Director : Doug Liman
Running Time : 114 mins
Major William Cage (Cruise) is reluctantly forced into combat when an invading alien race arrives on Earth. He is sent on a suicide mission with little or no training and is killed instantly, only to wake up earlier in the day. He finds himself caught in a time loop which sees him dying over and over, until he realises with the help of another soldier, Rita Vrataski (Blunt) that the reason why they have never been able to beat the aliens is because of the temporal anomaly in their blood which is what caused Cage to travel through time in the first place. Together they think they may have the answer to killing the aliens once and for all!
Considering Cruise was so boring in Oblivion, I didn’t have high hopes for this action movie, but I was surprised that it was actually really good. Cruise’s character is actually flawed, which makes a change for him, and is shown as something of a coward in teh opening of the movie. Obviously, as the day repeats, he becomes a far more worthy soldier, but it is the gradual improvement to his character that makes this so likeable and so imaginative.
