Amazing intense Groundhog day action sc-fi film

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2014)

Wow this film is amazing for a sc-fi action movie that full of valuable twists, surprisingly good chemistry between Cruise and Emily Blunt and it has an involving script aside of the spectacular action sequences special some of the beach scene in the battle if you could call it a battle it more like a slaughter. The movie clearly develops in the action and the riveting pace. It offers what a great blockbuster should be and it reaches that superb goal. The thing about this film as well is the Most unexpected of all , the main reason the comical aspects during the first half of the film work so well which you don't expected in this type of film most of it is from Tom Cruise's character, Major William Cage. This is easily Cruise's meatiest role since his turn in 'Magnolia' as Frank T.J. Mackey, but here you need to forget his usual stern, poster boy heroes role, as here he plays an entirely different character as he a reluctant hero force in to a situation he not prepared for. I won't give away too much, but be prepared to chuckle and laugh when you see a new side of Tom Cruise.
The rest of the cast is also brilliant performance's to sell a great film, especially the gorgeous Emily Blunt. It seems that no matter what she does, she always comes across as genuine and real on screen this is why she a fantastic actress, here in this film she succeeds in portraying her character very well as a tough, seasoned soldier which other soldiers refer her to as "full metal bitch" (i'm not kidding you hear that twice!) As you see with her squad the have white skull painted on the helmets so they must be elite soldier.With her character not just being this hard ass soldier she come across with just the right touch of vulnerability to make her that much more believable as the character she portraying.
Bill Paxton and Brendon Gleeson are always a welcome addition to any movie, and while they are great, character-wise, they don't do anything here that you haven't seen them do before there kind of a cameo role in a way for the film. This basically is a Sc-fi film that is very fast paced & brutal with some stunning cinematography & amazing C.G.I effects on the alien design, with a Groundhog day concept that really work for the film as the whole Live ,die & repeat concept that give this film its humor & as-well as the edge this film needed. I know lot of people don't like tom cruise but this has to be his best performance to date in a film special for a blockbuster like this, it a film i can recommend watching.
Dislikes : I don't know if any one noticed this , but there was a flaw in the story-line at the very end of this film which didn't make scene with the way it ended it was nothing major to pull a film down because it was at the end of the film but still enough to notice it didn't make sense, other then that the whole film was brilliantly done.
