Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
New thing today, watched Edge of Tomorrow (2014). I liked it! It's like Groundhog Day but action sci-fi and a bit of a love story. It also has some good comedy moments peppered in and the Sisyphus effect feeling of the story.
Bill Paxton has a great role and I enjoyed his scenes. I like Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise in general, so I liked their pairing in this. Their chemistry wasn't overly obvious in the beginning, but you see as time goes on he develops the crush, and for her she's just met him so I think that played really well.
I really liked how the story plays out. It's not cut and dry obvious what they should do, so there's a lot of trial and repeat in the story trying to figure out what to do. I don't want to give away too much if you haven't seen it, but overall it's nice. Pacing was good and it concludes nicely.
The aliens are kind of insane. I always like when the delve into the villain or antagonist, but they didn't go too much into the aliens, just a bit. Overall a good movie. May be on we end up adding to the collection. Not sure? I do like this sci-fi stuff, and this was a good movie! Go out and see it! I'd give it 4/5 stars :)
