Cool storyline, effects and great editing.

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2014)

The deja vu part wasn't as tiresome as I would've thought, and the juxtaposition of him dying and waking up again over and over was pretty funny. The film was well edited and the placement of the scenes complimented the story well. With some scenes having the audience in the loop and some without.
The action and visual effects were good too. Though I would've have liked a bit more background on how the aliens came to be and why they were on Earth in general. The armour was a cool addition, however I saw them equipping handguns and pistols.which with the image of the armour looked pretty comedic.
Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt acted really well in this film. Usually I feel like Cruise takes on very similar characters (and this one wasn't that different) but he did a good job here. Blunt played her character really well too, and was very fluid and consistent.
However some parts with the aliens felt too unrealistic. It doesn't seem possible to outrun from the aliens as they move so quickly, and also I don't get the business of them suddenly appearing out of nowhere when there's a loud noise. If they were already close by wouldn't they have known without the help of loud noise? Also, the knowledge of the power was a bit iffy.
Overall, this film was pretty interesting and had some cool actions and visuals to engage the audience.
