*****
Directed by Doug Liman Edge of Tomorrow is a sci-fi film based on Hiroshi
Sakurazaka's novel, the world is under attack of Aliens, entire Western Europe
is invaded by "Mimics" as the Aliens are called millions of people
are perished .
Next is London as US Army Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is
called in, but as cage meets General Brigham [Brendan Gleeson] he admits that
he has no expertise of a warrior but is from an advertising field, as he denies
going to the people and motivate them to join the J-squad, a petrified General
Brigham orders his arrest and sends him to a private jail near Heathrow Airport.
He is forcibly put on a mission at the beach front Battlefields,
However Cage reluctantly fights and kills a monstrous mimic Alpha and he dies
in the combat.
Every time he dies and wakes up to a new start and
reconstructs his action and saves the troop members. Subsequently with every loop
he reaches to Special Forces soldier Rita Vrataski [Emily Blunt] and saves her
at the battlefield.
Vrataski realizes that he knows future attacks of mimic’s,
so they plan an attack on the omega which controls the mimic’s power. As they
reach Louvre where the omega has its base, Cage detonates his grenades and
attacks the Omega where it’s been hidden, thus shattering it in pieces. Finally
Omega is killed, but Cage also dies. Will he wake up this time?
Tom Cruise has given a very accomplished performance in Edge
of Tomorrow also
the futuristic production design is spectacular and the approach of alien and
human fight has changed to a uniqueness and intelligent. The script is
mas>ter>ful and requires a proper attention when you watch the movie, it’s
not just another sci - fi entertainer, so be hooked.
