Director Doug Liman has an impressive film catalog with films like The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Looper. In 2014 he teamed up with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt for the sci-fi action flick Edge of Tomorrow. Fans have been clamoring for a sequel ever since, but who knows if its ever going to happen. Until then you can bring the flick home on 4K Ultra for the first time ever.

​

Edge of Tomorrow follows an alien race, undefeatable by any existing military unit, that has launched a relentless attack on Earth, and Major William Cage finds himself dropped into a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage is thrown into a time loop, forced to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again and again. Training alongside Rita Vrataski, his skills slowly evolve, and each battle moves them a step closer to defeating the enemy in this intense action thriller.

 

I have always been a fan of films like this reliving the events of life over and over when they are handled right.

Revisiting it I wondered if it would still hold up since I haven’t watched it in sometime, but glad to report I love it all the more than before.

 

The mech suits are all kinds of awesome and the unique look of the aliens made for some great visuals and action. Cruise carries the action like he always does, but this time around being a less confident and experienced
