When Earth falls under attack from invincible aliens, no military unit in the world is able to beat them. Maj. William Cage (Tom Cruise), an officer who has never seen combat, is assigned to a suicide mission. Killed within moments, Cage finds himself thrown into a time loop, in which he relives the same brutal fight -- and his death -- over and over again. However, Cage's fighting skills improve with each encore, bringing him and a comrade (Emily Blunt) ever closer to defeating the aliens.

Critics Consensus

Gripping, well-acted, funny, and clever, Edge of Tomorrow offers entertaining proof that Tom Cruise is still more than capable of shouldering the weight of a blockbuster action thriller.

Rated: 3/4 Jul 5, 2022 Full Review Edge of Tomorrow | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Dylan Green Shadow and Act [Edge of Tomorrow] may not be as smart as it could've been in the broad strokes, but a clever, well-acted thrill ride like this doesn't really need to have its head fully in the game, now does it? Aug 15, 2017 Full Review Edge of Tomorrow | Rotten Tomatoes (4) JD Duran InSession Film Edge of Tomorrow is one of Tom Cruise’s best films of late.

Zackary T Way too brilliant to be this underseen. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Vishnu P One of the best sci fi/action movies you will ever watch. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review S K *Spoilers, maybe? (trying to keep minimum)Sci-fi with a good amount of depth. Watched this for the first time in 2024, and I get bored of movies easily because they all seem like baking instructions for the perfect "movie loaf". This one hit a bit different. Action good. Story good. A "me" opinion, but I love that emptiness that comes with time-resetting and building so much in the "one life" (like Groundhog Day). As of now, it's on Netflix, I'd watch it again later if I want to feel some chest pains. Movies please me in my own ways, and I don't even like Tom Cruise, but he was very good in this.. 10/10 for me, would watch again. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Rebecca H So horrible. Great start, awesome potential, and then completely fails at the end with a last 5 minutes wrap up that makes no sense with the rest of the movie precedent and was fabricated so the “guy could get the girl” happy ending. Gross disappointment. Waste of 2 hours. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Mother E Tom Cruise always delivers. This movie is nearly flawless. It's what you want when you watch a sci fi film Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Carlos v Edge of Tomorrow is arguably the best science fiction movie ever made Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
