A First class Sci-Fi movie - Deserves 10 Stars

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2014)

This film has been described as a mixture of "Groundhog day" and "Starship troopers". I agree, but this is one hell of a movie. If you love Sci-Fi you will definitely like it. I loved it.
It is based on a Japanese graphic novel, and one can sense that in some of the scenes. There is not much of a dialog and some of the scientific explanations are a bit simple. Also one may wonder why e.g. a first class scientist, who has been labeled weird, has been assigned the job of a welder in a weapon factory.
Tom Cruise is here in his typical role as the smiling hero who fights for a just cause. Emily Blunt's acting is also superb. The movie is full of clichés, macho stuff - and witty jokes. But guess what, it works, and this is probably Cruise's best movie in years.
Sum up: A first class, fast paced (and funny) science fiction movie. Sci-Fi and action movie fans will love it, but others may think less of it.
