Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow

Starring: Cruise, Tom and Blunt, Emily

Product Description

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. Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) 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 (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.

Customer Reviews

Lots of fun to watch over and over and over

A military officer who got his rank as a public relations agent gets an opportunity contrary to his preference of going into first-line combat. Drizzled with dead alien parts, he dies on the first day. To his dismay, he wakes up, and the day starts over and over and over. Soon, he meets a mysterious combatant, and she says, “Find me when you wake up.” Something is intriguing about this movie that I can’t place my finger on, as none of the ingredients are unique. We seem to have similar plots, CGI graphics, and even the same actors. You will just have to watch this movie over and over until you find out what it is that is so captivating. Just a side note, if you purchase the 3D version, you will be required to buy active shutter 3D glasses separately.

Sophisticated Sci-Fi

This DVD arrived in great condition. This plot is like a sci-fi version of Groundhog Day. It involves a time-loop but this movie has fun special effects to make up for the repetition of some scenes. Because parts get quoted a lot ("tip of the spear") it's good to know what the hub-bub is about.
