By and large, the last decade has been, with a few exceptions, a dire one for blockbuster filmmaking. And thats exactly why 2014s Edge of Tomorrow, 10 years after its release, remains a breath of fresh air. Taking equal inspiration from pulp science-fiction, the Groundhog Day-esque time loop subgenre, and the structure of a video game, Edge of Tomorrow mixes all of these disparate elements into something clever and exciting. Its also unexpectedly a dark comic delight, with Tom Cruise poking fun at his action star persona and Emily Blunt proving a fantastic foil.
