An Original Sci-Fi that is a Real Delight,

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2015)

Edge of Tomorrow is a terrific movie with a very well developed plot and a talented cast. I really was not expecting this movie to be as unique and original as it was, it's a fun a clever take on Science Fiction films that is funny and never takes itself too seriously. The concept of repeating the same day made the movie stands out, it may seem a lot like Groundhog Day, but the situation works in a very different manner.
The only thing that I found to be a big let down in this film was the ending, it was very anti- climatic and does not wrap up the whole story in the way you would hope after investing in it for over two hours. It definitely had me questioning if that was really it, it could have been drawn to a close more substantially. The final battle, which we were obviously anticipating, was too brief and felt rushed by the director.
The cast is outstanding, Tom Cruise further proves that his career is in no way dead, playing a very different character here, normally a flawless, skillful stud (such as Mission Impossible), he plays a coward that is put in to a tricky situation which he struggles to overcome, which makes the experience more rewarding. I also loved Emily Blunt's performance, she plays a strong character, and I hope to see her in more action movies soon, she had a unique presence in this type of role. Action packed, funny and truly original, I would recommend Edge of Tomorrow to anyone looking for a good action or Sci- Fi film.
An officer must end a war against an alien race after he is given the opportunity to prove himself by the day resetting whenever he is killed.
Best Performance: Tom Cruise
