Groundhog Day in Sci-Fi mode

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2014)

Tuned in to watch this on a plane trip - expected a Tom Cruise sci-fi of the likes of Oblivion (which I enjoyed) but perhaps a poor cousin, as I hadn't seen much preview material. I guess I expected a lower budget flick.
This isn't low budget. It's not a poor cousin. It's a step up in all departments.
This is Oblivion, plus Groundhog Day (with the humor), plus Tom Cruise in a role I cannot imagine anyone else pulling off with this degree of aplomb. Hilarious, action-packed, puzzle-solving brilliance.
I believed all the characters in this movie. The special effects are perfect. All involved in the making of this flick should be proud.
