Now this was fun: The timeloop zaniness of Groundhog Day meets the military scifi alien-fighting action of Starship Troopers meets the underdog-becomes-badass training montages of The Karate Kid. And while it's not as classic as those three films, it is a damn entertaining blend. It's also nice to have a genre blockbuster flick that isn't a superhero movie. In strictly perverted conclusion, Emily Blunt's arms and perpetual sheen of sweat in this movie look fucking fantastic.

Why this funny, clever, action-packed romp wasn't a bigger hit with audiences I'll never know. It hits all the right notes and leaves you with a smile as big as Tom's.

A sharp, funny romp that makes good on the promise of its premise - and that alone merits a recommendation. Cruise is on decent form and Blunt makes for an excellent co-star. Comparisons to other movies, some of them better, are rife and inevitable, but Edge of Tomorrow is an enjoyable enough ride to be judged and rewarded on its own terms. Pleasant surprise.

Groundependence Day...um...Edge of Tomorrow is a pretty decent sci-fi/action flick with the whole time loop thing fleshed out enough to make it seem far less overused than it really is. Just blame it on alien technology, that always works, right? This one has enough variation to keep the loop from growing tired, and enough splosions to be able to rest assured that both Michael Bay and myself could be seen in the theater audience, only not together, definitely not together.

This is how a high-concept sci-fi action film is done: by mining all of the premise's possibilities in each conflict, scene, and act with as much imagination as possible. Tom Cruise continues his brand as an independent everyman standing up against illegitimate authority. And Doug Liman, a director whose early work was indebted to the nonlinear stories of Pulp Fiction and Run, Lola, Run, messes with timelines in an energetic way. Great fun, even with its cheesy final shot.

Edge of Tomorrow remarkably manages to rip off so many films and video games whilst feeling refreshingly original also. Obviously you can argue that theres plot holes, as with any film of this kind. But it's smartly edited and it moves at such a rampant pace that you don't have time to dissect or question the flaws. Cruise & Blunt carry the film well and it's Cruise's best Sci/Fi to date. Visually its spectacular and the action is some of the craziest and most exciting I've ever experienced.

Paying tribute to/piggybacking/ripping off 'Groundhog Day', it (like, say, 'The Adjustment Bureau') does insultingly little with an excellent sci-fi concept. I had no fun with it at all. And I usually love time loop stories ('Lola rennt', 'Source Code'). Just not the almost unbearably stupid (how the F did Blunt know that she couldn't go back?!) and unnecessarily monotonous ones. So what should have been right down my alley instead took a giant, smelly dump right on my lawn. Over and over again.

Pleasantly surprised that I loved it this much! Edge of Tomorrow had me under the impression that it would be another one of 'those' sci/fi films but it was actually frequently entertaining and the performances are pretty good! Probably not for everybody but it's direction, writing, and visuals make it one of the best science fiction movies in years and I dug the humor that was thrown in there every now and then. Worth the watch for sure.

Surprisingly enjoyable, though it should've ended 3 minutes earlier. Edge of Tomorrow offers all the things a sci-fi-action movie with Tom Cruise should: Tom Cruise getting killed a million times, and no wait that about covers it.

I really dug this. It's smart, and thrilling almost the entire time. Blunt is lovely and her and Cruise have chemistry. The action is really intense, and it actually feels like the aliens are a real threat as opposed to just being things to shoot. The ending is a little Hollywood, but I guess that's to be expected. I also like Sci-Fi movies with a sword in them, I don't know why.

Fun. Tight script and extremely well-directed. Like Cruise's previous sci-fi vehicle Oblivion this borrows elements from a dozen films, but what seemed cliched and derivative there seems fresh and fun here. It takes Groundhog Day and combines it with elements of Starship Troopers and videogaming to produce a fun blockbuster. Cruise shows again why he's still a leading man and Blunt is an excellent sidekick. It knows what it wants to deliver (big-screen action and humour) and does so perfectly.

A war film about the trauma of continually living through battle, while everybody around you dies. The fact that this is given enough levity to make it successful on its merits as a sci-fi action comedy is an impressive balancing act.

One of the best sci-fi movies I've seen. It takes a tired concept, puts a nice twist on it, and churns out a film that follows a predictable path without any real bumps. Even the Hollywood happy ending felt refreshing, despite being anything but.

