Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Gripping story with well-crafted characters
good back-story, and good acting
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
A movie that I didn't expect to be able to impress me but did. Edge of Tomorrow is a gem of a movie, mostly because it hits home in Sci-fi fulfillment .Really not what I had expected to see. An awesome watch!
View MoreI thought it was a masterpiece until literally the last scene where I question why it would end that way. The scene before when I was certain it ended would have been a perfect ending and an equal to District 9 or the first two Terminators. I'm sure there's an alternate ending on dvd/blu ray even though the second to last sequence felt like an ending. Edge of Tomorrow is like a video game with intelligence. He dies, but learns how to defeat the enemy until the next location like when your character is on different levels of a video game. This is probably the best movie I've seen this year and certainly my favorite this summer! The story for Edge of Tomorrow sounds like a cross between Groundhog Day and Terminator. It's about a soldier that's thrown into this time loop where he dies and comes back battling robots every time. I would love to see it again and own this, but that final scene annoyed me.
View MoreTom Cruise and Emily Blunt star in this 2014 sci-fi film based on the novel, "All You Need Is Kill." Cruise (Top Gun) plays Cage, a military major who is forced to go into battle against a race of alien creatures. He begins reliving the same day of being killed and tries to strategize his assault against them with help from Sergeant, Rita. This is pretty good, It's sort of a mix of "Groundhog Day" and "Starship Troopers," Cruise and Blunt are good together, there's neat effects and the score is great. I recommend this.
View MoreI had a totally different expectation for this movie. I thought there was going to be somebody explaining the whole thing out at the beginning and you'd see it get played out. But no. This movie is almost like slightly lesser version of Minority Report with a really unique twist. you sort of go into the movie with so many questions, that you have to figure out based on the events in the movie. Although there is some explaining as to his groundhog day-like day repeats, instead of just watching this character solve this confusing battlefront mystery, you are trying to follow it with him. I would say this movie focuses less on combat and more on this guys trying to figure out how he can stop this war using his unique borrowed power. The ending - Wow. This was perfect to this movie's mysterious, out of place, tone. I really enjoyed how it ended on a cliff hanger, where you don't know if he stopped the omega or not, and you can use clues scattered throughout the movie to figure out/decide.
