strange i didn't review this earlier but its a good thing as i watched it again and its far better the second time and easier to understand so i would defentially reccomend watching it again.
Tom cruise is back in a sci fi but with a twist and what seems a new movie name from edge of tomorrow to live die repeat. personally i think the new title is lame and sounds like a steven segal b movie. but that aside this is a very good and enjoyable movie.
cruise plays a cowardly soldier who thinks he is better suited to speaking that fighting but gets forced into the fron line to fight the aliens but cue a groundhog day sernario he dies and wakes up back where he started and gets to re-live the same day over and over during this time he works out how to fight and survive thanks to emily blunts character who helps him to eventually take on the aliens and prevent the aliens taking over london and wiping out the entire force they sent against them.
its a thought provoking movie with lots of action and keeps you on the edge , the back and forth sequences are done very well to keep you not so confused. the ending is confusing and will keep the sci fi nuts pondering about for years to come but if you remember the beginning your understand the ending.
overall its a very good movie worth watching a few times as its so fast and there's lots to take in.
it was called a flop on its release but it went on to do big buisness outside of the u.s, maybe america was just tired of cruise in another sci fi movie and didn't give it a chance but word of mouth and critics have turned it right around. its better than all the big blockbusters that came out. the superhero movies. godzilla and so on. this is how you do a movie. i thought the traing parts with emily blunt where he got injured was funny would of liked more of that but they keep this movie so fast paced that you lose a little of that human element and fun side of it. a minor flaw in what is a cool movie.