I thought, probably everyone else too, "Oh another Tom Cruise sci-fi crap" at first. It's the biggest surprise of the year for me now. This is actually most brilliant, clever, humorous sc-fi I've seen in a long time. Great action scenes and chemistry between Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise. Well done Doug Liman.

This year first surprisingly good action movie was Doug Liman "Edge of Tomorrow".
the premise and plot were clearly inspired from Bill Murray famous classic "Groundhog Day" to "Matrix Revolution".
a rehash and homage at the same time to both popular B-Movie and mainstream video game. Doug Liman directed this like a geeky fan that have just played "Halo" and craze about it for months. it was fun to watch and a brief concept of multiverse and time paradox showed that its not all about brawn.

Say what you will about the ending, this movie was amazing. This movie continues to sit on my mind days after watching it. It's not only a really fun action packed experience, but the story itself and the relationship between these characters are great. The only problems are the ending (which doesn't bother me too much) and the secondary characters sort of get played up, but aren't really developed. Also holy hell Emily Blunt.......god damn you John Krasinski!

If there is such a thing as "dumb done smartly", I think this movie is that. Don't take "dumb" as a criticism per se; I love a lot of dumb sci-fi, y'all know my sci-fi bias, but here, I actually think the "dumb" elements are intentional and crafted. The leads definitely have chemistry. Happy I saw it in 3D, totally worth it, as the visuals were great. I'll always forgive wonky plot points because sci-fi. It doesn't reach the level of other great "dumb sci-fi", but it was undeniably entertaining.

Edge of Tomorrow is a seriously fun sci-fi action film. It's smart, it has a couple of good characters, its action is fantastic and well-shot, and it offers a couple of surprises that help make it feel fresh. No, it's not just "Groundhog Day with aliens." It's more than that. It is its own thing. It is worth seeing, perhaps even a couple of times.

Every aspiring writer should take note of this film honestly. If you're just going to shamelessly rip off something like most films do nowadays, do this. Tom Cruise is incredible. Born movie star, one of the best ever. The ending doesn't satiate you too much but despite that it's still fantastic.

on the one hand: light genre fare with forgettable characters. on the other hand: lovely sweaty emily blunt in combat boots. ///////// re-watch edit: there's a message here about (making you aware of) only getting one life, and that if you practice something enough, you can become a sort of honed human being (in whatever realm you favour). That sounds sort of trite when I write it out, but it had a certain punch while (re)watching the movie. Also, the music is fab.

Tom Cruise plays himself again except he's fighting metallic alien squid spiders this time. He is imbued with powers to reset into the past like an xbox game. We see the same scenes played out in different ways with different outcomes some of which have Cruise dying hilariously. The exo-suits look lame and it seems Hollywood struggles with getting these details correct. There's a tough action woman with a big anime sword because not surprisingly this is based on a Japanese author's work.

Sure, it borrows left and right from everything between Groundhog and Private Ryan, but taken as the summer blockbuster it is, Edge Of Tomorrow is an excellently entertaining piece of popcorn cinema, that remembers to put something in between the explosions and loud noises.

Turn your brain off to enjoy this. Emily Blunt is especially awesome. Tom Cruise puts in a good performance as well. The CGI enemies were disappointing. The story lacked credibility, but was entertaining anyway. Some of the futuristic weaponry was very cool, and they did a reasonable job of telling this convoluted story with huge potholes. Many scenes were played over and over again. Also the ending was too convenient and made no sense at all. Worth watching despite its many obvious flaws.

I thought I was completely done with time travel as a fictional concept, but I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It doesn't do anything really new, but the execution was extremely solid, and I was pulled into the proceedings almost every step of the way. Why can't more filmmakers learn how important it is to focus in on your story or theme?

When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time playing NES video games, so I can understand how annoying it must have been for Cruise not to be able to save progress, especially when you have only one life, and each death means restarting from the very beginning. Playing in two player mode just makes it harder, because then you are responsible for the n00b girlfriend not to feel left out. 3-D shooter movie with great graphics, but I always preferred RPGs with character development and story to follow.

The Groundhog Day, Source Code, Starship Troopers, Saving Private Ryan comparison will be embraced by many, and this is a clever mix of these. In the end though, it fades out like a fart in the wind like most sci-fi's these days. But you'll find yourself jizzing in your pants if you've always fantasized about killing The Tom. And let's face it - who hasn't?

