Edge of Tomorrow

Synopsis

An untrained soldier is thrown into a brutal battlefield and quickly killed, before being forced to relive the same day over and over again in an attempt to defeat the alien invaders that have taken the Earth hostage. The film’s narrative evokes the experience of playing video games with its repetition and trial and error approach, each “life” gradually taking the hero one step further towards the final showdown. With its knowing humour and broadly satirical edge, this is an ingenious action movie with brains as well as brawn and impeccable production design.
