Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

Edge of Tomorrow




Trailer



Finally got my hands on the Edge of Tomorrow DVD yesterday from the library and it was worth the wait it took to get here. I was hoping for pure escapism and this delivered in a bit way. The special fx of course is amazing and the story, a cross between Groundhog Day and Gears of War was superb. There isn't anything that I can find at fault with here. Sure, they went with a happy ending, but it's expected with these types of Tent Pole flicks from Hollywood. One thing I find veyr surprising was the humor. Whnen you think of the names Tom Cruise or Sci-fi, the last thing you expect to do is laugh. But there were a handful of funny moments that made me do that very thing and it was a welcome change. I've never read All You Need Is Kill, so I don't know what was changed or not during translation to an American film. But I do know that because of the movie, I'm very interested in picking it up. Hopefully my Library has a copy. Other reasons to check out Edge of Tomorrow would be Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton. I couldn't help but make the connections to Aliens because he was commander of a J Squad that bore a passing similarity to the platoon in Aliens. Definitely worth a Rent. Watching the movie, I kept trying to pinpoint who the director was. Went through a whole list of potential candidates. I wasn't even close when I saw the end credits. He sure has come a long way from his humble beginnings with Swingers. I've always liked him as a director, but I had no idea he had done this until the end.

FYI, this movie looked awesome on my big, fat 50 inch TV.  ;D
