Review of Edge of Tomorrow

All of the ideas in the film are familiar and repeatedly used before in major Hollywood film but director Doug Liman has done a mix and match brilliantly by adapting from the original novel and then recombining the elements from The Source Code with alien invasion into something refreshing which audiences have not seen for a long time throughout the cinematic experience. While it starts off a bit slow with the usual style of mission impossible and a little bit of video game effects, it builds into a cool and thrilling adventure thanks to the great inspiring yet emotional chemistry between Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. With addition of some smart dark humors, chilling action scenes, strong scores and stunning visual effects during repetitive death/ life, the film has turned out as a successful and entertaining science fiction for this summer.
