I can watch this movie over and over again!

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2014)

Tom Cruise's character in Edge of Tomorrow constantly goes into combat, dies, and is brought back to the beginning to do it all over again which makes this movie relatable to playing a video game. While this movie was fun, it almost seems almost like a rip-off of Groundhog Day, only without the thought evoking metaphors of life which can be related to the five steps of overcoming a drug addiction. Instead of having such a deep meaning, this movie's metaphor is a simpler one about war.
For the Tom Cruise fans, this movie has the signature action scenes with Tom Cruise running and fighting. But this movie takes a slight break from the notion that the main character is completely indestructible by making him more of an ordinary man who has to learn to be the action hero we want to see at the end of the movie.
Although the CG in this movie was done really well, it still looks like CG. A lot of the action, vehicles, and environment look very good, but the attacking aliens and the way they move seemed a bit artificial to me. The colors are too bright to be realistic, and they don't seem to move naturally as they appeared from and burrowed into the ground. If you can get over this glitch in the movie, then you will be able to enjoy the movie for what it was meant to be.
All in all, this was an entertaining movie. If you like to pick on all the plot holes and are looking for anything wrong about a movie to be negative about, this is not the movie for you. In fact, I don't think there are too many movies for you at all. If you like to be entrenched in a world created to entertain you, then this is a great summer flick.
