Something really weird is happening to Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow, as seen in the first trailer to his awesome looking kick-ass sci-fi/action film. I think it’s fair to say he’s becoming quite good at this sci-fi thing with hits like Minority Report, War of The Worlds and Oblivion. Starring alongside Emily Blunt, Cruise plays a soldier who seems to repeatedly die during a global battle against aliens during the course of a day, only to wake up and have to re-live it over and over again. Sure it’s sci-fi ‘Groundhog day-y’, but it still look like a fantastic heart-pumping film.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The epic action of “Edge of Tomorrow” unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
