Trakt for iOS
Works on iPhone and iPad.
It’s not often that I have such a strong aversion to a movie that I have not seen. I will never ever ever watch this. From the preview, posters past Miss Marvel etc. I know with 100% certainty that I will hate this movie. I’m still having cringe flashbacks from the preview. And I love bad ass chicks - I even have Trakt list by that name…
Name me a working movie star as watchable as Tom Cruise...? See. He's a dying breed. Every film he does is somewhere in the 6.5 to 8.5 out of 10 range. He doesn't make bad films. There's always something worthwhile in each of them.
So to Edge of Tomorrow. His best film of the last 15 years with the exception of the latest Mission Impossible...
His partnership with MacQuarrie is great and thankfully they're knocking movies out at a fairly regular pace these days.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's a tough ask to keep showing the same events over and over. With a less competent actor, this would have been a problem. For Cruise, it's manna from heaven.
If there's such a thing as an overlooked Tom Cruise movie, this might be it. Fix that. Go watch it. It's very good.
I was familiar with the term 'feel-good movie', but this one introduced me to the genre of 'feel-bad movies'. Not a bad movie though and a perfect fit for Cage.

This is a really messed up story. It's a little too long and the timeline can be a little confusing at one point. Sue Lyon is really good and I'm shocked to find out she was only 14 when they filmed this. James Mason is great too. I liked the music in this a lot.
