Avis Metacritic

The reason the film works is because it throws everything into the blender and comes up with something new, something that has a great lively sense of wit and humor to it, and it takes the time to fully explore its wild premise fully.

For a film about repetition, Edge of Tomorrow never feels tired or familiar.

The pleasure of Edge of Tomorrow is that it’s not an action movie first and foremost, but rather a cheeky little puzzle picture in expensive-looking blockbuster drag.

A playful and frantic science-fiction twister which mimics the best (Aliens, The Matrix, Groundhog Day) while offering something fresh and — most importantly — thrilling.

The breakneck pace leaves little room for meaningful character development... But there’s imagination, spectacle and thrills to spare.

Cruise and Blunt have only as much chemistry as the script allows.

The film’s Groundhog Day-meets-Independence Day plot is actually pretty genius.

Thank heavens, then, for the time-loop gimmick, which sustains a full hour of screen time with enough variations on its gambit to hook you in.

Although the humor helps, the Groundhog Day-like repetition gets tedious; it makes you feel more like a hamster than a groundhog — or rather a hamster's wheel, going round and round, over and over again.

It is basically deadly serious, and after some moderate knockaboutfun, settles into something pretty dull. Where's the edge?
