Age Of Tomorrow

Age Of Tomorrow

Danny Liman’s futuristic action film involving a couple with no chemistry at all, Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, is literally based on a days novel by Japanese author, Hiroshi Sakurazaka. There is, however, another and more clear debt from a bit farther back. Planet Earth is under siege from aliens and Cruise stars as William Cage, a corporate PR executive with an honorary ”Major” title who runs around in military uniform and promotes the military campaign on TV.

Cage is exasperated with this pompous mannequin on the payroll, so Gen. Brigham (Brendan Gleeson) assigns him to the front line where he fights alongside the legendary badass warrior, Rita (Emily Blunt); and then something strange happens. Cage is in a time loop a cruel cosmic punishment wherein he cannot escape this horrible day of battle’s beginning but can improve and get up the anger and distractingly good looks of Rita even more. Much as Bill Murray gets on his feet, playing the piano in the film Groundhog Day.

This perhaps explains why to months’ of time he had to shoot practically the same scheme twice the same plot, like some sort of postmodern homage to the work of the recently deceased Harold Ramies, which was situational comedy, comedy of the highest quality but where in the end it was Bill Murray who instead lived through a none too profound day and repeated, Repeated, oh and how very much repeated, did a simply move on through another some what flat tone for even a rather (partially) a sign of his character’s discontent.

So as for Tom Cruise as Cage, well. He was relatively poor in the past only to end today being superb, and I have to say that’s not a paraphrase. He is caught in a time loop. He picks up arms and takes part in battle. He is a complete bad-ass. Simple. The experience isn’t meant to be comedic in nature, even though Groundhog Day was both thrilling and quite a few laughs.

The deliberate structure placed lines everywhere in the context so that the meaning can be grabbed easily. People it seems had been unhappy from the very beginning with the film Edge of tomorrow as well as with the direction and delivery of a message in the film. Where is the edge, otherwise?
