Hello Lovely Hivers,
Today I'm going to be doing a review on one of my favourite films of all time :
Edge Of Tomorrow
So recently I seem to have adopted the habit of watching movies. I did watch movies occasionally but I never was so much into it.
Not until recently though.
I would jumb into my Netflix app immediately I feel any form of boredom.
Some days back I was scrolling through Netflix and I saw the movie : Edge Of Tomorrow.
I was surprised I had not seen it before. It is a 2014 film.
I have always been a strong Tom Cruise fan! I even had a crush on him when I was little and that is why I was surprised because I had seen almost all his movies.
Except this one of course.
I didn't hesitate any further, I went on to watch it and this is my honest review:
Edge of Tomorrow is a 2014 science fiction action-filled with emotions type movie.
The movie was about a non-combact officer in the military-William Cage who was forced into the forefront of a war between humans and aliens.
It was sited to have happened around 2015, aliens called mimics arrived in Germany via asteroid and went on to conquer the most part of Europe.
By 2020, the United defenses came up with a global military resistance to combat the aliens.
After series of losses they finally scored a victory over the mimics at verdun using some sort of mech suits.
William cage was demoted to a private and sent to front line battle in France with a J-squad team.
He had no combat knowledge.
He went on to meet with Rita Vrataski on the battle field.
This is the other main character.
She was the one who made the victory at verdun possible.
But she had a secret.
One Cage would go on to discover when he encountered an alpha mimic in the battle.
This encounter produced a whole new chain of events that I couldn't have foreseen.
No more spoilers 😉
I think the cinematography was just great. And that's a common theme with every movie Tom cruise is in. It is filled with great action scenes.
Alot of work went on in the production of the film and you can tell from every little detail the scenes carried.
The suits were based on real designs and Tom Cruise did his own stunts.
It was filmed at same place as Harry Potter.
Some of the top casts include: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Franz Drameh and others.
I think all the cast did a great job on their roles.
Brad Pitt was said to have been considered for the role of William Cage but I'm glad Tom got it. 🤗
Though I may have a little bit of personal bias as regards to Tom being one of my favourite actors, I honestly believe this is a really great movie for anyone who loves action packed-filled with emotions type of movies.
It is surely not the regular sci-fi movie and u like most films this days. The ending is pretty satisfying.
I will rate it a 9/10 🤗
★★★★★★★★★☆
It's definitely a must see if you haven't.
