Tom Cruise still got it.

Rating: 8/10 (13 September 2014)

Tom Cruise still got it. Last year it was Oblivion and now this.
The movie is about an Alien Invasion and an all out attempt by Humanity to wipe em out. The protagonist, played by Tom Cruise, during the battle dies and wakes up a day before and finds out that whenever he dies, he wakes up at that point. The concept isn't new or anything BUT it is the first time I'm seeing it applied to an Alien invasion sci- fi film, which just makes it a unique experience and a breath of fresh air.
The movie is well directed. It has good pacing and some really good action scenes. The aliens themselves are great. Loved their design and agility. Not your typical aliens, they were really menacing.
Tom Cruise was of course great as the lead, and was joined by Emily Blunt who was pretty good as a tough soldier chick, still HOT. Then there were lots of side characters, all of whom were good and added to the movie somewhat. The movie had a good amount of humor in it too, and it was blended perfectly with the story and pacing. I even laughed out loud during some moments.
The CGI is pretty good. There were some really beautiful shots of chaos and destruction during the battle, good cinematography. The soundtrack could have been better though, not saying it was lame or anything but there wasn't any really memorable tracks in it.
Overall, a great sci-fi summer blockbuster, a really entertaining ride, a must watch.
8.5/10
