Go. Watch. Repeat.

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2014)

When I 1st saw the trailer for this movie, I told to myself, "Ah another futuristic, sci-fi, alien and all that VFX movie". Considering Tom Cruise's last 2 movies Oblivion and Jack Reacher, I wasn't expecting much from this too. Its obvious that Tom Cruise is a global star and hence, one would not need to read reviews much before coming and watching his movies. Since even I am one of those millions of Tom Cruise's fans, I decided to watch the movie. And I have to say, this is probably the surprise blockbuster of the year.
Yes, if you read most of the reviews here you would find they have used the word surprise. Tom Cruise plays a not so heroic character of Colonel William Cage who is a media relations officer with the U.S army. The world is on the blink of Alien invasion(or war as they keep calling it) and its all across Europe. The US army is planning to stop the war spreading to the Western countries. For this purpose, there are some Super-Soldier weapons which is headed by Emily Blunt who herself is a role model and have won some important battles. When Tom Cruise goes to meet the general(Gleeson) he's ordered to join the forces at the beach in France. Without Tom Cruises consent, he's arrested and sent as a new recruit. As inexperienced Cruise been sent to battle, for the 1st time, surprising things happen. And from then on, only these 3 words dominate the plot of the movie, Live Die Repeat.
With such a futuristic and complicated plot line, there are more chances that things could go possibly wrong. But director Doug Liman has handled it carefully and has put in humor at the right moments so that viewers are not bored. Visual effects are cool and editing is top class. Tom Cruise looks younger compared to his previous movies and good as always. The soldier role suits Emily Blunt really well and makes her look sexier. The other supporting characters don't have much screen space as this movie is most about the 2 main characters. Overall, its a summer blockbuster you don't wanna miss. Heck, you can watch it even 2,3 times.
