Billed as a sci-fi love story it's a weird one...

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2014)

I was going to pass on "Edge of Tomorrow" but elected to see it based on the high review average and my general love for sci-fi. Although I have loved several of Tom Cruise's movies over the years I'd stop short of saying I'm a fan; I certainly didn't see this movie because he had top billing.
Bottom-line this movie doesn't suck but don't expect it to blow you out of your seat either. Basically "Groundhog Day" mashed-up with "Aliens" and "Starship Troopers". See it in 2D definitely and maybe matinée. Definitely a one-shot for me. I found myself checking my email a couple of times (except when Emily Blunt was on the screen that is!) Billed as a sci-fi love story - it was a weird one. Strange chemistry between Cruise and Blunt -- almost like he's trying too hard and she's doing her best but we know her heart's not really into it. I don't know how to describe it...weird vibe.
Was great to see Bill Paxton as a cocky grunt again!
