Edge of Tomorrow
Edge of Tomorrow is a 2014 American military science fiction film on DVD and
Ultraviolet, starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, and directed by
Doug Liman.
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 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.

Richard Roeper
- " It's the rare summer spectacle that, tacked-on coda notwithstanding,
might actually warrant repeat viewings. " – Nick
Schager
- " Unexpectedly clever surprises keep the anticipation and mystification
rolling, while the action sequences are plentiful and intense. " –
