Edge of Tomorrow: Live, Die, Repeat

Edge of Tomorrow: Live, Die, Repeat is a 2014 science fiction film starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, and Brendan Gleeson. This is exactly what science fiction films should do more of: Pick a common science fiction trope and do it well, without branching out into unnecessary subplots. I can't speak highly enough of this. It's perfect as an initial introduction to science fiction/action movies, but I also enjoyed it even being very familiar with the trope. You just can't find fault with what they've done or how they've done it.

Rolling Stone says, "Edge of Tomorrow will keep you on edge. Guaranteed." DVD Talk says, "Action-packed, thought-provoking, suspenseful, and surprisingly funny, Doug Liman's Edge of Tomorrow ... is one of 2014's most entertaining films, regardless of genre" and calls it "a film worth owning."

Roger Ebert's site gives it 3 1/2 out of 4 stars and says, "The movie has an organic intelligence and a sense that it, too, exists outside of linear time. It seems to be creating itself as you watch it." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics score of 90%.
