Edge of Tomorrow (PG-13)

Thrilling, creative and well acted. There was a lot of doubts about “Edge of Tomorrow,” but for me it seems very cool; and since I first saw the trailer that I was excited to see it.

The concept of the story is so cool! Something between Duncan Jones “Source Code” and a mix of many war films. The action sequences of war are absolutely amazing and the special effects so well done! With a fantastic and super original Sci-Fi story you will be intrigued until the very last minute and you can’t even predict what is coming next.

What I wasn’t expecting was the amount of humour the film has. Those comical parts go very well with the story and are very well delivered. I let go an amount of spontaneous laughs throughout the story and that was great.

Tom Cruise was really great at his role! We already know that through the last few years he is a guy that likes to do this kind of physically difficult roles full of action and he certainly is in shape for that. I confess that I prefer the ’80s and ’90s Tom Cruise, but he was pretty good in this and that is the Tom Cruise that I wanna continue to see! (although last year I also liked to see him in “Oblivion” which I think is not as bad as many say). Emily Blunt is a good actress, seeing her in this badass role was awesome! The chemistry between Cruise and Blunt was fantastic and I really liked Bill Paxton’s character too.

I heard somewhere that this film was “the best video game film that was not based in a video game” and while I was watching it I really felt that! It was so cool to almost feel that I was actually playing a video game something like “GAME OVER, start all over again!” haha

First was “X Men: Days of Future Past,” and now “Edge of Tomorrow.” Two great Blockbusters! Will this summer continue to be great? I hope so!
