Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
This gradually won me over, as I wasn’t overly optimistic at the beginning which looked like a trailer for the game Gears of War. And the Groundhog Day concept is quite similar to save points in games, but the movie handles it really well. There is a proper balance of seriousness, as it is an alien invasion after all, and the general fun moments that comes from repeating the same day over. It doesn’t become repetitive and it is pretty entertaining seeing Tom Cruise go from completely incompetent and afraid to super soldier action hero. The proper balance of Cruise’s movie-persona restored.
