The indescribable something – some element
of movie magic – that does not quite come together in Minority Report and later
Oblivion, comes through in Edge of Tomorrow – and how! This is an unmissable
one from Tom Cruise’s “I-alternate-between-future-saver-of-Mankind and
Mission-Impossible-Part-Zillion” stable. US Military officer Cage (Tom Cruise)
finds himself thrown into direct warfare – against an invading alien army
called the Mimics. Through a strange power that has been bestowed only on him
on account of his actions, Cage finds himself being reborn over and over, with
ally Rita Vrajanski aka Full Metal Bitch (Emily Blunt), and, over the course of the re-births, the duo try to
salvage the future of mankind. The strength of Edge of Tomorrow derives from a
well-written script as much as it derives from sterling performances from the
lead pair. Mankind can heave a sigh of relief over this one.
