Very good. Didn't get enough attention.
One of my favorites

..won’t turn it off when I stumble on it.
Tom Cruise is a total whack job

But he never ever mails it in or takes a play off. He always gives 100% to every scene in every movie he's in.

He acts so hard sometimes that it makes me tired just to watch him.
So...

... GOOD
Great Film!!!

It's rated over 91% on Rotten Tomatoes with 300+ reviews. Plus 90% with audiences score over 100,000+

I think the producers released it at the wrong time, as it competed with the World Cup and a teen drama that got released in the same week. If marketed better, they would have had a better box office hit. Either way, it did rack up over $300+ million in the box office.

Although most of the fan following has been through word of mouth after it's theater run in 2014.

They have a script for a sequel and the director said they're in early development.
One of the best action movies ever made

It's great. One of the best sci fi movies in recent memory. During the movie I kept thinking it reminds me of anime. Turns out it was adapted from Japanese novel.
Probably the best Cruise movie and performance in recent times

Blunt was also fantastic. The film was colossally mismarketed.

If you like the movie, listen to the Rewatchables pod on it, it's one of the few without Simmons and flies by.
Yea this is one

Of my all time faves. Tom Cruise is that dude and Emily Blunt aka the Angel of Verdun! If you like to read, check out All You Need is Kill, it’s what Edge of Tomorrow is based off. Very very good, and quite a few differences as well, but still excellent. I can’t wait until they finally get the sequel going!
It’s such a fun

movie. I also find it re-watchable. I love Emily Blunt and the dude who plays the general. Tom Cruise always does his thing well.

This is why I never read up on actors or listen to there views on life. It would ruin movies for me.. he’s a good actor and that’s all I know about him. Great movie. This thread is going to make me watch it again.
I remember watching it

several years after release...bored on a weekend afternoon with nothing to do...flipping through and found this just started. It was really good.
Never saw it  
thomasa510 : 5/2/2021 7:48 am : link
I never saw it and haven’t watched more than 10 movies in last decade that aren’t cartoons/Disney with my kids.

Was looking for a sci fi film to escape in and couldn’t find one. Will give this a try

For sure. I'm pretty sure the General was the guy that plays Professor Moody from Harry Potter. Fun watch.

Ha yeah you can tell I don't watch TV too much anymore... lol. I read Mr. Mercedes (good books) but I had no idea they made them into a show.
Fantastic movie

It was underrated when it came out, but it's finally getting its due. Such a great sci-fi action flick
It was a total surprise  
HomerJones45 : 5/2/2021 2:11 pm : link
good movie.
This is one of those movies that I automatically watch when I

see in on a movie channel. This, Gangs of New York, and Gladiator. My family just laughs at me. They always assume I'm watching one of the three.
