Tom Cruise’s innovative sci-fi movie Edge of Tomorrow perfectly captures what it feels like to respawn in a video game. Edge of Tomorrow is highly inventive, relying on a familiar movie premise seen in Groundhog Day in which the protagonist essentially wakes up on the same day over and over. In the case of Cruise’s protagonist William Cage, he is forced to fight in a seemingly unwinnable war against an alien invasion, resulting in him starting each day from square one after dying, typically in combat.
Directed by Doug Liman (Swingers, The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) and co-written by Mission: Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie, Edge of Tomorrow combines action, sci-fi, and comedy to create a one-of-a-kind and highly entertaining viewing experience. Edge of Tomorrow has the highest critic and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes out of any Tom Cruise sci-fi movie. Critics praise Edge of Tomorrow for being highly original, concept-driven, and unexpectedly smart.
