I agreed right away even if I don’t really like watching Tom Cruise movies. Don’t get me wrong. Tom Cruise is a good actor. But for some odd reason, I always fall asleep whenever I watch him. Even my favorite Jerry Maguire and A Few Good Men made me snooze. Vanilla Sky made me sleep the longest, in case you’re curious. Another thing I dislike with Tom Cruise movies is the fact that he whispers all the freakin’ time. Every time I watch him, I find myself saying, “Dude, speak louder!!!” Hahaha! Anyway, I wanted to be the good and submissive wife to my husband yet my mind was already set to falling asleep inside the theater! But as they say, there’s a first time for everything. For the first time, my eyes didn’t even blink!!! Good job, Tom! Great job, Je! Nyahaha!

Tom Cruise plays Major William Cage, a media relations officer. Despite not being trained for combat, he found himself on the front lines of a battle against alien invasion. Something happened during the battle which made him go back to that same day over and over again. (Alien invasion. Time travel. Very Tom Cruise.) During the first 30 minutes of the movie, I could not help but scratch my head as I try to digest what was actually happening in the film. There were moments when I find myself getting tired of seeing the same things over and over again, but those scenes actually helped build up the anticipation on what’s going to happen next.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I really liked Edge of Tomorrow. More than the gripping plot, brilliant acting and cool stunts, the best thing about this movie is its ability to let the audience think while being engrossed in what was happening. I kept on telling myself, “I can do this. I can understand this.” Hahaha!
P.S.
Thank God Tom Cruise wasn’t whispering. :p
Hmmm, this movie review made me curious. Dahil dyan, binasa ko na ang Wikipedia tungkol dyan. Haha. In fairness, bagay talaga si Tom Cruise sa mga sci-fi movies. :)
