Edge of Tomorrow is a movie that a majority of the public has't seen at cinemas, while the piece of shit that's Transformers 4 is dominating the box office for the duration of the winter season, this movie is getting almost no attention and I could see why; this movie's concept has been done before in many different ways as I'll further elaborate in part 1.



Part 1: Have I seen this movie before.
This movie feels a combination of different concepts from other well known stories blended into a singular story, to sumarize; it has space marines clad in exoskeletons like in Starship troopers(the novel) and other Military sc-fi stories like Aliens, Halo, Gears of war, starcraft and Warhammer 40k so it not like it been done before in sc-fi stories.
The Groundhog day loop has been done before too in several stories like in the Harold Ramis's Groundhog Day, Majora's mask, Haruhi Suzumiya just to name a few but the groundhog day loop in this movie case actual hurts it in a way.

Part 2: Everyday is the same.
Much of the movie revolves around the trials of Major Cage as he tries to progress through the plot, the movie follow the typical structure of Groundhog day loop story, the first day of the cycle is usually the worse and the days after get progressive better as the hero gain knowledge; the problem with how the movie handles the Groundhog day loop is that scenes get repeated more often then not beyond the first day and because the movie's plot progresses via this Groundhog day loop; it effects the the replayability of the film in general and that's bad thing because it would make it be the kind of movie you would only watch once and that credibility of the movie after it's initial in the cinemas, nobody wants to watch a movie that repeats the same scenes several time varying degrees of alterations. It does't help that the character are 2 dimensional at best which moves on to the next point

Part 3: 3d is better to 2d
The mark of a great movie is well develop characters and arcs, while Cage the protagonist does have character arcs, it as basic as going from a wimpy Major to a badass space marine over the course of the films, there's no depth to his character arc and backstory and Rita Vrataski the Deuteragonist of the film is a badass with a stoic personality that does't really have a proper character arc. the side character are nothing talk home about, generic space marines composed of archetype we've seen, a black sergent naned Farell from kentucky and general that only appeared two times in the film.

Part 4: Characters>Plot
Edge of Tomorrow is a movie that seams to be driven by it's plot then it characters, this is a bad because it effects how the viewers relates to the character, if the characters are bland and forgettable like in the case of this movie, then it going hard people to follow the plot from a emotional stand, nobody care the space marines when they died during the climax, nobody cared about the fact that rita was unable to save a squadmate back when she had cage's power, the character are 2 dimensional and lack any noticeably flaw aside from cage's wimpyness at the begining of the film but he overcame that flaw ultimatly.

Part 5: How to not deliverer dialogue
Another with this movie is that despite the cast of establish actor like Tom Cruise and Emilly Blunt, The Dialogue in this film is delivered awkwardly, it's not Pacific Rim levels of cringe worthy but the dialogue is still pretty stilted in how it's was delivered, A lot of Emily Blunt's lines for example like when Rita was telling Cage to meet her in the next cycle, the dialogue was told in a low note and lack any emphasis to it, a lot of Tom Cruise's acting in earlier parts of the film sounded pretty off.

Part 6: Summary and Minor points regarding the movie.
This movie was pretty average, I've a focus a majority of this review on the plot and character, I just point out some point mentioned before I end this review:
6.1. The action scenes are decent but forgettable and too short for my liking
6.2  The ending was terrible and lack any proper resolution for the character
6.3 Will Guardians of the Galaxy saved the Winter/Summer season terms of decent action movie.
All of that aside, the point of this review is to sort of elaborate on why this movie bombed in comparison to other movies, while there's is probably better like Tom Cruise's reputation but I personally think as someone sawed the movie on the Sunday the week before last weak.

If there's is anything I need to correct, please let me know and I'll edit the post in your favor.
