Edge of Tomorrow (3D)

It's "War of the Worlds" meets "Groundhog Day" meets "D-Day" with futuristic "Full Metal Jacket"/ "War Machine"/"Black Hawk Down" weaponry and a "50 First Dates" relationship when a reluctant recruit (Tom Cruise) gets shanghaied onto a doomed mission to save the planet and struggles to become the unsung hero of the day. Along the way, he teams up with a revered special forces warrior (Emily Blunt) in a battle against aliens capable of anticipating their enemies every move. This action-packed thrill ride is a series of heart-pounding intense fire fights against an endless army of lightning fast, deadly, multi-tentacled monsters who seem virtually unstoppable. From alpha to omega, it's the ultimate "do over" game that will keep you on the edge of you seat.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "the Angel of Verdun" stars out of 4.
