As you might remember, I hate Tom Cruz, he is a HORRIBLE actor. It just amazes me at his ability to get parts! There has to be qualified actors out there in the wings, waiting for a chance to prove their ability ... and yet .... sigh ...
With that said, Edge of Tomorrow, is probably the best film of the year I have seen so far.
First rate graphics and CGI, you actually could almost believe the settings and technology were real and working.
The storyline a bit hard to swallow, but it is sci-fi so it is supposed to be fun and entertaining. In fact, it should be almost feasible. At least in my movies I enjoy.
As for Cruz, yeah he is his typical arrogant buffoon you want to slap down in every scene. And yet, that might be just what the part required, a buffoon to pull off the stupidity the part called for. If this was even a possible storyline - one should expect a serious level of introspection and planned courses of action - not reaction, after reaction, after reaction ... But, I did take enjoyment in Cruz dying several hundred times! I think whomever the film editor did as well, the film could have been spliced differently for the same impact/storyline, however execution, after execution, after Cruz's execution just brought real satisfaction to this viewer ... :)
No I will not ruin the movie for you - go see it, perhaps even expect to own it.
It is a two thumbs up movie!
And if I promised to see this with you, well - I would love to see this one again and again and again!
