Refreshingly New

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2014)

Edge of Tomorrow is a concept we have all experienced, but which is completely new to the screen. Just like when playing a video game, Cage (played by Cruise) must play and replay the same day over and over until "beating" it. The concept is so relatable. Cruise does a wonderful job at displaying the utter frustration of trying a "level" over and over again but never succeeding. The concept is so relatable, and yet so new to the movie screen, that it felt refreshing. Both Cruise and Blunt do marvelous jobs acting in their respective roles. The director did a wonderful job at replaying the same day over without making it feel monotonous. All in all, the movie was underrated, but is still really great. I highly recommend seeing it!
