Edge of (my seat) is more like it!

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2014)

First.. I would watch this movie as many times as Cage (Tom Cruise) dies in the movie. (Okay maybe that's an overstatement, but the movie was seriously THAT good).
One of the greatest things about this film is that nothing was overdone. There was just the right amount of action, drama, romance, thrill, and sci-fi to make this film one cohesive, compelling story, without going off onto to tangents (as many films do by including draggy love scenes, or over complex scientific explanations for events). Every aspect of this film is weighed and measured to craft a well-balance feast for our insatiable minds, and that prowess speaks to the ability of both the director and the editor(s). Undoubtedly, the editing of this film must have been painstaking and intricate. Trying to figure out how much of each day was enough to keep the audience following along, without being overplayed must have been quite the process.
I think some people might be turned off from this movie because when the plot is said out loud it sounds sort of flat: "A movie about a guy who lives the same day over and over again, and dies a lot." Okay, so what's to keep us from getting bored while the filmmakers hit replay dozens of times? That's simple: a powerful, moving performance by Cruise. Not once can I recall a scene where Cage was left out. The audience intimately follows his journey, both mentally and physically, and Cruise makes the surreality of the story come to life in our own minds and eyes.
Speaking of eyes, there is plenty of awesome robotic technology for us to marvel at, as well as the appearance of the enemy creatures, who look like something we hope never to encounter, and move at terrifying speeds with grace and precision.
Edge of Tomorrow is definitely worth seeing in 3D or standard format. So go see it! And maybe you'll be left wishing you could reset the day and watch it again (without paying the ticket price of course).
