When Earth falls under attack from invincible aliens, no military unit in the world is able to beat them. Maj. William Cage (Tom Cruise), an officer who has never seen combat, is assigned to a suicide mission. Killed within moments, Cage finds himself thrown into a time loop, in which he relives the same brutal fight -- and his death -- over and over again. However, Cage's fighting skills improve with each encore, bringing him and a comrade (Emily Blunt) ever closer to defeating the aliens.

Critics Consensus

Gripping, well-acted, funny, and clever, Edge of Tomorrow offers entertaining proof that Tom Cruise is still more than capable of shouldering the weight of a blockbuster action thriller.

Doug Liman’s sci-fi action thriller remains one of the most enjoyable American blockbusters of the previous decade.

Edge of Tomorrow is a rousing adventure filled with pulse-pounding thrills and surprising dashes of character-driven humor, the film a breathless two hours of fun worth celebrating.

Shadow and Act

[Edge of Tomorrow] may not be as smart as it could've been in the broad strokes, but a clever, well-acted thrill ride like this doesn't really need to have its head fully in the game, now does it?

Edge of Tomorrow is one of Tom Cruise’s best films of late. The framework and structure is unique and well handled for the most part and is still exciting, even though the final act isn’t quite on the same level.

Rated: B+

This movie is funny, action packed, with a fantastic story. It is also nice to see Tom Cruise evolve from a scared sheep character into a brave soldier. His character development through the film is slightly underrated. Besides a slightly predictable third act, I truly believe this movie has no weakness.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

One of the best sci-fi films ever made and one Cruise's best films. The way his character progressively learns and adapts to his situation after re-living day after day after day was very well done. The cadence in the story telling for something like this is so crucial and it was executed perfectly. Also, the relationship between Cruise's character and Emily Blunt's character could have been handled poorly and changed the dynamic of the story, but it wasn't and ends up being just enough so that you end up wanting more for them. There is never a dull moment in the entire story and the ending picks just the right place to land. One of only a handful or films I can sit and watch again, regardless of where I happen to catch it the story line.

The film delivers intense action and a brilliantly executed time loop concept, with Tom Cruise’s character evolving each day to get closer to defeating the alien invaders. He and Emily Blunt make a great duo, bringing both chemistry and intensity to the story.

Really good pacing and solid action throughout. The character interactions are enjoyable, and the plot isn't so trait-forward that you know what's coming. I have nothing bad to say about this title.

I was searching for films to watch and came across this one. And it blew me away, I loved how they did the immortal stuff in this film, and the twists keep you entertained. The story was really good, It felt hopeless at times and truly felt like the world could end. My one negative is some of the supporting characters could have gotten more screen time to actually like them a bit more, but other than that it was great.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
