Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has described this as Groundhog Day meets Starship Troopers. During a war with an invading alien race, Tom Cruise is a public relations officer for the military who is forced into combat after angering General Brendan Gleeson. During his first mission, he’s squirted with alien blood which causes him to reboot back to the same day any time he is killed. It’s a surprisingly entertaining bit of sci-fi adventure, making great use of Cruise’s charm and advancing age paired with Emily Blunt as a somewhat unlikely super soldier, that manages to maintain a level of humor amidst its high stakes.
