Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow (marketed as Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow on home media, or simply Live Die Repeat) is a 2014 American science fiction action film starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Doug Liman directed the film based on a screenplay adapted from the 2004 Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

Plot
When Earth falls under attack from invincible aliens, no military unit in the world is able to beat them. Maj. William Cage (Tom Cruise), an officer who has never seen combat, is assigned to a suicide mission. Killed within moments, Cage finds himself thrown into a time loop, in which he relives the same brutal fight -- and his death -- over and over again. However, Cage's fighting skills improve with each encore, bringing him and a comrade (Emily Blunt) ever closer to defeating the aliens.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) This film stays true faithful to the original novel it is based on.
 * 2) While the film has a terrible concept and starting to seem like the Groundhog Day setup works pretty consistently outside of Bill Murray’s movie, it was actually well-executed.
 * 3) The film has astounding acting, especially from Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.
 * 4) It has a very fantastic soundtrack by Christophe Beck.
 * 5) The designs of the Mimics are very impressive and creepy-looking.
 * 6) The film has some pretty awesome action sequences, for example, the battle sequences on the beach in France and the battle at the Louvre.
 * 7) This film was semi inspired by the Predator or Aliens films.
 * 8) This film has astounding direction from Doug Liman, the director of the first Bourne film, "The Bourne Identity", the comedy-drama, "Swingers" and the cult classic, "Go".
 * 9) The film's time-loop premise is very original and faithful to the original book.
 * 10) Some of the film's humor is quite decent.
 * 11) Passive moments.
 * 12) "Come find me when you wake up!"

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) The ending isn't that great.
