Time travel can be tricky business. Whether it deals with going 88 miles per hour in a Delorean or jumping into a blue phone booth, the concept of time travel has been a part of the entertainment world for many years. A film time traveling movie can have had a hard time (no pun intended) standing out from the rest; but every now and again there is one that breaks away from the fold. Such is case of
Edge of Tomorrow. Directed by Doug Liman,
Edge of Tomorrow throws Tom Cruise in a "Groundhog Day" scenario where the day continues to repeat itself. While the concept has been done before, this sci-fi film makes the best of it by giving both an intriguing and enjoyable experience.
The story of
Edge of Tomorrow takes place in the future where Earth is at war with a invading alien force. The film's protagonist, Lt. Bill Cage, is inadvertently drafted to fight in the upcoming battle. During the day of reckoning, Cage gains the power of repeating time. With the help of decorated soldier Rita Vrataski (played by Emily Blunt), Cage tries to find a way to defeat an enemy that is always two steps ahead of them.
