Meh.
Groundhog Day reboot - Edge of Tomorrow
I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie going in. I had seen no previews, and only knew a little bit about the plot.
But overall it was really good, I was surprised. Tom Cruise did a great job, and the script/direction was excellent.
4/5. Maybe 4.5/5

It's not me, it's someone else.
Synopsis:
Tom Cruise stars in a movie that I swear to all that is and isn't holy had to have started out as a video game premise.
Review:
Tom Cruise does what you did every time you played Doom or Wolfenstein or even more hideously difficult games. He hits the reset/quickload button, the twist being in his case that's death. This movie is semi-interesting right up until somewhere in the middle when the writer got way too hungover and put in a rule that makes the antagonists seem stupider than the ones from Plan 9 from Outer Space. If you can blot out that massive plot hole from your mind, you can sit back and enjoy some impressive visual imagery, like Emily Blunt.
Verdict:
Renter. Average, run-of-the-mill sci-fi with a larger budget.

The original novel, written by Hiroshi Sakurazaka and illustrated by Yoshitoshi ABe, was first published by Shueisha under its Super Dash Bunko imprint in December 2004. Haikasoru released an English-language translation trade paperback of the novel as "All You Need Is Kill". Sakurazaka was inspired by an online account written by a video game player, where comments on how restarting the game after the playable character's death allowed for trial and error improvement made the writer conceive a story where a hero wound up "being played over and over". Prior to writing, Sakurazaka consulted other time loop-based fiction such as the film Groundhog Day.
Booyah.

Let's see, a long series of unchanging events that require memorization of precise movements to navigate with no save points or check points so you have to repeat the entire game every time from the start ... sounds familiar. Well except at least those have levels so you don't have to redo the whole game every time.
Personally I've never cared for those sorts of games. It seems less like a game and more like trolling your players. But I still liked the movie.

When I was about ten, I could kick this level's ass in one run more than 50% of the time.

Me and the kid rewatched this movie today in observation of Groundhog Day.
It's about the dangers of unfettered illegal immigration and how it will destroy your way of life.

Even better synapsis: it's about how illegal aliens swarm into and destroy Europe.
