An exciting, unique and character-focused science-fiction flick.

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2018)

'Edge Of Tomorrow (2014)' didn't do all that well at the box office, prompting the distributors to try and push an alternate title for the Blu-Ray release ('Live. Die. Repeat.') in the hopes that consumers would mistake it for a new release and give it a go - though, this must've worked since a sequel (annoyingly titled 'Live. Die. Repeat. And Repeat.') is supposedly on the way, even if it's not always a good idea to force a follow-up to what should be a future classic. This fantastic sci-fi film is an exciting, edge-of-your-seat experience throughout that mixes pulse-pounding, expertly choreographed, often large-scale yet always character-focused action with intriguing genre elements that create both a sense of mystery and an incredibly unique viewing experience on the whole, as the 'time-loop' conceit (which isn't just stolen from 'Groundhog Day (1993)') provides a constantly evolving but always consistent framework for the narrative to take place in; each iteration of our protagonist's journey feels like another step to solving a puzzle as opposed to anything even remotely repetitious. The only real flaw with the piece is its kind of cop-out, 'Hollywood' ending that makes sense only to a point and isn't quite in keeping with what we've seen before, but even this doesn't stop it from being one of the best entries in its genre. 8/10
