Edge of Tomorrow (aka “Live Die Repeat”)

I liked this movie
much more than I expected. Tom Cruise
plays Cage, an inexperienced officer in the military that is thrown (literally)
into a war being waged against an alien enemy that is trying to take over the
earth. A twist with this
extraterrestrial is that it can control time and reset the day so it can know
the future ahead of time – which helps whenever a part of it is killed. When Cage is “infected” with this same power,
he works with a legendary warrior, Rita, to try anything they can to defeat the
aliens and end the war. For Cage, this
involves being sent back in time to the same point every time he is killed in
battle – which is over and over and over and over – hundreds of times for
him! This also allows him to hone his
skills and become legendary himself. I
was afraid this was going to be too much like the movie Groundhog Day or be all
sci-fi and special effects and not much story – I was wrong! It totally worked for me – it had a great
story and moved at a nice pace and let you learn what was happening right along
with Cage just as he was learning. I’m
glad I watched it – and would definitely watch it again!
