Edge of Tomorrow

Interesting enough and with a decent script for this kind of Sci-Fi movies. The FX are also OK. Tom Cruise does an OK job and Emily Blunt nails her character, being the brightest thing in screen every time she appears.

Not a bad movie, got kind of sick of the "ground hog day" effect. Could have used less of that, all in all pretty enjoyable to watch.

I have to say that this movie was surprisingly enjoyable. I did have my doubts about it. I always have doubts about movies that manipulate time. I guess one advantage the movie has is that it does not really involve time travel and changing the past to influence the future but “only” resetting a day and living it over and over again. The entire concept is of course still totally ludicrous. Even if we forget about the feasibility about resetting time altogether there are just so many things that are wrong with the concept. For example, is time reset all over the universe or just on Earth? Bo…

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 the theaters (relatively speaking) but (I can't believe I'm going to say this)... But it's a fun movie. It's entertaining, the directing is sharp and quick. In <em>Groundhog Day</em>, about the …

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 disappointments. Sitting at the top end of the table is Edge of Tomorrow (AKA: Live Die Repeat). Adapted from Hiroshi Sakurazaka's novel "All You Need Is Kill", the story has Cruise as William Cage, an America…

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. Repeat.) is an exhilarating mash-up of time-loops, alien invasions, war, and post-apocalyptic humanity struggling for survival. Add Tom Cruise’s charismatic coward to champion and Emily Blunt’s battle-hardened warrior into that mix, and this movie soars from a cool idea to an astonishing sci-fi epic! The pacing was excellent, which can be tricky in time-loop movies, but Doug Liman masterfully guides the story and Cruise’s character …

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 thinking "Wait, what?"

**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, where we have an alien invasion and a soldier who discovers he can control time and relive the same day over and over again, is essentially another one for this list. In fact, the film feels like…

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 detailed and fun, especially with the exoskeletons on soldiers and the aliens themselves. Definitely a top sci-fi and worth watching.

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.

I loved it, simply a great movie from start to finish. At the end of the day, it’s still an action film set in a dystopian future with mechs fighting aliens, but the story behind it, with the time loop the protagonist is trapped in and everything he does to save Earth, is fantastic. The platonic love story with Rita, the co-protagonist, in the middle of all the conflict, and how it affects him by the end, with an unexpected twist at the last moment... makes the ending feel really satisfying.
