Edge of Tomorrow | Movie Review

Edge of Tomorrow is the latest 'Tom Cruise Flick'. The plot of the film is that aliens (Mimics) have invaded earth and Tom Cruise is forced into battle. He soon realises when he dies he restarts the day (Groundhog Day + Source Code = Edge of Tomorrow) He teams up with Emily Blunt who believes what is happening.

This film is so much fun and just an overall great movie. Tom Cruise is not the generic 'hero' who saves the world. He is a flawed character and kind of a jerk at the beginning. A lot of people say that 'The Other Woman' and 'The Call' was all about 'girl power'. Lets just say without Emily Blunt, Tom Cruise would go no where. She is strong, intelligent, does whatever it takes to succeed and is not exactly hard to look at if you know what I'm saying.

This film is very action packed. The action is terrific, the storming of the beach kind of resembles the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan except we see this scene about 10 times what with all the restarting and everything. While this whole film has terrific action, overall their are about 3 or 4 major action scenes that totally rock. Now here is probably the best part of the film that excels the quality of the overall film. This film is incredibly humorous. It is an action first and a comedy second. Seriously though, there were scenes were I was laughing well in to the next scene. Particularly a training scene/escape scene. The films ending is also really 'cool'.

I'm going to give Edge of Tomorrow
