D-day with a difference

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2014)

Not so long ago men were ready to hit the beaches of France and take on Nazi aggression. Times may have changed, but the allied forces, this time called the United Defence Force, are hitting those same beaches, to rid our world from aliens! There is a twist though, Major Cage (Tom Cruise) has to do this over and over and over as he is stuck in a time loop, which is a good thing, as he has no combat training whatsoever... he is a PR guy who like the gentlemen raising money for war bonds, excites the young and the stupid to fight the good fight.
Is the movie worth it? Yes! There are well filmed action sequences. The film is not repetitive given that the Major has to fight the same day over and over, until he is forced to make one final push that ultimately leads to the ending, and there's Emily Blunt, who is quite cute generally and quite sexy in uniform (or mech armour).
Take this one for what it is, a sci-fi action movie, that is fun, entertaining, and worth the entrance fee, or the rental price if watching it at home on your HD TV, which I recommend over a cinema anyway! Have fun watching!
