Edge of Tomorrow
Directed by Doug Liman
Major Bill Cage is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and dropped into combat. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an alpha alien down with him. He awakens back at the beginning of the same day and is forced to fight and die again... and again - as physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop. From TMDB

Resetting the day. Edge of Tomorrow is directed by Doug Liman and collectively written by Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth. It stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, with music by Christophe Beck and cinematography by Dion Beebe. It has proved to be a great decade for sci-f, it seems that for every misfire there are three great genre films to off set the disappointments. Sitting at the …

Exceptional performances, effects, story, and pacing round out this amazing film making it worth Live, Watch, and Repeating. Edge of Tomorrow (or Live. Die. Repeat.) is an exhilarating mash-up of time-loops, alien invasions, war, and post-apocalyptic humanity struggling for survival. Add Tom Cruise’s charismatic coward to champion and Emily Blunt’s battle-hardened warrior into that mix, and this movie soars from a …

End of the world groundhog day sci-fi monster movie. Tom Cruise playing an utter coward, at least in the beginning, is a refreshing change. This is one of those 'repeat incident' movies you have to keep watching, just to see what's going to change next time around. Oh, and the alien beasts, more over the way they move, are utterly terrifying. Unfortunately, the out-of-step ending leaves you thinking "Wait, what?"

I have to say that this movie was surprisingly enjoyable. I did have my doubts about it. I always have doubts about movies that manipulate time. I guess one advantage the movie has is that it does not really involve time travel and changing the past to influence the future but “only” resetting a day and living it over and over again. The entire concept is of course still totally ludicrous. Even if we forget about …

An alien invasion in Europe combined with a Groundhog Day concept, Tom Cruise repeats the same day over and over. Starting the movie as a coward, he slowly goes through his hero's journey becoming a brave hero on his quest tp save humanity from fast-moving parasitic aliens with long gross tentacles. Emily Blunt adds great acting and good chemistry with Cruise on set. The special effects are detailed and fun, …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Edge of Tomorrow received largely positive reviews from critics, who praised the humor, Liman's direction, the aliens' design, Cruise and Blunt's performances, and the time-loop premise's ability to remain fresh. Some critics had issues with the film's conclusion. Based on 339 reviews, review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 91% of critics gave the film a positive review, with a rating average of 7.5/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "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." On another aggregator, Metacritic, the film…

