Who's It For?: Supposedly Edge of Tomorrow didn't make as much money as Warner Bros. would have liked. It was appreciated by critics, and those who saw it, but that wasn't enough. So now this film will be the guinea pig for a new marketing technique ... kind of, sort of change the title, but not really. Live. Die. Repeat is the film you may think you're renting/buying, but you're simply getting a Tom Cruise blockbuster smart science fiction film with a really good performance from Emily Blunt and a truly entertaining story.
PLOT: courtesy Warner Bros. Home Entertainment 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 (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 (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
MOVIE SCORE: 8/10
