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.

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+

"Edge of Tomorrow" is a sharp, thrilling sci-fi film that delivers one of the most compelling takes on extraterrestrial invasion in years. The mimics are menacing and visually striking, creating a formidable challenge that drives the film’s relentless momentum. The time-loop concept is executed brilliantly, offering a perfect blend of high-stakes action, dark humor, and strategic character development. Tom Cruise delivers a strong performance, embracing both his character’s initial cowardice and eventual transformation into a hardened warrior. Emily Blunt is equally commanding, bringing a steely, battle-hardened presence that elevates the film beyond standard action fare. Smart, intense, and refreshingly original, Edge of Tomorrow stands as one of the best sci-fi thrillers of the decade.

Interesting concept. Well executed. Best female heroine ever in a combat movie. She's a badass, not because she is a female but just because she is.

Bizarre. manic concept that is driven by special effects - probably leans on special effects too much more than a workable plot. Not sure if it's even worth a watch.
