      This is a sci-fi drama starring Tom Cruise and Emily Brunt. Ā  Critics somewhat dismissed it for effectively being too much like Groundhog Day. Ā They aren’t wrong on that point, it has the same plot mechanism. Ā 

      But I loved Groundhog Day,Ā and I often enjoy sci-fi, at least when it has positive themes. Ā So for me, this was a welcome combination. Ā 

      I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Ā My only minor complaint was that I felt Tom Cruise was slightly old for his character. Ā A younger Tom Cruise would’ve been perfect. Ā It has a positive theme, and it’s not too graphic.

      The movie is actually called Edge of Tomorrow. Live Die Repeat is advertising copy on the movie’s poster.Ā Wink

      I thought Edge of Tomorrow was going to suck, but it didn’t, though nowhere near in greatness to the brilliantly philosophical, Ulysses-inspired, I’m-not-going-to-live-by-their-rules-any-more Groundhog Day.
