About Edge of Tomorrow

Major Bill Cage is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and dropped into combat. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an alpha alien down with him. He awakens back at the beginning of the same day and is forced to fight and die again... and again - as physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop.

Our take on Edge of Tomorrow

Doug Liman's 2014 science-fiction action film runs on a lethal loop. Major Bill Cage, an officer who has never fought, is abruptly demoted and thrown into combat against an alien invasion, where he dies within minutes. Killing an enemy in the process traps him in a time loop that resets him to the same morning again and again, forcing him to fight and fall repeatedly until repetition becomes skill. The premise turns dying into a mechanism for learning, giving the action a puzzle-like rhythm and grim humour. It suits viewers who like their sci-fi kinetic and cleverly structured, and who enjoy watching a reluctant soldier grind his way from liability to weapon.
