in Europe combined with a Groundhog Day concept, Tom Cruise repeats the same day over and over. Starting the movie as a coward, he slowly goes through his hero's journey becoming a brave hero on his quest tp save humanity from fast-moving parasitic aliens with long gross tentacles. Emily Blunt adds great acting and good chemistry with Cruise on set. The special effects are detail...

Wow! Great story, visuals were amazing and plot was solid. One of the few Tom Cruise movies I've actually watched more than once, hehe. Good job guys, need more like these in the sci-fi fantasy genre.
