Edge of Tomorrow [Region 2]

This is a science fiction/war/action movie which is a reasonably faithful adaptation of the novel All You Need Is Kill albeit it with name changes. It's a complete and self contained film and not the start of any series of trilogy. The film starts with a quick expositional montage, showing the start of an alien invasion of Earth, and the fighting that followed. Then we meet Major William Cage [Tom Cruise]. On the eve of a major human offensive on alien occupied territory, he's been doing great PR work highlighting the efforts of soldiers who use hi-tech battlesuits, in particular tough lady warrior Rita Vrataski [Emily Blunt]. Cage isn't keen on the prospect of joining the fighting. But he finds himself forced into it. And promptly dies in his first battle. Only to reborn, right back at the moment when he found himself forced to fight. Stuck in a time loop, dying again and again, desperate to find out why, his only hope might lie with Rita. And the only hope for the future of the Planet Earth might lie with both of them.... Yes, it's groundhog day. With aliens. But beyond that one similarity, this film has more than enough individual touches to make it worth the five star rating. A very good performance from Tom Cruise. Who convincingly portrays a man who grows and changes as a result of all he experiences. A very good performance from Emily Blunt, convincing as a tough lady soldier. The acting plaudits don't stop there. Bill Paxton threatens to steal the show as a tough and sardonic Sergeant. The actors playing the rest of his squad don't get much screen time by comparison to the major players, but they do enough to make their characters fully rounded and make you want to see more of them. The directing is superb, with the early invasion sequences and the resulting battle being visually stunning. There's an excellent amount of very good humour. And the plot has enough twists and turns to keep moving things on to the next level when required, and to keep surprising the viewer as well. Plus it Has some excellent location work in London. This is an entertaining blockbuster. It's a hugely entertaining movie experience, and it's well worth five stars. The disc has the following language and subtitle options: Languages: English, Castilian Spanish, Hindu. Subtitles: English, Castilian Spanish, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish. It begins with no trailers at all, jumping straight to the main menu when loaded up. Extras: Just two featurettes. Weapons of the future: All about the armour and the weaponry of the movie. This runs for eight minutes. Creatures not of this world: All about the aliens and how they were brought to life. This runs for five minutes. The former is very good and worth a watch. Although epileptics beware a sequence of flashing images during it. The latter is quite good but a bit too short to make an impression.

Excellent

Great movie!

Hubiera preferido la versión española pero el disco Blu-Ray tiene las mismas características. Sus escenas extra son prescindibles pero interesantes. Es una película bien desarrollada con su propia identidad; no se copia nada de otras películas de invasiones alienígenas. Tiene un toque original respecto a otras películas de viajes en el tiempo (al estilo de "Atrapado en el tiempo"). Es recomendable con diferencia.

Perfect condition.
