TRAVEL TO MOVIES: EDGE OF TOMORROW


Director: Doug Liman
Cast: Tom Cruise , Emily Blunt , Bill Paxton , Marianne Jean-Baptiste , Brendan Gleeson
Plot: Humanity is at war with an alien race known as Mimics, and Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat until he is unceremoniously demoted and then dropped-untrained and ill-equipped-into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an Alpha down with him. But, impossibly, he awakens back at the beginning of the same hellish day, and is forced to fight and die again... and again. Direct physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop-dooming him to live out the same brutal combat over and over. But with each pass, Cage becomes tougher, smarter, and able to engage the Mimics with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), who has laid waste to more Mimics than anyone on Earth. As Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated battle becomes an opportunity to find the key to annihilating the alien invaders and saving the Earth.

My Movie Review: The movie is unforgettable because of the repeated scenes over and over again. I got tired watching this movie, the tagline live, die, repeat is a nice concept but I felt they didn't push the envelope much. I want it to be more creative, move forward with exciting twist and fresh environment could help. I didn't like it at all, maybe harsh but this is really what I feel some reviewers gave this movie high ratings and positive reviews.
My Favorite Term: Mimics

Mimic is a person who copies the behavior or speech of other people: a person who mimics other people; also: an animal that naturally looks like something else.
