An Enjoyable Sci-Fi Story

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2014)

"Edge of Tomorrow" is first and foremost an action film. I saw the film in IMAX 3-D. It really does present a spectacle. The special effects are second to none.
Like the film "Groundhog Day", there are significant humorous elements. These manage to keep the tone fairly light despite the ominous theme of the story.
Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt portray likable characters. This makes it possible to invest one's feelings in what happens to them.
The most critical part of the film is the story, which keeps you guessing. At one point, I thought it's was going to be really difficult for the writer(s) to resolve the dilemma of the protagonist without it seeming cheesy, but it was resolved without losing any of the film's integrity. That's good writing.
The supporting cast does a great job of adding to the experience. Since the story has some repetitious aspects, it is important that they be convincing.
I would recommend this film to any sci-fi fans.
