Interesting

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2016)

One thing first: how did Rita know that if you get blood into your veins you will loose the power, I mean shouldn't she have died and not woken up again to realise that? How did she know? Other than this the movie was great.
Real-life lessons:poor in this regard. The only think that I could pick up is that practice makes you great whatever that is. Everything can be mastered when practised and once you get used to the idea. Cage, a hysterical coward scared of war, becomes the best soldier because he trains everyday and goes through the experience a lot of times.
Plausibility: I liked that they implied that Rita had become the angel of that previous battle because she had the power to reset the day. She was great because she got to the same thing over and over again so a lot of practice. A kind of cheating method, she wasn't this born great warrior. She became this warrior because she could rest time and do the same things hundreds of times. This gives it great points to plausibility.
Character development: Cage develops slightly but i think it could have gone further and the same with Rita. We don't know Rita's motives for volunteering and we know very little about her.
Acting/ Casting: both leads are great. I was pleasantly surprised by Emily Blunt.
Storytelling: Brilliantly done. It makes the movie very interesting. I loved how some scenes were happening for the fist time and some had happened a hundred times before maybe but you just never knew which was which. Twists and surprises in the storyline were also done great. Humour mainly in Cage's character at the beginning was amusing and done to the right extent.
Overall, great movie.
