1 Line Review: Poster says it all – Live-Die-Repeat. I say – Go-Watch-Now!
Even though you see the lead actors dying, you don’t mind it since they live again and again and again. Plus they are two beautiful people whom we all love – Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt! 🙂 It is a Sci-Fi movie based on a Japanese novel – All you need is kill.
After being killed by the alien enemy, Cage (Tom) develops the ability to see what will happen tomorrow, until he dies. Then he wakes up/lives again to repeat the process. He continues to do so until he perfects the art of killing the enemy, an alien kind creature who also has the ability to see the future. Cage meets Rita (Emily) who tells him that she also has been having similar dreams/visions. Deal was to get killed if things were not getting the way they wanted, instead of stay bleeding.
Even when it sounds a little complicated, it is not. It actually gets very very funny. Humour to such an extent that I will put this movie in ‘Humour Sci-Fi’, if at all there is such an category.
Something new happened in this movie – The 3D effects were really good and amazed me at regular intervals. Yes, I am saying this! Unlike all other 3D movies which I have complained about, this one was good.
[I have watched 3D movies in Inox, PVR and Cinepolis. The winner for best 3D glasses/effects is Cinepolis. Hands down.]
Like a typical sci-fi movie Edge of Tomorrow has action, drama, comedy, thrill and suspense. It will keep you on the edge of your seat – either making you laugh out loud or out of sheer thrill and suspense. Clearly the winner is the script/plot. Graphics are truly world class and acting is superb – well, it has to be. It’s Tom Cruise after all!
I suggest you go for it. NOW!
[Confession: I went with an exception that it would be another been-there-seen-that kind of typical American-soldiers-saves-the-world kinda movie but I was pleasantly surprised.]
