Shooter Video Game meets Ground Hog Day

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2014)

If you like Sci-Fi Action, then you'll love this movie. Considering this movie has the main character repeating the same day over and over again, the director shows just enough of the repetition to help you understand whats going on without repeating whole scenes. It was very well done. It has just enough story to be watchable but very light on the plot. The aliens' CGI could have been better. Tom Cruise portrays his character perfectly as an unlikely hero. This makes for a character that develops over the course of the film. At first, you might be thinking how could a woman wielding a heavy melee weapon be the hero of humanity? In the great tradition of Sci-Fi this is made believable due to the exo-skeleton suits and her ability to 'reset the day'. If you knew exactly when death was coming, would it not be easy for anyone to avoid it? Overall, a great action movie and lovers of Sci-Fi will want to see this on the big screen.
