Lachlan Labere versus Edge of Tomorrow

Thank you Matt Bellamy for convincing me to get out the other night and see Edge of Tomorrow at my local theatre. Because of a terrific partnership between said theatre and my employer, I got to enjoy this latest Tom Cruise sci-fi spectacle fro $2. And in 3D no less. The price was a bonus. Because of Bellamy's review here on WCFTB, I was prepared to pay the full cost of admission. And now I can admit, I don't feel I would have felt ripped off if I had.

Matt Bellamy versus Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow deals with the idea of not exactly time travel , per say but something more along of the lines of "time repetition"; re-living the same day/event over, and over, and over again. For the sake of scientific conversation though, let's take a trip back in time to a very specific date: Monday, May 23, 2005. In my very best Neil deGrasse Tyson voice: "Come with me..."

Live, die, repeat in this Edge of Tomorrow trailer

Between Godzilla and Doug Liman 's Edge of Tomorrow, Warner Bros' is looking pretty damn good for the summer of 2014. Granted, I preferred the title All You Need Is Kill over Edge of Tomorrow, but what the deuce do I know.  Tom Cruise and the yum that is Emily Blunt star in this sci-fi tale about a soldier who finds himself in a time loop of the last day of his battle with aliens. Think Groundhog Day with guns and alien invaders, and you still won't come close to how awesome this movie looks. No disrespect to Groundhog Day. Edge of Tomorrow also stars Bill Paxton , Kick Gurry , Dragomir Mrsic, Charlotte Riley , Jonas Armstrong and Franz Drameh . The flick opens June 6.
