Edge of Tomorrow (2014).
Brain-Bug Day
3 balls.....
Okay so it's derivative of a handful of admired genre classics of screen and print, so was Star Wars but it doesn't really mix the elements enough to create a new recipe.
It's replicates the sensation of playing a game like Halo or more accurately watching someone else play it.
You are a mechanically enhanced soldier, you get to progress through the plot using various save points and when you die you get to take your knowledge with you to complete the levels and try and finish the final boss battle.
In fact if this were the long awaited Halo film that plot device would probably have gone down well with the target audience as a point of connection with their game play experience.
The D-Day references seemed a bit in poor taste but the action was fun, the acting was lean. Cruise seems isn't as stretched in acting terms compared to the slightly more interesting Oblivion (2013).
What does he have against pyramids by the way?
I don't hate this.
