Excellent Action Sci-Fi With a Brilliant Ending (No Spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2015)

When I first saw the trailer for this film, I was put off immediately by the groundhog day idea and the irritating electronic music (with the robotic voice) used in it's promotion. Oblivion was rather disappointing for me so I wasn't expecting much at all from this film seeing that Tom Cruise would be in the leading role.
Let me just say that even if I was expecting a MASTERPIECE, my expectations would be fulfilled! This movie has it all. Humour, thrills, incredible action sequences and a plot that is both complex and logical. Without revealing any details, I will admit the ending left me confused at first. After a second viewing I put two and two together and realised that it's really quite brilliant. Both Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt deliver outstanding, believable performances, keeping in line with the high bar This beats any sci-fi or action film released in 2014. Definitely worth your time.
