What were the chances, right?

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2014)

Looks like a knock-off of District 9 and Elysium. Stars Tom Cruise. Bares a scary resemblance to Transformers:Dark of the Moon's trailer.
That's why, when I saw the score actually rising in the second and third weeks after release, it got my attention. That's the opposite of what usually happens with these cgi infested summer blockbusters.
The a-typical rushed set-up and lackluster first 10 minutes had me a little concerned that I had somehow been duped, but it wasn't long before all those concerns were squashed.
"Edge of Tomorrow" is about as good as these types of films can be. It's better than the ORIGINAL Transformers, better than Oblivion, and NEARLY as good as District 9.
Tom Cruise is excellent. THe acting all around is solid, but definitely not the key to the films success.
THe best thing about this is that the CGI is all-over-the-place yes, but it's executed nicely. The plot isn't over-convoluted or too confusing, and while it all seems familiar, the time-jumping aspect adds A TON to the overall product. Mostly, it adds a fantastic comedic element.
The action is fantastic. The film isn't overlong. And the ending is strong.
Highly recommended. Haven't seen many 2014 releases so far, and I usually see about 90-110 films from each year. THAT SAID, this one will be hanging around the top 25 for 2014 like a vulture to a carcass.
Awesome flick! Pure adrenaline! See it on the big screen. Best 'popcorn fare' I've seen since 'The Avengers', only it's a notch above that fine film. Also enjoyed it more than Captain America Winter Soldier. Both good films, but this even better.
You'll like this if you liked: Lockout(nowhere near as good), Elysium(a clear notch below), Avengers(not quite as good), Aliens(a tad better), or Starship Troopers(a notch below).
83/100..actually entertained "9" for about a minute or two. Highly recommended, especially for this genre.
'glued for the last 90 minutes!!!!
