Tom Cruise has made some really good movies over the past decade. "Minority Report", "War of the Worlds", "Jack Reacher", "Oblivion"...the guy is taking chances on mostly original stuff...BIG, original stuff.
"Edge of Tomorrow" has some very exciting combat scenes, and even though many are repeated, different angles and camera perspectives keep them fresh. The movie progresses much like a video game. Cruise and Emily Blunt steadily progress through "levels" of battle and even make their way to "boss" level. But this is not a tired movie based on some popular video game of the past. This is a fresh take that feels like there should be a video game based on it.
Not only are Cruise and Blunt excellent in the film, Bill Paxton is awesome as the sharp-tongued, quick-witted Master Sergeant Farrell.
More people need to check out non-sequel, non-prequel, non-superhero movies like this one. It will be a damned shame if this film falls quietly by the wayside.
