I think EVERY famous actor & actress should have their own "Groundhog Day" film! :D

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2014)

The truth is, whether or not you like Tom Cruise as an actor, you WILL like this movie!
Yeah, even I referenced that great movie, even though everyone else has already, but it still is worth it! Because I remember the first time watching that Bill Murray and being absolutely BLOWN AWAY! This, this is the "futuristic action sci-fi alien invasion" version of Groundhog Day, if you will! Tom Cruise once again proves he's still got some talent! This flick was also directed by a Jewish guy, much like Harold Ramis - all the more reason to like it again!
This movie gave me one of the most exciting theater experiences I ever had! ;D Also I was interested to learn it was based off a Japanese comic originally titled "All You Need Is Kill", since I actually LIVE in Japan! But don't worry, the Japanese advertisement titled this film appropriately as it's original title, in Japanese Katakana - "オール・ユー・ニード・イズ・キル." whatever.
I also thought interesting the plot actually EXPLAINED why Tom Cruise (his character's name Cage), is repeating the same day over & over, whilst Groundhog Day never did explain, though it was still interesting; albeit the alien blood, the OMEGA artifact, etc. Which actually kinda reminded me of the "Omega 13" from the sci-fi comedy "Galaxy Quest." But I digress, 'cause THAT's even a good reference!
I believe actress Emily Blunt deserves to be known for basically THIS movie, on her IMDb profile! Not that overrated pile of trash "Looper." I thank GOD she was written as a cool character She became a great sidekick & genuine love interest to Cage; and I'm glad she didn't become a typical damsel in distress being over-sexualized with giant distracting jiggling boobs. lol
I give credit to AMC theaters giving the recommendation to go seeing this movie - they're quite a legit movie talk show! Because all in all, this movie had HORRIBLE marketing campaigns; there're can be bad trailers to good movies, and good trailers to bad movies! Something to think about.
If there is any slight down-side to this movie, I might say besides the casual intense violence or language in the film, I felt perhaps Bill Paxton was out of place as the war general. I think probably Bill MURRAY should've been cast instead; it would've been a GREAT homage to "Groundhog Day", the film he's mostly known for, rather than just naming the lead female character "Rita", like the one in Groundhog Day.
But seriously, ANYONE who's a huge fan of sic-fi, action, alien invasions, repeating time, etc., THIS is the movie for you - you WON'T be disappointed!
9/10
