'Edge of Tomorrow': Ground Hog Day for aliens . . .

Cruise dies and keeps coming back to die again by the tentacles of massive, whirling weed-eater creatures that have taken over most of Western Europe. We don't know why they are here but they sure make the killing of mankind look so easy. Those boogers are fast and smart.

There are a lot of twists and turns in the script but the central thread is that Cruise and Emily Blunt are figuring out how to kill the creatures by destroying their command center.

The device of Cruise being killed only to return to his training platoon finally shows a lot of "funny" and Blunt unleashes enormous amounts of droll Brit tone and humor. Besides this being a gigantic CGI flick I would say that Blunt saves the film.

Yeah, it's the same old aliens-conqueror-the-world crap but it does have a few merits in its favor including Bill Paxton who does a good turn as a training NCO.

Turn off your brain and go get some popcorn.
