Tom Cruise back to the future in the
sci-fi thriller Edge
of Tomorrow, which gets its first official theatrical preview
today. The film costars Emily Blunt (Into Woods) and Bill Paxton as human soldiers in a
not-too-distant futuristic war against invading aliens. The twist on this
familiar genre scenario? Cruise’s protagonist is killed in battle, then gets
caught in a time loop that allows him to re-experience his final day as a
breathing person, over and over – gaining in skill as he does so.
Edge of Tomorrow is based on Hiroshi
Sakurazaka’s light novel All You Need Is Kill and was co-adapted for the big screen
by the likes of big-shot screenwriters Christopher Mc-Quarrie (Jack
Reacher) and Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, though its
premise sounds more like an of Hollywood sci-fi titles;
That
seems all the more believable when you recall that the first official image –
showing Cruise wearing a mechanical suit/armored exoskeleton that (in real life) weighed 85 lbs. on
average – made the A-lister look a bit goofy and flustered; as opposed to,
being intimidating in motion.
