Action-packed, funny and original!

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2016)

I found Edge of Tomorrow to be highly enjoyable due to many different aspects that make it a great film. It was action-packed, and the action was quite good and intense, the visuals were masterful, especially the alpha and omega aliens, etc. It was quite funny as well, with Tom Cruise playing this goof ball who has no business being in the military yet has to face this challenge, and his encounters with the J-Squad and his superior are quite humorous, as well as the number of times the day is repeated. The amount of times he dies and comes back to life is also a hilarious sequence. I must say that this is probably the only non-Ethan Hunt role Cruise has played that I liked; I don't generally like him as an actor but here he really does a great job. Emily Blunt was fantastic as well; she's a great female character and is absolutely lovely. The rest of the cast were great as well. The story-line was great and original; much more original than the madly overrated "Guardians of the Galaxy", and twice as enjoyable. All in all, a great film!