A movie is THAT good, when even Tom Cruise can't ruin it. I can go as far as saying that he was even good in it. "Edge of Tomorrow" has the recipe for success - groundhog day, alien invasion, soldiers in mech suits... the combo is very entertaining, engaging and simply awesome. I wouldn't mind a darker ending, but that will do.

Surprisingly great. Decently directed action for once in a recent blockbuster, and Tom Cruise's performance reminds us why we continue to tolerate him. It could be seen as a validation of the video-gamification of movies, but probably is more a testament to the lasting potency of the Groundhog Day concept. Rather than compare it to that, though, I was reminded of Looper; a stunningly good, smartly made time travel film, with a few glossed over plot holes that keep it from being masterful.

Tom Cruise goes toe to toe with the squiddies from The Matrix and their brain slug from Starship Troopers. Emily Blount goes toe to toe with giving a crap. She is not suited for action movies with love interests twice her age. Brendan Gleeson showed up, which is nice. They didn't really have a part for him, but whatever. Bill Paxton is pretty much wasted although it's nice to see him again. He was a grunt in Aliens but he's worked his way up to dick Sergeant.

Slick, big, loud, and full of explosions--I always find myself overrating stuff like this, especially around summertime. This presents us with a few cool ideas, though, mainly Cruise's curse/superpower that enables him to restart his mission after he's been killed, as if he's a human video game character who has to replay his level until he beats it. Whether that hip, edgy conceit is able to sustain this two-hour film, I'll leave for you to decide. I thought it was kind of awesome, though.

Edge of tomorrow is a kinetic sci-fi action film that uses the premise of respawning and continues usually only seen the in the realm of Video Games. I liked the feel of the film and that it had kind of a WW2 vibe but with aliens instead of Nazis. While edge of tomorrow is an action film, there's a good chunk of humor running throughout the film which helps keep it from getting too dark. Tom Cruise is decent and I liked how he had to learn to be the hero & grows as a character. Emily Blunt [Full Review]

Despite all the hate he gets, Cruise is a movie star that puts a lot of genuine effort and physical energy into his roles. Even if a movie is bad, Cruise is always there giving 110%, and EoT is no different. Let's also talk about Emily Blunt: she's a badass and could easily become the next big female action hero. So, even if the story eventually loses its allure and devolves into a generic third-act, the duo here is strong. Note: the script is a lot more goofy and fun than you might expect.

(2nd viewing) Smart, snappy and brimming with old-school charm, Edge of Tomorrow is an invigorating and exhilarating experience that barrels forward with a great sense of momentum. Wasn't too pleased with the ending - or rather its disorienting lack of exposition - but screw it, I had a blast and that's all that really matters.

In both premise and style, this is Starship Troopers blended with Groundhog Day, an experiment I still can't believe was ever greenlit much less successfully executed. It's got Verhoeven-like wit with its satire of American military culture, or at least the way it's portrayed in its own media; the main character is himself a pitchman forced to confront the carnage he sold to the public. The death gags are hilarious thanks to really solid timing, not to mention the irreverent electronic score.

It's a really fun movie. Sure there are plot holes and some things that don't make sense, but it doesn't bother me as that doesn't seem to be the focus. I can recognize the resemblance to steins;gate, which I appreciate very much. Bottom line: watch it for the guns, action, and Emily Blunt doing yoga.

When Earth falls under attack from invincible aliens, no military unit in the world is able to beat them. Maj. William Cage (Tom Cruise), an officer who has never seen combat, is assigned to a suicide mission. Killed within moments, Cage finds himself thrown into a time loop, in which he relives the same brutal fight -- and his death -- over and over again. However, Cage's fighting skills improve with each encore, bringing him and a comrade (Emily Blunt) ever closer to defeating the aliens.

This movie is what happens when you mix Starship Troopers, Groundhog Day, and the Normandy scene from Saving Private Ryan. Personally I found the mix enjoyable. It's a solid movie that's enjoyable to watch. It's not stupid, but not so intelligent that you can't follow the plot. The camera work does get a bit hard to follow at times and the ending is really jarring and confusing, but I still enjoyed the movie quite a bit.

