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+

The movie is just perfect, in my opinion it is the most underrated movie of the 21st century. Tom Cruise, like always is just perfect. No words of mine can define this film. For me it is the greatest action film ever.

It puts a whole new spin on the alien invasion genre because it includes time travel. It's like a sci fi Groundhog Day if you will. Plus, Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt make a great team in this sci fi epic. It also dusts off the grit with a little bit of humor.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

With white-knuckle action and incredible performances by Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, Edge of Tomorrow is a nifty, clever and often funny sci-fi action film with terrific special effects and illustrious direction by Doug Liman. The film is a tad repetitive at times and parts of its ending could have been finessed, but this is overall a great movie that i recommend to check out if you haven't already.

Edge of Tomorrow is a flawless testament to Doug Liman's directorial strengths--exciting set pieces and creative visuals--all while standing as an (unfortunately) strong portrayal of his weaknesses, those being character development, plot, substance, and logic.
