Edge of Tomorrow Reviews
The joy of Edge of Tomorrow is that there are many endings, and in most of them Tom Cruise’s smirk vanishes from the screen forever to trouble us no more.

Endlessly entertaining and ceaselessly innovative
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 15, 2023
Up to that forgivably underwhelming finale, Edge neatly synthesizes Cruise's ongoing fears of obsolescence and the fiscal pragmatics of its location into a witty story about the sheer tedium of self-improvement as a necessity for survival.

There’s some good science fiction, strategic funny moments, exhilarating action, and a smart and sharp story that never grows dull.

Regardless of the various other films that Edge of Tomorrow could be compared to, the end result feels strangely unique, and not for a moment during its two-hour runtime does it lose the audience to thoughts of its influences.

There's a certain unexpected humor coming out of "Edge of Tomorrow" that boosts its doom-and-gloom alien invasion setup.

Doug Liman’s sci-fi action thriller remains one of the most enjoyable American blockbusters of the previous decade.

Edge of Tomorrow: Live. Die. Repeat manages to keep audiences on the edge of their seats in this WWII-esque sci-fi action thriller.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 5, 2022
Edge of Tomorrow is a rousing adventure filled with pulse-pounding thrills and surprising dashes of character-driven humor, the film a breathless two hours of fun worth celebrating.

Even if I can’t forgive the ridiculousness of the final moments of "Edge of Tomorrow" ... everything leading up to that ending still rules and does so even harder with the improved picture and sound.

Death becomes Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow, a gripping and meticulously constructed futuristic thriller that finds his untested soldier fighting aliens while stuck in a time loop.

Full Review | Original Score: 84/100 | Oct 4, 2021
The Angel of Verdun is an action heroine with the skills needed to ride into battle, but the empathy to reach out to the partner she just met.

The first two reels are packed with energy and invention it's only when the conventions that made the story enticing are put aside in the last reel that the movie becomes a standard Cruise action flick.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 1, 2021
Unexpectedly clever surprises keep the anticipation and mystification rolling, while the action sequences are plentiful and intense.
Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 4, 2020
On face value, Doug Liman's Edge Of Tomorrow deals with familiar tropes - of a war for the planet and time loops and alien invasions - but it's brilliantly executed with some fantastic combat sequences.

Edge of Tomorrow is proof, once again, that Cruise can certainly be knocked down but can never be counted as completely out.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020
Liman deftly orchestrates the destruction, ensuring it doesn't sink into mind-numbing Transformers fare. Blunt and Cruise invest a great deal of heart in their action heroics, thankfully minimising the hokum romance angle.

The strength of the lead performances and the inventive use of sci-fi conventions make this better than the usual mainstream fare.