Pretty fun. Nice action, some funny humour. My only REAL complaint is that it's based off of some Japanese Light Novel and that LN has the best title in the world. I am shocked and disgusted that they changed "All You Need Is Kill" to "Edge of Tomorrow" The first one is simply the best. God bless the Japanese and their poor understanding of English

The whole LIVE! DIE! REPEAT! thing is well established with unlikely humor, it really drew me into Cruise's character, sometimes it is just too interesting to look at and you almost forget the big threat they are facing. Liman did a great job here to maintain audiences interest without being too "repetitive". And with one of the most inventive (adapted) scripts for an original mega-budget film in a long time EOT will have you chuckle and laugh nearly as much as drop your jaw in awe of the SFX

A fascinating, well-crafted film without much emotional impact. Its originality seemed limited to broader, how-to-tell-the-story brushstrokes and didn't affect the finer, trope-filled details-but that's hardly something to complain about. A good-looking story well told.

Groundhog Day + aliens + war = Edge of Tomorrow. Doug Liman directs this film perfectly. Every little detail is spot-on, from the bleak landscapes to the well-designed aliens. His action sequences are also some of the best you'll see from this year. Tom Cruise proves once again that he is great with original material, as his performance as William Cage is one of the best of his prolific career. Emily Blunt also steps into the limelight as Rita Vrataski, making her character come alive.

Just a damn good Sci-fi/action movie done right. This is a good fuck you flick for anyone who says there is too much CG in movies nowadays. You could not make this enthralling and entertaining film without good CG,sci-fi writing, and action. Cruise and Blunt have good chemistry and are very good in their roles, and the supporting cast is also good.

It's groundhog day, space marines! Definitely above average (thanks mostly to Cruise and Blunt) for blockbuster sci-fi but not spectacular. Action is messy and cg is really iffy.

An engaging aliens vs. humans action movie with a time-travel twist, giving it a more intelligent feel-and a fresher feeling plot-than most of its summer action-blockbuster kind. Unfortunately, the emotional ramifications of the film's unique premise on Cage and Rita's relationship, while touched on a few times throughout the film, are discarded in a final scene that takes the easy way out. All told though, with its great action and good turns by Cruise and Blunt, this is still a great film.

A few flaws keep it from being fully-solid, but the middle acts and the acting by both Cruise and Blunt are top-notch, and the monster and technology designs are cool. The premise and side characters, especially at the beginning introduction, are a bit shallow, and while a good lore is established, it doesn't quite complete full circle at the end.

Wow. Way better than expected since I've been conditioned to approach Cruise with caution as the bulk of his films are usually bland. This is one of the best he's done. The action is intense without being lost in its own chaos. There's a certain comedy that works without being overblown. The end kind of stumbles a bit, especially with how immediately disposable the other soldiers are, but it's still a strong addition to a genre that hasn't felt fresh in some time.

Exoskeletons always means a couple of extra points for me, the plot is interesting but implied too many thing to make it believable, also the "bad guys" where scary but didn't have feelings so i missed the emotional connection. Overall entertaining but it's not going to become classic sci-fi.

A nice movie completely let down by the fact that it disregarded -- nay, completely threw out -- all of its own story logic, just to get the results that I assume they thought would be deemed "popular." Really disappointing.

A very competent popcorn flick, unfortunately lacking any deeper dimension (which in itself isn't very much in line with the spirit of true sf). The extent of your enjoyment depends on how much you like your entertainment to mean something. It's still at least two stories or more above "Pacific Rim", mind you, but notch or two below "Oblivion". This said, the script, cast and action are good enough to cruise you over the cliches and plotholes.

Very good, fast-paced sci-fi action film that keeps you glued to the screen. It felt surprisiginly refreshing and original, the humor worked, the action was great, over-the-top but it still felt authentic and intense. I liked the design decisions, good casting and good plot. I do think the ending could have been better, which is a shame because the rest of the film is really good. Stil a very good film definitely worth seeing, but I would have liked to see a more original ending.

It has a certain excellence to it. I got sucked into the film I'd say. Sure it has a simple concept, as if stolen from a video game, but it's a nice concept and the execution with the military exosuits and the two species fighting, etc. is just damn excellent. Idk how to really put in words the strengths of this movie, but it's good and if you liked films like Starship Troopers (1997) you'll definitely like this one too. This is a film I'd definitely recommend and will watch again myself.

