Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow

Critics Consensus

Gripping, well-acted, funny, and clever, Edge of Tomorrow offers entertaining proof that Tom Cruise is still more than capable of shouldering the weight of a blockbuster action thriller.

Movie Info

The epic action of "Edge of Tomorrow" unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop-forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again...and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.(C) Warner Bros

  • Edge of Tomorrow is the perfect mix of blustering action and sci-fi thinky nonsense that is best enjoyed without picking at it too much.

  • Shirks its responsibility to be about anything. Still, decent fun.

    Top Critic

  • Edge of Tomorrow is a decent time waster, but if you're the sort of person who watches a movie every day, you should probably look for something better.

  • The smartest blockbuster of this summer season, or perhaps any summer season.

    Kevin Maher

    Times (UK)
    Top Critic

  • The 51-year-old Cruise clearly relishes playing the flawed hero - one who gets to be smarmy, duplicitous, exasperated, intimidated, bad-ass and wise.

    The movie makes good paths between what happens now , why is that like it and little dramatic pinches of waiting for the next step of the stoty. It really is nice to watch and mostly very nice.

    "Edge of Tomorrow" is an exciting Sci-Fi film of 2014. "Edge of Tomorrow" has amazing acting from "Tom Cruise" and "Emily Blunt". The plot to "Edge of Tomorrow" is great; there are hardly any scenes that aren't entertaining to watch. The music in "Edge of Tomorrow" is thrilling; it makes scenes even more exciting. The special effects in "Edge of Tomorrow" are flawless, no green screens are visible, and C.G.I. is unnoticeable. I highly recommend you watch "Edge of Tomorrow" as it is an amazing Sci-Fi film of 2014. I give "Edge of Tomorrow" a 9/10.
