It's too bad Tom Cruise action flicks aren't taken seriously as a must see summer movie. I agree that Oblivion, Jack Reacher, and the like were just ok, but Edge of Tomorrow is good! First of all, I love Director Doug Liman. He directed the Bourne movies with Matt Damon and several other creative and smart, action-packed films. Edge of Tomorrow is about the Earth being invaded by "aliens" called Mimics--spider-like life forms. Without giving too much away, Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is killed in battle time after time a la Groundhog Day; however, he learns how to fight the invaders better and better each time. Some may get tired of the reliving of the day's event over and over, but I enjoyed the learning curve that Cage and Rita (a really good Emily Blunt) discover. Smart and good summer action.