Refreshingly avoids the common sci-fi trap of becoming too self serious and remains thought provoking and all the more entertaining because of it. But unfortunately falls into the common sci-fi trap of having a weaker, unconvincing third act, even though it's far from bad. The movie is just a whole lot of fun: a very well directed blockbuster with explosively gritty and exciting action sequences, humor and food for thought to quench the hunger of enthusiasts for sci-fi philosophies.

Pretty much the best action movie I've seen in about 10 years; not because it was great but rather just refreshingly different, not absurdly long (like they all are these days), and it didn't bore me to tears. The endlessly repetitive action sequences were actually an essential plot device. A few scenes were downright hilarious. But most of all, it wasn't a third reboot or ninth installment of yet another Marvel adaptation. Thank you Doug Liman...

There's little to say about EoT. It is a relatively concise, sharp and well-crafted little movie that doesn't feel larger than life, yet has certain charisma to it. Essentially Grounhog Days with Modern Warfare, Starship Troopers and some Tom Cruise. Suitable venues: When everyone's drunk. And if everyone watching the movie have played video games.

Admittedly, the plot is thin and there are a couple of terribly convenient plot devices. But boy did they have a shit load of fun with the time loop. Some of the deaths are downright hilarious. Action scenes are well executed. And then there were those glimpses of despair and weariness belied by the general mood of lightheartedness. The scene in the garage, the line uttered in surprised horror, "How many times have we been here?" - those were brilliant.

I expected this movie to be a hollywood borefest full of silly action and plotholes. It was. Then why the high rating? Because it felt fresh. If you set the HUGE plotholes aside and just try to enjoy the movie for what it is (a typical Hollywood movie), you'll find yourself entertained. Just don't watch it expecting a fantastic plot that culminates into a perfect ending.

Groundhog Day mates with Starship Troopers and gives birth to an equally clever and exciting Sci-fi saga which knows how to fight in the exoskeleton suit Elysium forgot it had. Cruise and Blunt create vivid characters amid an incredibly well-realized CG invasion scenario , a bag of plot twists and no small amount of comedy. Cruise has replaced Schwarzenegger as Sci-Fi's hardest-working leading man, getting the good but imperfect Oblivion and the far better Edge made. Audacious and adventurous.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is everything you'd expect to be: no more, no less. "Edge of Tomorrow" sets a decent pace and - as with any film of this type - has a pair of strong characters at its core. The "Groundhog Day" gimmick is not overused, and is occasionally used to good effect. The action is entertaining, the graphics are what you'd expect from any 21st century blockbuster. The plot and dialogue are nothing to write home about, but it all delivers an entertaining ride.

Great action, after a rough start. Cool sci-fi idea that an alien super-evolved species found a way to send memories back through time as a survival instinct whenever it's in danger (alphas getting killed). Learning through trial and error. Very vague explanation of the power though, even if it seems to work well enough in theory. All except the ending, that broke down all the rules they've built up.

An exceptionally good action film. The story hinges on a little trick of time that helps our friend Tom sort out a few issues along the way to saving the day. It feels like a continuous series of rip offs of films that came before it but that's ok. The action is seriously good stuff, the characters are fun, you'll be on the edge of your seat all the way.

It fizzles out down the stretch, offering a warm, smiley ending. It's not that this light and fun film about an alien apocalypse doesn't deserve a happy ending, but something about this one feels off. Regardless of whether or not the ending could use a do-over, the do-over conceit itself makes for a ton of fun. Liman brings a style and grace to the proceedings, but the movie's secret weapon is making the Tom Cruise Action Bad-Ass not Cruise at all, but Emily Blunt, who radiantly steals the show.

it's kind of ironic that trial 'n error thrillers like this and SOURCE CODE keep fucking it up right when they seem to have found the perfect endgame. i would happily watch a ten hour version of the first hour though, which is about a whole host of things (and increasingly emotionally charged to boot) without even hinting at a conscious desire to be more than a witty video game. in other words, it's outstanding genre fare. shame it couldn't last.

Overall, good. Didn't like it as much as Groundhog Day/Source Code. (SPOILERS) My main gripe is that the film becomes literally completely uninteresting after Cage loses "the power". A bit of a paradox but everything from that point on felt completely meaningless to me. An example of a film that doesn't know where its strengths lie.

Groundhog's day in a war zone. I'm not sure how this movie could have been made better since predictability is a key plot element. Tom Cruise could've done better, but Emily Blunt was on it. I quite enjoyed it, but the end was unsatisfying. And I think some superior choices could've been made, but Cage is ultimately a dipshit so it all makes perfect sense.

