Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Directed by Doug Liman
this film based on the novel “All You Need Is Kill” stars Tom
Cruise and Emily Blunt. Earth is invaded by aliens and an advertising
executive is forced onto the front lines as a soldier then gets
caught in a time loop.
The premise of this
film is a mash up of Groundhog Day (1993) and Starship Troopers
(1997) with an echo of video games. While the film has fun with the
humour in the set up as well as a nice change on gender roles it
lacks any really heart or brains. If you just want a fun two hours of
explosions and a story that doesn't take itself too seriously then
this is the place to be but if you want something more then you might
have to look elsewhere.
3/5
