Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow is a Science-Fiction action film where Tom Cruise's character Majour Cage is stuck in a time loop. He is normally an PR officer, however on this one day he is out in the field and his skills are greatly lacking. With the Help of Emily Blunt's character Rita he gets the help he needs.

So the film is kind of Groundhog Day meets Gears of War the video game. It's a straight forward concept and the time travel element is kept straightforward enough that it doesn't become a hindrance to the story line. Nor will it leave you have many questions about its laws of time travel, there's nothing particularly new on this front. So being something the majority of us have seen different versions will it be able to stand out from the others?

So the acting is fantastic, Cruise is very believable in his role of desk jockey come action hero and I already knew Emily Blunt was talented however this just further evidences her acting range. They both portray their characters well and Cruise's comic timing really helped the pacing of the film. The comic relief in the film is really good and provides more laughs than some other comedies I've seen recently. 

The plot is entertaining and simple which makes it easy to follow also. The action scenes are fantastic and having the same scenes over and over again could become dull as it does a couple of times in Groundhog Day, however it never really does. It's very well cut together and it was a thoroughly enjoyable watch.

Overall it's a really good film.It kept my attention throughout, I never felt the temptation to check the time, good acting, The music fits each scene well, a few really good scenes and the cinematography is also excellent. The only area I felt it let me down a little was the ending which was underwhelming but I'll leave you to decide yourself on the front. I gave it a very strong 8 out of 10, I'd definitely recommend it.
