Edge of Tomorrow will remind you of a few other films, that’s a given, but it’s not a blatant and bland copy of those other films. It takes these ideas and blends them in a very entertaining way, and sets them against a war-time attack reminiscent of the Normandy landings. It also has some fun with the time travel aspect of the film, and there are some genuinely hilarious moments to enjoy.

The action on the beach is pretty intense, and the visual effects are very impressive. There are also some big laughs to be had here so a crowded matinée or full price showing is recommended. At home a HD viewing on your TV is the way to go. Watching this on your laptop, Tablet or phone will seriously reduce the impact of this film.
On the technical side of things, the editing, visuals and sound effects work are very impressive. Performances from Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton are also solid, and I really enjoyed watching Cruise play against type and start this story as the coward trying everything he can to stay out of the action. The script also does a great job of moving the story forward, but in a way that never forgets where the characters are within the larger narrative’s time-line.
