Edge of Tomorrow: Live Die Repeat [DVD] [2014]

Great movie!

I passed this movie by a couple of times until I heard so many good things about it that I made myself stick with it past the first 30 minutes to see what all the talk was about. Very glad I did! Cruise and Blunt chemistry is superb!

Clever plot Living in a time loop. Good acting pulls it off.

Love this movie

It seemed to me that this disc did not have everything that was in the theatrical version.Anyway, the movie is a solid Sci-Fi movie of kicking Alien ass! Great plot and acting. 4 Stars because they cut it short.

There is nothing better than watching Tom Cruise die over and over again. :-) Seriously great movie.

I bought this a year ago and I can't even remember who recommended it to me. But my wife and I finally watched it. Damn it was good. I can't even remember the last time I saw a Hollywood movie that I really enjoyed. Buy it. Watch it. Enjoy a movie again.

One of the things needed in a good story is a good character arc. This movie has that in spades. Tom Cruise starts as a complete wimp and, throughout the story he transforms into a completely different, stronger character. I lost count of the number of times I've watched this. It is totally re-watchable and well worth owning, instead of relying on it to appear on TV. Highly recommend!

This is a science fiction/war/action movie which is a reasonably faithful adaptation of the novel All You Need Is Kill albeit it with name changes. It's a complete and self contained film and not the start of any series of trilogy. The film starts with a quick expositional montage, showing the start of an alien invasion of Earth, and the fighting that followed. Then we meet Major William Cage [Tom Cruise]. On the eve of a major human offensive on alien occupied territory, he's been doing great PR work highlighting the efforts of soldiers who use hi-tech battlesuits, in particular tough lady warrior Rita Vrataski [Emily Blunt]. Cage isn't keen on the prospect of joining the fighting. But he finds himself forced into it. And promptly dies in his first battle. Only to reborn, right back at the moment when he found himself forced to fight. Stuck in a time loop, dying again and again, desperate to find out why, his only hope might lie with Rita. And the only hope for the future of the Planet Earth might lie with both of them.... Yes, it's groundhog day. With aliens. But beyond that one similarity, this film has more than enough individual touches to make it worth the five star rating. A very good performance from Tom Cruise. Who convincingly portrays a man who grows and changes as a result of all he experiences. A very good performance from Emily Blunt, convincing as a tough lady soldier. The acting plaudits don't stop there. Bill Paxton threatens to steal the show as a tough and sardonic Sergeant. The actors playing the rest of his squad don't get much screen time by comparison to the major players, but they do enough to make their characters fully rounded and make you want to see more of them. The directing is superb, with the early invasion sequences and the resulting battle being visually stunning. There's an excellent amount of very good humour. And the plot has enough twists and turns to keep moving things on to the next level when required, and to keep surprising the viewer as well. Plus it Has some excellent location work in London. This is an entertaining blockbuster. It's a hugely entertaining movie experience, and it's well worth five stars. The disc has the following language and subtitle options: Languages: English, Castilian Spanish, Hindu. Subtitles: English, Castilian Spanish, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish. It begins with no trailers at all, jumping straight to the main menu when loaded up. Extras: Just two featurettes. Weapons of the future: All about the armour and the weaponry of the movie. This runs for eight minutes. Creatures not of this world: All about the aliens and how they were brought to life. This runs for five minutes. The former is very good and worth a watch. Although epileptics beware a sequence of flashing images during it. The latter is quite good but a bit too short to make an impression.

Excellent

Hubiera preferido la versión española pero el disco Blu-Ray tiene las mismas características. Sus escenas extra son prescindibles pero interesantes. Es una película bien desarrollada con su propia identidad; no se copia nada de otras películas de invasiones alienígenas. Tiene un toque original respecto a otras películas de viajes en el tiempo (al estilo de "Atrapado en el tiempo"). Es recomendable con diferencia.

Perfect condition.

Having passed me by at the cinema stage of release, I saw largely positive disc reviews for this film so decided to give it a go on Blu-ray; I was not disappointed ! My decision to purchase was swayed by the intriguing concept (Sci-Fi 'Groundhog Day'), the presence of Tom Cruise (who is always good value and rarely appears in a duff movie) but most significantly because the director is Doug Liman, someone who is responsible for past favourites of mine such as the entertaining 'Swingers', then more latterly, the superb/genre-defining 'The Bourne Identity'. As I watched this film 'late' and after many other reviews have been posted I'll keep this review short. I'm not that keen to divulge too much about the plot, but should point out that the Amazon synopsis is a bit too 'revealing' in parts BUT also massively inaccurate in other areas ! So, whilst not wishing to spoil things for new viewers, what I'd like to add about the plot/storyline is that a tongue is firmly in one cheek throughout, which adds a special ingredient so often absent from these kind of flicks., Serious the subject-matter might be (ie invasion, death etc) BUT I haven't seen Mr Cruise play a self-deprecating/'wimp' (coward really) kind of character before the one he plays here (to GREAT effect !) and rarely one which created so much humour (aside from a turn in 'Tropic Thunder', especially during the end credits !). If you watch without too much pre-knowledge there are also a couple of nice surprises/plot twists.... It is also refreshing to see Cruise play the minor 'lead' part, with the necessary 'tough guy' character actually being a woman - fantastic ! I was also pleasantly surprised to eventually spot what was to me an almost unrecognisable Bill Paxton, clearly having lots of fun - like everyone else !!! The story romps along and deals with the necessary 'repetitiveness' very well; the special-effects are also marvellous. Everything looks and sounds as good as you should expect of a modern release on Blu-ray. I've attached a photo of the back of the disc box sleeve that my purchase came with. So, all the ingredients for a potentially very entertaining 2hrs of viewing - AND THIS FILM DELIVERED THAT FOR ME !
