On the Edge of Your Seat

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2014)

I WANTED this movie to be great, as it was my most anticipated movie of this season. It did not disappoint. A very interesting story and plot device gave way to a "Groundhog Day" effect that worked well and was engaging as well as surprising. Going through the day the first time once with Cage (Tom Cruise) is interesting because you know you are going to experience many different facets and viewpoints of this day throughout the movie and upon doing so, it was very entertaining and amusing to me. I didn't know what to expect from the antagonists, and although nothing too creative or new is present here with the aliens. You don't get a view of them for a while, and you don't get many views, but it's also not a horribly cheesy addition to the film. The creative time/alien part of the film has some flaws, but if you don't over think it and can suspend reality for a bit, you should not be disappointed.