F7 F7 F7..the existential terror of a world without quicksave. A lot has been made of action films of the last decade as mere egrandised videogames, and although I would argue it's just the opposite (bad videogames resemble bad films), Edge of Tomorrow is one film that has a lot of fun thumbing its nose at this theory. Player character Tom Cruise faces an unbeatable learning AI, and the developer hasn't checkpointed properly. The two leads make this, but there's some risible, clunky bookending.

Yet another variation on 12:01 PM (1990), this is a moderately pleasing (if seemingly inevitably militaristic) time-waster, somewhat let down by what seems an insufficiently thought-out third act: the transition to an unconvincing "band of brothers" format, the dark and grimy visuals of the nighttime-assault action sequences, and the dubious logic of the perfunctory happy ending all fail to capitalise on what had mostly seemed a carefully constructed if videogamey piece of generic entertainment.

A smart, well-executed version of "Groundhog Day" that nicely balances between action and story.

It's like a mash up of Source Code and Aliens. Better than the former, nowhere near the classic latter (also the comedic moments reminded of Groundhog Day and the beach invasion of Saving Private Ryan and the first episode of Lost). Still, an enjoyable movie with a generic and forgettable title.

EoT suffers from the concept of "reliving the same day" which, to anyone who has experienced the turgid frustration of GHD, will think twice about. After 5 mins of pretty daft set up, I was ready to throw the towel in, but after that, EoT became an absolutely brilliantly constructed and edited story that was as entertaining, funny and exciting a film as you could wish for. Acts 1 and 2 were a masterclass in pacing, and the way that "previous visits" were revealed was always varied & interesting.

Quite good in spite of a mediocre last ~15 minutes that dispenses with the (awesome!) central gimmick of the film and instead includes a number of characters we don't really care about, a superfluous semi-romantic moment, and an ending that makes little sense (something I'm typically rather unforgiving of).

Solid action movie that uses the "time reset" element thoughtfully and creatively.

One of the great examples of a water tight sci-fi concept played fair and square and developed in many surprisingly interesting ways, especially as charting the journey of Cruise from shaky, snivelling bureaucrat to selfless commander and leader. While this lacks the more complex philosophical musings of (for example) GROUNDHOG DAY, it just about matches its intelligence and wit, fired here by Cruise who has perhaps never given a greater and more empathetic performance in "action man" mode.

Surprisingly successful take on the scifi action genre. The time loop dynamics are fairly consistently worked out, and the structure of the plot and the character's journey from self-involved media hack to warrior hero is coherent and gripping. Mainly though, I'm impressed with the way the strange, not-quite-romantic relationship between Cruise and Blunt's characters develops.

I didn't have high expectations to this summer's Cruise blockbuster, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a clever mix of many different time-bending movies, but executes better than many. I haven't seen that many alien movies, so whether or not this is a new "breed", I don't know, but I like it. The movie uses like 80% to explain the premise, but ends up deviating from it. Had it been a better outcome, I would have ended up giving it 4/5. Very entertaining. - Good

Title is terrible and generic (they should have gone with "Live Die Repeat") but the film is quite good. It gets very mind-bending at times. The film would have been better if it had been entirely about Emily Blunt's character; she was far more interesting than Tom Cruise's. That said, he's not terrible in this. He is kinda doing the thing he's been doing for 25+ years.

A solid blockbuster, it's not a backhanded compliment, it hits all the marks and doesn't really do anything wrong; it might not sound that exciting but it is.

While "Edge of Tomorrow" is admittedly not bringing anything new to the sci-fi arena, you'd have to be in a serious grump not to be very entertained by it. Paying homage to its influences, rather than simply stealing them (take note "Oblivion") it features a good cast, great design and crafted action scenes. Shame about the last 2 minutes or so; but an undeniably fun action romp, where rather entertainingly, Tom Cruise dies a lot.

The first 2/3 are 95/100. The last third loses a little credibility (~70/100) because his body survives and continues to function past the point of credulity, a la Die Hard, in order to close the deal on the story. But the directing, fx, editing, acting, art direction, dialogue, casting, premise, characters, world, concept art - it’s all 10/10. Bill Paxton as the sergeant is my favorite. ❤️🌟🥂 I like the ending, personally.
