"Edge of Tomorrow"
Spoilers Ahead
This Week I will be reviewing "Edge of Tomorrow"
In the year 2015 half of Continental Europe is invaded by an extraterrestrial race known as the mimics five years later in the year 2020 NATO and other nations form an Alliance to known as the United Defense Force but have only ever succeeded once against the Mimics they manage to repel the invasion but only managing to hold them at English Channel. In Britain the UDF Commander General Brigham(Brenden Gleeson) orders Major William Cage(Tom Cruise) to the front as part of a PR campaign. Cage being a public affairs officer with no real training refuses, going as far attempting to blackmail the Commander. The Commander has him arrested and shipped off to a forward operating base where he has been demoted and marked as a deserter and put into J squad under Master Sergeant Farell(Bill Paxton). The UDF launch the invasion but fails horribly falling into a mimic trap. Cage manages to kill a large mimic but dies after being covered in its blood. He wakes up at base the same morning he arrived there and attempts to warn the other soldiers of the invasion's failure, no one believes him and he is pressed into the invasion again. Cage relieves the invasion over and over. The visuals and effects were great the invasion scene is extremely well done. The acting was great Tom Cruise does an amazing job showing how battered and futile the time loop has made him feel. Emily Blunt does an amazing job as the determined elite soldier. Edge of Tomorrow is an immensely entertaining movie, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting Sci Fi action movie or anyone looking to pass some time.
Good cast, I'll have to check it out!
