One to keep coming back to

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2014)

In between your Transcendence's, Transformers, and other third rate sci- fi movies Edge of Tomorrow stands out as the best sci-fi movie of 2014 so far (review written before the release of Interstellar).
Usually my patience is a little thin when I go to the cinema, purely because watching movies at home is so much more comfortable. If a movie is at all tedious, like Man of Steel, I usually want to get the hell out of there after 90 mins, though I might enjoy it more when it is released on DVD, as I did MoS.
This movie had me engrossed for the full running time. Tom Cruise carries this movie very well, as he did last year's Obilivion. Emily Blunt is excellent. There is great balance between the impending doom posed by the alien invasion and the more groundhog day-style comic moments.
Overall, this movie is well-paced, with a strong sci-fi storyline, excellent battle scenes, acting, humor and a lot of originality relative to the dross that gets hurled a us cinema-goers.
Definitely one to watch again and again.
