+1 for Edge of Tomorrow!
As a Cruise film, it may fall off many people's radars, but it's got some really well worked out trippy stuff in there.
But I'm a sucker for non-completely-dumb time travel stuff. If you are too, be sure to check out Tenet and Predestination, if you haven't watched them already.
Both are well done, evoke consistent atmospheres, and didn't get the attention they deserve. Predestination is more physical in a Cronenbergian sense, while Tenet is pure Nolan administered intravenously.
- nailer 4y agoFun fact: Edge of Tomorrow is also known as 'Live, Die, Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow' and the original Japanese Novel was called 'All You Need Is Kill'.
- GauntletWizard 4y agoI only wish that Hollywood had had the balls to keep the original's ending. Much sadder, much more poignant.

- causi 4y agoTenet would fall solidly into the "completely dumb" time travel category for me.
- herodoturtle 4y agoWatch it backwards. The special effects of reverse polarity were well executed.
- jowdones 4y agoI generally like Tom Cruise movies, they're good more often than not. Edge Of Tomorrow was one of his best. I've even shown it to my 9 years old kid, he was flabbergasted. Might have not understood everything (he doesn't have the context) but overall he said it was the best movie he ever saw (so far).
- native_samples 4y agoIt's such an underrated movie. I watch it at least once a year. Watching it with your kids must bea lot of fun.
