Review: When I saw that Doug Liman was directing and McQuarrie penning, I was interested. I liked Limans first Bourne film over Greengrass-directed nauseating shaky-cam sequels. McQuarrie is a wonderful screenwriter, and these two seemed like a perfect pair.I got what I hoped: a movie that doesnt treat me like a 10-year old. Edge of tomorrow is smart, entertaining, exciting and fun. Its an original movie as well, not a sequel or a remake (although I hear it might be inspired by a novel or graphic novel).Tom Cruise - who plays a slightly different character than usually - is good, he always brings his best. He cares about his projects and demands to do as much stunts as possible. His passion can be seen here too and he is again a joy to watch, but this isnt a movie for Cruise to carry. Liman and McQuarrie carry this movie with smart pacing, transitions and that certain magic good filmmakers seem to be able to harness at will.Emily Blunt isnt a useless sidekick, but a strong and likable character. Not annoyingly strong on the surface like some feminist ball-busting fantasy, but a real character and deserves every minute of her screen time. Bill Paxton was fun to see as a hard-ass sergeant, and Brendan Gleeson was good as well - even though his screen time is limited. All the main actors work well together, if a scene is shared.The movie flows in an interesting way and it likes to surprise you. Im not talking about forced twists, Im talking about that special situation where you dont know what happens next. Ive missed that feeling. I didnt have to pretend to care about the movie, I was interested in every minute of it. This happens rarely. And when it ends, youre satisfied. No setting up sequels, no ambiguous crap, just a solid, fitting ending.Unlike Cruises last sci-fi film Oblivion, this is definitely an action movie. At first glance it may look like a generic sci-fi action film - and granted, sometimes (suits, aliens) it does - but theres enough personality of its own. Action looks good and the camera doesnt shake around senselessly. Also, the action never goes into that overblown mode where your senses get tired and you just dont care anymore. Well done.Edge of tomorrow is a thoroughly entertaining film. Its just a summer movie, but its a smart, fun and exciting summer movie. You dont have to make excuses for its shortcomings to enjoy it. Its quality filmmaking and certainly a positive surprise.9/10, will buy on blu-ray. I recommend this to everyone. Avoid as much spoilers as you can.
