Thankfully for viewer, the filmmakers pick up the pace and skip significant chunks of time as the story progresses.įor Tom Cruise, who appears intent on prolonging his career as an action hero, this movie is a lucky break. As the novelty of his new power wears off, even he becomes increasingly weary of reliving the early parts of each day. Yet although not every detail of the day is shown every time, it won’t be long until you are familiar enough with the script to repeat the lines along with Cage. The concept is clever-at least for a while. And audiences also see the buttocks of a soldier who prefers to fight without the restriction of clothing. Cage and Rita do have an open discussion about sexual activity and there are brief sexual references. Consequentially sexual content isn’t excessive. With the onslaught of war violence, the screenplay had to limit other content in Edge of Tomorrow in order to keep it within a PG-13 rating.

However she thinks she has figured out a way to defeat the aliens and begins training Cage to hunt down the main source of the enemy’s power. She, just as Cage, once had the ability to reboot after being killed. Finally he stumbles upon Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), the military’s poster girl heroine who earned a reputation for slaughtering hundreds of the spider-like invaders. (Think of this as Groundhog Daywith big guns.) Luckily each time he learns to stay alive a little longer. ![]() The event throws him into a time loop where he wakes up at the same precise moment on the same day to live and die over and over and over again. Without so much as a lick of training, he is strapped into a heavy metal contraption and dropped into the middle of a Normandy Beach-like invasion.īefore being killed (for the first time), Cage is splattered with blood from one of the aliens. That all changes when he is shanghaied and sent to the front lines of a battle against an extra-terrestrial enemy. ![]() In this movie, Tom Cruise plays Major William Cage, a military PR spokesman who has been able to avoid even a hint of action.
