Inventive "Groundhog Day" sci-fi thriller

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2017)

Edge Of Tomorrow was a good mix of sci-fi, action and special effects while still maintaining decent character development and an exciting story. This wasn't all about the special effects. Tom Cruise finally beginning to show some age here (52) but can still carry a blockbuster action type of movie. Emily blunt was also very good, believable, tough and sexy.
A pretty inventive sci-fi thriller following Cruise as an officer (who has never seen a day of combat in his life) as he is thrust onto the battlefield as a soldier, repeatedly reliving his own death as he is killed on the battlefield while defending Earth from advancing alien invaders. Finally he seeks the help of a celebrated female warrior in order to defeat the extraterrestrials and save mankind.
Sometimes "Groundhog Day" type movies can be a bit too repetitive but with each subsequent redo here this managed to still remain fresh with some new bit of info Tom and the viewers experienced.
