Nearly no movies came out since it's release that surpassed this sci-fi action adrenaline thrill ride

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2016)

When I originally saw this film when it got released I got obsessed with it for months. By the end I had a near high. To this day there has only been a couple if any films that surpassed Edge of Tomorrow. This is one of the best of these action and sci-fi combined movies of all time and quite possibly the best alien invasion movie...ever, honestly. So what makes it that way.
First let me say this... This film never, ever, thinks of it's audience as a bunch of idiots, there is never that unnecessary scene that tells you everything you already know. The exposition is kept to a bear minimum and when it does happen, you wanted it to happen, because it's simply the best way to explain some way to complex concepts. Plus, let us not forget that we are watching a summer action blockbuster here, not Mulhollad Drive.
Next, in terms of action, this is one of the best action movies of this decade. Doug Liman does not use his shaky Bourne's style for this flick. There are many beautiful long wide shots of practical and gritty action with some jaw-dropping stunt work.
But really what elevates this film to it's glory is not the spectacular action, nor it's bizarrely original idea of reliving the same day over and over again, but masterfully written characters.
Best characters are those that you can look at the beginning and at the end of the film and they are completely different. That's the definition of Tom Cruise's character of Cage. Emily Blunt's character, Rita Vrataski is to this day my favorite 2014's female character. She is not in this film just so Tom Crusie can save her every two minutes (if anything it's the opposite). She never appears as an object, she has a clear role, she has to be there. The chemistry between Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt is excellent. You need to keep in mind that Tom knows her for days weeks, but for her it's the first time every time. There is also no unnecessary romance between them. It's very subtle and when it does occur it only furthermore improves the film.
Another thing that could hinder this film but ended up being utilized brilliantly is the fact that the entire movie is just a repetition of the same day, but because they went to the comedic aspect of the situation it works wonderfully for the movie.
And without spoiling anything, the third act, while different from the rest of the movie, made me sweat harder than any other film I can remember.
I do not have a single flaw with Edge of Tomorrow. Because of it's unparalleled originality and pristinly written character by Christopher McQuarrie and other writers, this is a perfect sci-fi action flick in every way possible. Edge of Tomorrow absolutely deserves the highest rating in 10 out of 10. It's one of the all time greatest sci-fi films.
