Gripping!

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2014)

'Edge of Tomorrow' is what Groundhog Day was for comedy, in terms of scripting. It's the same idea, in a different world. And luckily, this sci-fi flick is Gripping! Grab a tub of popcorn, and have a nice time!
'Edge of Tomorrow' Synopsis: A military officer is brought into an alien war against an extraterrestrial enemy who can reset the day and know the future. When this officer is enabled with the same power, he teams up with a Special Forces warrior to try and end the war.
'Edge of Tomorrow' isn't monotonous, despite the repetitive narrative. The maddening graphics & the astounding action sequences, leave you stunned. The film is a visual delight in all respects.
Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth's Screenplay is fast-moving & grasping. However, the scenes between its leads, after a point, begin to lag. Doug Liman's Direction is ambitious. Cinematography & Editing are decent. Graphics & Action-Sequences are par-excellence. Background Score is brilliant.
Performance-Wise: Tom Cruise is excellent. He enacts the coward turned true hero, with unmatchable ease. Emily Blunt is hot & tough. Bill Paxton is superb. Brendan Gleeson is alright.
On the whole, 'Edge of Tomorrow' is some good fun!
