The idea of combining "Groundhog Day", "Aliens", and the Halo video game is both thrilling and funny. Once the D-day looping gets going, the audience becomes attuned to it and revels in Major Cage's Sisyphus-like efforts to advance the clock and defeat the Mimic hordes. The filmmakers keep that editing relatively tight, so we are never bored by a "oh, this part again" syndrome. In almost a tip of the cap to "Aliens", Bill Paxton appears as a Master Sergeant more than happy to send the alleged deserter Cage to his glorious doom, only later to have his Kentucky-bred drill squad speeches defused by the front-running Cage, who by then has literally heard it all before.

There are few deficiencies. Emily Blunt is less believable as a ruthless Amazon leading the assault on the French beaches, but is solid as a romantic heroine. And the J Squad members are fairly expendable, which is fine by me so that our emotional investment doesn't get too fragmented from the two leads.

Despite much of the craziness in Cruise's personal life, he's still arguably the foremost movie star of his time. His films typically deliver a high-quality product with a recent predilection to science fiction action tales. Last summer's "Oblivion" came up short in that particular department but he followed that up with the under-rated "Jack Reacher" last fall. There's a surprising amount of vulnerability on display here as well as a hilariously cowardly squirm to the beginning of his Mad Men-turned-soldier arc.

I think "Edge of Tomorrow" will live on with the original "Mission Impossible" and "Jerry Maguire" in the Cruise canon for some time to come.… Expand

At its heart Edge of Tomorrow is an excellent sci fi action film. This cinematic roller-coaster is densely packed with details and touches that elevate the material and make it a modern day classic.

The film suffers from the fact that, as is too often the case, the aliens are a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Nothing is revealed about their motives or even their objectives, except that they appear to want humanity extinct. But it would be fair to say that "Edge of Tomorrow" is no more mindless than any other action flick and for the most part it seems well done and I remained interested throughout, despite the endless action sequences.… Expand

Edge of Tomorrow is a sci-fi movie directed by Doug Lineman and is about Sargent Cage, played by Tom Cruise, who through a set of circumstances ends up on the front line of a war between humans and a group of aliens called Mimics, where heEdge of Tomorrow is a sci-fi movie directed by Doug Lineman and is about Sargent Cage, played by Tom Cruise, who through a set of circumstances ends up on the front line of a war between humans and a group of aliens called Mimics, where he kills one of the bigger aliens getting its blood all over him causing him to continually reset the day every time he dies. Before I continue I feel like i should mention that I hate time loop stories so my opinion might be affected by that. However I found this film to be just fine. The story isn't as repetitive as other time loop films. The ways in which our main character dies every time is unique enough to make it especially compelling. The characters are all written pretty well too. Yet this film does have it's fair share of problems. First the reason they give for why the aliens who have ability to control time don't just destroy the world instead giving us a fighting chance makes no sense what so ever. Second our main character can only reset the day by dyeing over and over again which for a normal human would servery damage their psyche yet Cage is perfectly fine after about a hundred times through the loop. The biggest issue is the performance given to us by our leads. They just don't have any compelling personality or chemistry. In conclusion though I have my fair share of problems with this film I still do feel like there is enough here that any sci-fi lover would find enjoyment, however I can't call it a great masterpiece of genre or anything like that.… Expand

Tom Cruise and his fellow warriorsImagine "Groundhog Day" written by Philip K. Dick and turned into a Hollywood SF action blockbuster that utilizes the same effects as the "Alien" flick, and you will have a good idea of what happens here. Tom Cruise and his fellow warriors strut around in some crazy body armor tangling with nasty, multi-tentacled invaders. These aliens have the ability to control time - however, certain humans can reset days, and thus reboot once they have died and go back to where they were before, like a player learning a computer game. Or something like that. In the end, it is entertaining enough.… Expand

Un principe séduisant utilisé dans un scénario quelque peu alambiqué mais qui tient étonnamment bien la distance contre toute attente... sauf vers la fin clairement tirée par les cheveux. Tom Bouse fait ce qu'il peut, c'est-à-dire pas grand-chose (comme d'habitude) mais s'avère (également contre toute attente) très supportable. Heureusement la gracieuse Emily Blunt fait plus que le supporter, elle lui vole la vedette. Sexy en diable et forte, charismatique, opiniâtre, une héroïne comme on les aime, pas comme cette connasse de Tombe Raideure par exemple. Bref, Emily rayonne ! Les effets spéciaux tuent la gueule à l'instar des District 9 et Elysium, c'est donc dire si ça envoit du bois. Malheureusement, hélas, tout cela est très mal filmé tout comme District 9 et Elysium... le montage est déjà perfectible mais c'est surtout la caméra qui bouge dans tous les sens, zoome comme une conne (aussi) et rend l'action trop souvent... illisible. De la meeeerde, ce filmage. Pas tout le temps cela dit, mais presque ! Un divertissement bien mené donc mais aussi... bien gâché malgré un tempo d'enfer du début à la fin.… Expand

Edge of Tomorrow. Die, die and die again. A good science fiction movie with an interesting plot. I liked the main theme of the film about how an ordinary person becomes a super soldier. I also really liked the design of the aliens.

It is a film that is visually gorgeous (for the most part), very well acted, intelligent, and even funny.

On the surface, Edge of Tomorrow's plot is just Groundhog Day meets generic alien invasion thriller. But beneath this fun, disposable surface lies characters that bolster the strength of the narrative enormously. This story is a story about people and how war and heartache affect them and how they relate to others. Tom Cruise delivers one of the best performances of his career in which he develops his character tremendously from timid white-collar worker to battle-hardened callous warrior. Emily Blunt also radiates genuine emotion (as always) as she effectively develops her character alongside Cruise's. There is not a single bad or even mediocre performance in this film. Everyone excels in their roles and they are greatly assisted in their effort by a perfectly paced, tonally balanced script. Even though the premise hinges on the concept of living the same day again and again, boredom is never allowed to creep in as every scene feels fresh, sharp, and casually smart.

The movie has visual splendor to spare, boasting action scenes that do not feel clichéd in the least bit and alien antagonists that are just as visibly original as the scenes they are in. Some of the camera work feels a bit too chaotic for comfort, but it's not something that is persistent throughout the film and it is usually to be expected from an action blockbuster that's as big and loud as this one.

Edge of Tomorrow is one of the most under-appreciated action flicks out there, and given its fairly basic but fun concept, there is nothing that could have been done better here.

While there was some good action scenes and definitely a fair amount (thats a bit of an understatement!) of CGI used, I didn't feel I was especially bothered about the key characters (who seemed a bit almost blase about the scenario they found themselves in) and the plot details. It all seemed a bit too far fetched I suppose. I'd hoped it'd be a film that would grab my attention and keep me glued to my set but that didn't happen, although I imagine that fans of sci-fi films, action based ones, may well quite enjoy this. It wasn't for me though.… Expand

-Action scenes which are insane but never get to a point where you don't know what's going on. Even with fire and bullets flying everywhere, the scenes are always focused on the two protagonists.

This is the GOLD STANDARD for movies based on manga/graphic novels. In terms of Scifi action, this is up there with Terminator 2.… Expand