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched Edge of Tomorrow. Still a great movie. More western blockbuster need to embrace the power of Manga and light novels.
positive · AI labelView post →I should rewatch Edge of Tomorrow. Fun movie. Still surprised it got made.
positive · AI labelView post →Edge of Tomorrow fucking owns folks. We did not deserve a movie where Tom Cruise dies horribly like 150 times and Emily Blunt does that stretchy thing with her back.
positive · AI labelView post →Decided to have a movie night, was originally going to show the children Inception but stumbled across Edge of Tomorrow and was like “oh yeah, you need to watch this one, we’ll watch Inception tomorrow” (afterwards my older one started cracking up when I told them the original title)
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching Edge of Tomorrow… comfort movie for a wow hardcore addict
positive · AI labelView post →I like EDGE OF TOMORROW a lot but I can't get away from the feeling that the things about the movie that work are the parts that are directly ripped off from GROUNDHOG DAY and the things about the movie that don't are all the times it veers away from GROUNDHOG DAY
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night we watched Edge of Tomorrow with the kids and that movie is so much better than it has any right to be.
positive · AI labelView post →And new key visual for "All You Need Is Kill". Reminder: the film is based on the light novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, which already inspired "Edge of Tomorrow" movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Why this and not a sequel to his greatest film, Edge of Tomorrow?
neutral · AI labelView post →By the way, Edge of Tomorrow is definitely the best sci-fi movie — one of the best movies of any genre — that still too many people don’t know about. Suffered from the start from a bad title, but it’s absolutely fantastic. I’ve watched it SO many times.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Edge of Tomorrow for the first time this morning. What a really cool movie. I was a big, big fan of watching Tom Cruise die over and over and over again. Finally found a role I like him in.
positive · AI labelView post →LOOPER. My favorite sci-fi film. EDGE OF TOMORROW is also a time travel movie and it fucking slaps. Hot take: BACK TO THE FUTURE is great. Not a movie, but THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER is right up there.
positive · AI labelView post →It will never not crack me up that Edge of Tomorrow (a movie I really like!) had THREE different titles at various points (All You Need is Kill, Edge of Tomorrow, Live. Die. Repeat.) and they went with the most boring one
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite part is she said he didn't read books or watch movies and his NO! NO! NO, NO NO NO! NOOOO! response wasn't about books, because he can't read, he just went to some movie Twitter account and gave 3 word essays on such important films like Edge of Tomorrow and Fifth Element.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think overall it's good that there are a lot of GROUNDHOG DAY ripoffs — it's a great movie and most of its derivatives are good too! EDGE OF TOMORROW is one of the best ones. But I don't know if it really adds anything to the genre besides some B- action scenes.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the most deranged opinions to gain mainstream currency on Al Gore’s internet was that the movie Edge of Tomorrow should have been released under the title of the original manga, All You Need Is Kill.
negative · AI labelView post →Just watched Edge of Tomorrow with the kids. First time for me and my wife since the theater. That movie whips ass.
positive · AI labelView post →Doug Liman's Edge of Tomorrow is 10 today! It's one of my favorite blockbusters of the last decade. A sequel has been on the table for 10 years - but after all, Riddick 4 and Tron 3 are coming. You never know. But I think this film stands on its own.
positive · AI labelView post →All You Need Is Kill, the science-fiction novel that inspired Tom Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow film, gets an anime by STUDIO4°C! It will retell the story from a different viewpoint than either the novel or the Hollywood film!
neutral · AI labelView post →Edge of Tomorrow minus the scene where Emily Blunt kisses Tom Cruise at the end is an all-timer sci-fi action film.
positive · AI labelView post →I never, never get tired of saying EDGE OF TOMORROW is the best film of 2014. Also, Emily Blunt is a goddess.
positive · AI labelView post →I love Edge of Tomorrow. For its 10th anniversary, I revisit Tom Cruise's time loop action movie - a rootin’-tootin’ sci-fi spectacle and a comment on the infallibility of the Hollywood hero www.theguardian.com/film/2024/no...
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching Edge of Tomorrow and what a masterful movie this is on so many levels. I love how every time he wakes up the first thing he sees is the poster on the side of the bus of Rita Vrataski with "Full Metal Bitch" defaced on it, and it takes on new meaning every time based what just happened.

neutral · AI labelView post →Movie idea: A person keeps reliving the same day where they watch “Groundhog Day” and “Edge of Tomorrow” nonstop.
neutral · AI labelView post →Edge of Tomorrow (2014) is a movie about the job search process
neutral · AI labelView post →okay: EDGE OF TOMORROW is great up until the time loop stuff ends. I don’t care that it “raises stakes,” it means the movie stops doing the thing I liked watching and became like every other movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →okay which one of you is this (review for Edge of Tomorrow btw)
neutral · AI labelView post →Edge of Tomorrow is such an underrated/underappreciated film. It's damn near perfect.
positive · AI labelView post →There’s something interesting to me about movies we can watch over & over. They aren’t necessarily the best movies, or even our favourites. I have lots of movies I like much better, but I’m content to watch those just once or twice. But Gladiator, LOTR, Edge of Tomorrow, Tombstone etc? Over & over.
positive · AI labelView post →A friend of mine watched this movie at the theaters twice in one day and was considering going back for a third. I told him he was doing Edge of Tomorrow by repeatedly watching Edge of Tomorrow
neutral · AI labelView post →It remains absolutely bewildering that Edge of Tomorrow was not a massive hit. That movie completely rocks.
positive · AI labelView post →EDGE OF TOMORROW is the best video game movie ever made. From memorizing sequences to the absurdly sized blade weapons to the repeated deaths to the stealth missions. It's a movie that plays like a video game. (Complimentary.)
positive · AI labelView post →Turns out most movie titles change at the last minute! Here are some original titles that I learned about: Edge of Tomorrow: Groundhog Troopers Ciderhouse Rules: The Foundling Abortionist Empire Strikes Back: Cool Hand, Luke (also originally his name was not Skywalker!!! it was Sisterkisser)

neutral · AI labelView post →Edge of Tomorrow is a perfect movie. So half of that request at least.
